The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X10SCM 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 32 mm bore double-acting mini cylinder is built around a SUS304 stainless steel barrel with riveted aluminium covers that resist mild corrosion and washdown. Because the JIS-standard round body is physically shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same 10 mm stroke, it fits tighter fixtures and saves valuable mounting length. The piston relies on a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains an oil film for long life, while fixed TPU bumper pads and a front-cover anti-impact pad soften stroke-end impact.
For real-world sizing, plan for about 241 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which safely lifts roughly 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches, and the CM back cover provides a round-end rear mounting face. Air connects via a 1/4" port, and the M10x1.25 male rod thread handles the 12 mm piston rod.

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 or plastic jigs in CNC machining centres where a 10 mm travel and 402.2 N of force securely seat the part.
Deploys a short 10 mm pop-up deflector gate on a packaging line to reroute lightweight cardboard cartons without taking up excessive frame depth.
Provides a rapid 10 mm ejection stroke to push moulded plastic components out of an assembly fixture, utilising the built-in magnet for position confirmation.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, the smaller MF25 provides 245.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the MF40 yields 628.3 N. This MF32X10SCM strikes a middle ground for short 10 mm movements. If your process drops air pressure or centres the valve, the piston will drift and cannot hold position, as the fixed TPU pads only decelerate the stroke end rather than acting as a brake; add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for secure load holding. With a very short 10 mm stroke, side-load and rod-bending stresses are minimal, but ensure the CM round-end back cover is rigidly supported to prevent misalignment.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore double-acting cylinder uses a 1/4" air 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 MF is a JIS-standard round-body cylinder that is physically shorter than an ISO 6432 model for the same stroke, so it saves space but does not conform to ISO 6432 dimensions. The -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches for sensing, and the CM round-end back cover supports specific rear mounting configurations.
