The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X100SCMTC 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.
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting 32 mm bore mini cylinder integrates a CM round-end rear cover and a TC trunnion mount for complex pivoting frames. The JIS-standard round-body architecture is physically shorter than a comparable ISO 6432 unit, saving valuable mounting length in tight machinery. Its SUS304 stainless steel barrel and riveted aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdown environments.
The construction relies on fixed TPU bumper pads and a front-cover anti-impact pad to decelerate the stroke end, rather than an adjustable air cushion. Because the code includes an S, the piston carries a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches. For practical sizing, plan for a safe working load of roughly 241 N, which means it can vertically lift about 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The unit features a 1/4 inch air port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread.

MF-family variants: MF / MFC (double acting ±cushion), MSF / MTF (single acting push / pull), MFD / MFCD (double rod ±cushion), MFJ / MFCJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
Secures aluminium die-cast parts during CNC machining, utilizing the 402.2 N push force to maintain rigid holding without deflecting the workpiece.
Actuates a pivot arm to sort medium-weight cartons on a packaging line, where the TC trunnion mount absorbs lateral stress during the stroke.
Raises and lowers access gates on material handling enclosures, easily lifting the 20 kg door panels within a safe 2:1 mechanical margin.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, evaluate your force needs carefully: stepping down to the MF25 yields 245.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while moving up to the MF40 provides 628.3 N. This model hits a solid middle ground for 100 mm stroke applications. The TC trunnion mounting paired with the CM rear cover is ideal for self-aligning pivot loads, but ensure side loads are minimized to prevent rod bending over the 100 mm extension.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder will drift if air pressure drops or the valve is centered, as the bumper pads only soften end-of-stroke impacts and act as no brake. If your fixture must absolutely hold a vertical load during an air loss event, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4 inch air port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. At 0.5 MPa it provides 402.2 N of push force and 345.6 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 563 N and pull to 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The JIS-standard round-body design is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder of the same bore and stroke, saving mounting space. It uses fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate at the stroke end rather than an adjustable air cushion. Additionally, the included -S magnet allows for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor integration.
