The AirTAC Airtac MTG Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MTG32X125 is a genuine single acting, pull (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 MTG32X125 is a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder built as a single acting PULL unit: an internal spring holds the rod out at rest, and compressed air retracts (pulls) it through the 125 mm stroke. With 32 mm bore and 0.5 MPa supply it delivers about 225 N of net pull, rising to 363 N at 0.7 MPa. Because air is only needed on the work stroke, one 1/8" port and a single air line are enough, which simplifies plumbing on compact fixtures and gates.
Construction suits damp and washdown-adjacent environments: a SUS304 stainless barrel, a hard-chrome plated 12 mm rod with M10x1.25 male thread, riveted covers, a two-way lubricant-storing piston seal and a fixed anti-impact bumper pad at the stroke end. Operating range is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) at 50-800 mm/s, proof tested to 1.5 MPa (215 psi). As a practical sizing rule, treat about 0.6 of the 224.8 N pull as the safe working figure, roughly 13 kgf for a vertical draw. Add the S option if you need CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switch position feedback.

|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 224.8 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 363.0 N |
Single-acting pull: the spring extends the rod; air retracts it. Forces already net the spring; minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa.

| ×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 pulls the pin out of a fixture or die on command; when pressure drops, the spring pushes the rod back out and re-engages the pin automatically, a fail-safe default for clamping nests.
The spring-loaded rod keeps a take-up arm pressed against a belt or film web while air retracts it to release tension for threading or roll changes on packaging and converting lines.
A single valve stroke closes a machine guard shutter, chute gate or diverting flap; the spring reopens it on air loss, so the mechanism always returns to its rest position.
Choose the MTG32X125 when your motion is a one-way pull of about 135 N or less at 0.5 MPa (using the 0.6 safety factor on the 224.8 N net pull) over a 125 mm stroke. The 32 mm bore is the second-largest MTG; step up to MTG40 for about 339 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or down to MTG25 for about 133 N. Remember the spring extends the rod and air retracts it, and the spring-return design sets a 0.2 MPa minimum working pressure and caps standard strokes at 150 mm for this bore. If you need two-way powered travel or a longer stroke, move to the double-acting MG series instead. Mounting options are LB foot, FA flange, CB clevis and SDB pivot, plus I and Y rod knuckles; thread is PT and the port is 1/8" on every MTG bore. Order the S code to enable CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensing; without it no sensor can be fitted.
Quick checklist
Net pull (already after the spring) is 224.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 363 N at 0.7 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) with a 0.2 MPa minimum because the spring must be overcome, proof pressure is 1.5 MPa (215 psi), speed is 50-800 mm/s, and the temperature range is -20 to +70 C with air filtered to 40 um.
In the MTG the spring extends the rod to its rest position and compressed air retracts (pulls) it on the work stroke, so on air loss the rod fails to the extended position. The MSG is the opposite single acting type (air pushes, spring retracts), and the MG is double acting with air in both directions. This model has no magnet, so no CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensor can be mounted unless you order the S code.
