The AirTAC Airtac MSG Stainless Steel Mini Air Cylinder MSG32X50S is a genuine single acting, push (spring return) JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 50mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a SUS304 stainless-steel barrel with a hard-chrome-plated rod for reliable, mildly corrosion-resistant service.
The MSG32X50S is a single acting, PUSH type JIS round-body mini cylinder: compressed air extends the 12 mm rod through a 50 mm stroke, and an internal return spring retracts it the moment air is released. Because air is only used on the work stroke, one air line and one valve port are all the circuit needs, which saves air and wiring on one-way clamping, ejecting and pressing tasks. The 32 mm bore delivers about 281.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa (442.1 N at 0.7 MPa), figures already net of the return spring, and the spring sets a 0.2 MPa (28 psi) minimum working pressure.
The S in the model code means a magnet is fitted, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches can be mounted to signal rod position. Construction suits damp and washdown environments: a SUS304 stainless barrel, a hard-chrome plated rod (20 um chrome), riveted rolled covers and a fixed anti-impact bumper pad that softens the stroke ends. As a rough buyer rule, size the working load at about 0.6 of the push force, so roughly 17 kgf for lifting duty at 0.5 MPa. Note the spring-return travel caps the standard stroke at 150 mm for this bore; for a two-directional or longer stroke, step up to the double-acting MG series.

| 0.7 MPa | 442.1 N |
Single-acting push: air extends the rod; the return spring retracts it. Forces already net the spring; minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa.

| ×50 | 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 jig; on valve exhaust the return spring releases the clamp automatically, so a dropped air line cannot leave the part locked.
The 281.3 N push at 0.5 MPa is enough to knock finished parts off a nest or out of a chute, with the spring retracting the rod for the next cycle without a second valve port.
A short 50 mm press stroke seats caps, lids or snap fittings; the fixed bumper pad softens the stroke end, and the spring returns the ram ready for the next part.
Choose the MSG32X50S when your task is one-directional push with spring return and the 32 mm bore's 281.3 N push at 0.5 MPa covers the load with margin (plan on about 0.6x, roughly 17 kgf for vertical lift). The 0.2 MPa (28 psi) minimum working pressure is set by the return spring, and on air loss the spring retracts the rod to rest; it does not hold a load in place. If you need less force, the MSG20 or MSG25 is smaller; for the largest output in this family pick the MSG40. For a two-way stroke or longer than the 150 mm standard limit, use the double-acting MG instead. Mounting options are LB foot, FA flange, CB clevis and SDB pivot, plus I and Y rod knuckles; the fitted magnet accepts CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. Port is 1/8" on every MSG bore; thread options are PT (blank), G or NPT.
Quick checklist
The 32 mm bore gives 281.3 N push at 0.5 MPa and 442.1 N at 0.7 MPa, already 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, speed 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 is applied to one side only to extend the rod; when air is released, the internal spring retracts it to the rest position. The spring does not hold or brake a load, and the bumper pad only softens the stroke end. The S code means a magnet is fitted, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches can be mounted for position sensing. Compared with the double-acting MG, the MSG uses one air line and one valve port but only pushes in one direction.
