The AirTAC Airtac MSG Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MSG32X125 is a genuine single acting, push (spring return) JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 125mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a SUS304 stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
The AirTAC MSG32X125 is a single acting, PUSH type JIS round-body mini cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 125 mm stroke: compressed air extends the rod and an internal return spring retracts it when air is released. Because air is only needed on the work stroke, one air line and one valve port drive the whole cycle, which saves air and simplifies the circuit for one-way clamp, eject, press and lift tasks. The 281.3 N push at 0.5 MPa (442.1 N at 0.7 MPa) is already net of the return spring, so a conservative working load is about 168 N, roughly 17 kg, and a safe vertical lift figure is about 14 kg.
Construction suits damp and washdown surroundings: a SUS304 stainless barrel with a hard-chrome (20 um) carbon-steel rod, riveted and rolled covers, a two-way lubricant-storing piston seal and a fixed anti-impact bumper pad at the stroke end. The JIS-standard footprint drops into standard JIS mini brackets and I or Y rod knuckles, with LB foot, FA flange, CB clevis or SDB pivot mounting. The return spring caps the standard stroke at 150 mm and sets a 0.2 MPa (28 psi) minimum working pressure; for a two-directional or longer stroke, step up to the double-acting MG.

Single-acting push: air extends the rod; the return spring retracts it. Forces already net the spring; minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa.

| 32 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×125 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. |
| FA / LB / CB / SDB | Mounting: FA flange, LB foot, CB clevis, SDB pivot bracket (with CB). |
MG-family variants: MG / MGC (double acting ±cushion), MSG / MTG (single acting push / pull), MGD / MGCD (double rod ±cushion). Accessories: LB foot, FA flange, CB clevis, SDB pivot block, plus I and Y knuckles. Thread PT (blank) / G / NPT.
Air extends the rod to clamp a fixture or workpiece; releasing the valve lets the return spring back the rod off automatically. The 281.3 N push at 0.5 MPa suits jigs and small fixtures on assembly benches.
A single valve pulse pushes finished parts off a chute or out of a nest at up to 800 mm/s, and the spring retracts the rod for the next cycle without a second air line.
The 442.1 N push at 0.7 MPa presses caps, plugs or lids in one direction; the fixed bumper pad softens the stroke end and the spring returns the plunger for reloading.
Choose the MSG32X125 when your one-way task needs mid-range force: 281.3 N push at 0.5 MPa or 442.1 N at 0.7 MPa, both net of the return spring. Size down to the bore 20 or 25 MSG for lighter clamps, or up to the bore 40 MSG for the largest force in this family. Remember the spring-return design: the rod retracts to its rest position on air loss, and the spring sets a 0.2 MPa (28 psi) minimum working pressure, so it cannot hold a load in place. The 125 mm stroke sits within the 150 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. If you need a two-way stroke or longer travel, select the double-acting MG instead. Add the S code for a magnet if you want CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position sensing; this no-S model carries no magnet and accepts no sensor. Mounting: LB foot, FA flange, CB clevis or SDB pivot, plus I and Y rod knuckles; port is 1/8" with PT thread as standard (G or NPT on request).
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore single acting push cylinder gives 281.3 N at 0.5 MPa and 442.1 N at 0.7 MPa, both net of the return spring. Operating pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure, air filtered to 40 um, a speed range of 50-800 mm/s and a temperature range of -20 to +70 C. The port is 1/8" and the male rod thread is M10x1.25.
Air only acts on the extend side: one air line extends the rod, and when air is released the internal spring retracts it to the rest position, so the cylinder does not hold a load on air loss. The fixed bumper pad only softens the stroke end. To detect rod position, order the -S variant, which adds the magnet required by CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches; this standard MSG32X125 has no magnet and no sensor. For a two-directional stroke, use the double-acting MG.
