Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X10CATC
The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X10CATC is a genuine double acting JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 10mm 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 MF32X10CATC
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder features a SUS304 stainless steel barrel with riveted aluminium covers. Because its physical body is shorter than a comparable ISO 6432 unit for the same 32 mm bore and 10 mm stroke, it provides a distinct packaging advantage in tight machinery. The 1/4" port and M10x1.25 male rod thread ensure robust pneumatic and mechanical connections.
The internal piston relies on a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains an oil film for prolonged operational life, while fixed TPU bumper pads and a front-cover anti-impact pad soften stroke-end impacts. Plan for roughly 241 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa to maintain a safe margin, which translates to lifting about 20.5 kg vertically. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.

Where the Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X10CATC Is Used
Clamping Housings
Exerts up to 402.2 N at 0.5 MPa to secure aluminium die-cast housings during CNC machining, utilising its compact 10 mm stroke to fit within dense fixturing.
Short-Stroke Diverter
Pivots via the CA rear cover and TC trunnion to deflect small packages on a conveyor line, where the shorter-than-ISO-6432 body length prevents interference with the belt frame.
Film Sealing Press
Provides the 241 N safe working load needed to hold sealing jaws closed on a vertical form-fill-seal machine, while the fixed TPU bumpers quietly absorb the repetitive impact.
Is the Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X10CATC the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore, compare it directly with its neighbours: the MF25 provides 245.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger MF40 yields 628.3 N. If your fixture requires position holding, remember that a standard cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centred—the bumpers only decelerate the end of travel and act as neither a brake nor a lock. You must integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve to suspend a load safely.
This configuration includes a CA pivot back cover and pairs with a TC trunnion mount, giving you a pivoting chassis ideal for accommodating slight misalignments. Even with a short 10 mm stroke, be mindful of side loads on the 12 mm rod to prevent premature seal wear. If your application requires position feedback, you must select the -S magnet variant, as this base unit cannot host a reed switch.
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 MF32X10CATC FAQ
The 32 mm bore generates a push force of 402.2 N and a pull force of 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa. 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. This unit uses a 1/4" air port and operates at speeds between 30 and 800 mm/s.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet option, meaning it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches. You would need to specify an MF32 model with the -S suffix for position sensing. The cylinder features a SUS304 stainless steel barrel and uses fixed TPU bumper pads rather than an adjustable air cushion.
