The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X140SU is a genuine double acting JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 140mm 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. The riveted rolling-packed structure shrinks the overall body length compared to an ISO 6432 unit of the same bore and stroke, giving you a tangible packaging advantage in tight machinery. A 1/4 inch port supplies the air, driving a 12 mm rod with an M10x1.25 male thread.
Because the piston relies on a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains an oil film, internal friction stays low over long cycles. Fixed TPU bumper pads and a front-cover anti-impact pad absorb the shock at stroke extremes, though they decelerate rather than act as a lock. 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. The -S suffix equips the piston with a magnet for position sensing.

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.
Swings a routing gate on a packaging line, using the 402.2 N push force to snap 20.5 kg loads smoothly onto an adjacent belt.
Drives a 12 mm rod down to seat dowel pins in an aluminium jig, relying on the compact JIS body to fit between tight tooling plates.
Acts as a pneumatic stop for incoming pallets on a roller conveyor, using the fixed TPU bumper pads to absorb the impact of arriving goods.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, the adjacent MF25 yields 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the MF40 provides 628.3 N—choose this model when the 25 mm falls short but you want a smaller footprint than the 40 mm. The U flat-end back cover suits direct rear mounting, and you can pair the internal magnet with CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches for end-of-stroke confirmation. If your mechanism must hold a vertical load mid-stroke during an air loss event, remember this cylinder will drift; add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve for secure positioning. At a 140 mm stroke, keep the side-load minimal to avoid rod bending and premature seal wear.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore double-acting cylinder uses a 1/4 inch port. It generates 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
It does not conform to ISO 6432, but its JIS-standard round body is physically shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same stroke, saving mounting length. The U flat-end back cover allows direct mounting. It cannot hold a load if air is lost; you need an external rod lock or pilot check valve for that.
