The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X10SCMLB 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 SUS304 stainless barrel with riveted aluminium covers. Because it follows JIS dimensions, the body is physically shorter than a comparable ISO 6432 unit for the same 10 mm stroke, yielding a tight packaging envelope for compact machinery. The 1/4" port feeds the chamber rapidly, while a two-way oil-retaining piston seal ensures lasting lubrication.
Fixed TPU bumper pads and a front-cover anti-impact pad absorb the shock at stroke extremes, though they decelerate rather than provide adjustable cushioning. Plan for roughly 241 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa to maintain a safe margin, which equates to lifting about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety factor. The built-in magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches.

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 holding aluminium extrusions in a machining fixture, using the 10 mm stroke to rapidly secure parts against a stop.
Provides the precise 402.2 N push at 0.5 MPa needed to tuck minor flaps on a packaging line before the major flaps are sealed.
Ejects lightweight moulded plastic parts from a die set, where the short JIS body keeps the press envelope minimised.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, stepping down to the MF25 yields 245.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the MF40 provides 628.3 N. This model includes a CM round-end rear cover and an LB foot mounting bracket for stable base fixation. The integrated magnet allows seamless sensor placement.
If your process drops air pressure or centres the valve, the piston will drift and cannot hold a load; the bumpers only soften the end-of-stroke impact. For vertical or suspended loads that must remain fixed during an air loss event, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore double-acting cylinder uses a 1/4" port. 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 of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
It features a JIS-standard round-body design that is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same stroke. Stroke-end deceleration is handled by fixed TPU bumper pads rather than an adjustable air cushion, and the LB foot bracket secures the base.
