Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X100CA
The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X100CA is a genuine double acting JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 100mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a SUS304 stainless-steel barrel for mildly corrosive environments. For the same bore and stroke it is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving mounting space.

About the Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X100CA
Generating 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder features a SUS304 stainless barrel with riveted aluminium covers. The 1/4 inch port and M10x1.25 male rod thread equip the 32 mm bore for demanding tasks. A heterogeneous two-way seal retains an oil film for extended lifespan, while fixed TPU bumper pads soften stroke-end impacts.
Because the riveted rolling-packed structure is more compact, the overall body is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder of the same bore and stroke, yielding a real packaging advantage in tight fixtures. Plan for roughly 241 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which means it lifts about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The rear CA pivot cover simplifies articulated mounting, though this specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot host position switches.

Where the Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X100CA Is Used
Articulated Gripper Actuation
Uses the rear CA pivot to drive a pincer mechanism on an assembly line, applying 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa to close clamps around metal housings.
Package Diverting Arm
Swings a diverter blade on a packaging conveyor, relying on the compact JIS body to fit between tight roller gaps while handling lateral product routing.
Vertical Parts Lift
Raises lightweight plastic component trays weighing up to 20.5 kg, safely operating within a 2:1 safety margin of its 0.5 MPa thrust capacity.
Is the Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X100CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore, the smaller MF25 yields 245.3 N and the larger MF40 provides 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa, giving you clear stepping stones for adjusting thrust. The 100 mm stroke is well within the 500 mm standard limit, but always watch for side loads that could bend the 12 mm rod over longer extensions. This base model lacks the S suffix, meaning it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic sensors without swapping to a -S variant.
Remember that air pressure alone does not secure the piston; if valve centering or supply loss occurs, the rod will drift because the TPU pads only decelerate the end of travel. To prevent dropping a suspended load, integrate an external pilot-operated check valve or a dedicated rod lock rather than relying on the cylinder itself.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G / NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check Use correct back cover (CA/U/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X100CA FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4 inch air port and generates 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push increases to 563 N and pull to 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU lacks the internal magnet, so CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches cannot be used. You would need the MF32X100CA-S variant for position sensing. It uses fixed TPU bumper pads for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion.
