The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X10SCA 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.
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting 32 mm bore mini cylinder is built around a JIS-standard round body. Its SUS304 stainless steel barrel and riveted aluminium covers shrug off mild corrosion and washdown environments. Because the MF envelope is physically shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the identical bore and stroke, it carves out valuable space in tight machinery.
The integrated CA pivot back cover allows direct articulated rear mounting, while the 1/4" port feeds the chamber efficiently. Fixed TPU bumper pads and a front-cover anti-impact pad work together to soften stroke-end impact, though they decelerate rather than provide adjustable cushioning. Plan for a safe working load of roughly 241 N, which translates to lifting about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 82 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

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.
Ideal for locking small aluminium extrusions in a CNC machining fixture using its 10 mm travel and 402.2 N push force.
Articulated via the CA pivot to swing a diverter arm on a packaging line, rapidly sorting light cardboard cartons.
Presses small bushings into die-cast housings on an automated assembly dial table, relying on the compact stainless body.
When sizing this 32 mm bore unit against its neighbours, the MF25 provides 245.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the MF40 yields 628.3 N. The 10 mm stroke here is ideal for short clamping motions, but always guard against side loads to prevent rod bending. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you can directly mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for position detection.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder will drift and cannot hold a load if air pressure drops or the valve is centred; the bumpers only soften the end of travel. To secure a suspended load, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your circuit.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4" port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. It generates 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum force of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The riveted SUS304 stainless round body is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same 32x10 dimensions, saving mounting length. The built-in CA pivot back cover allows articulated rear mounting, and the -S magnet supports CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
