The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X145SU is a genuine double acting JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 145mm 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 that resist mild washdown. Because the JIS-standard round body is physically shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder of the same bore and stroke, it trims valuable mounting length in tight fixtures. The base unit relies on fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate the stroke end, while a two-way oil-retaining piston seal ensures long service life.
Practically, you should plan for a safe working load of roughly 241 N rather than pushing the absolute limit. That translates to lifting about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin, making it a solid match for moderate automation tasks. The integrated -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches, and the rear U flat-end cover provides a flush mounting face. Air connects via a 1/4 inch port.

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.
Pushes medium-weight cartons off a sorting line using the 402.2 N push force, fitting neatly into tight transfer gaps.
Secures aluminium extrusions during CNC machining, providing stable holding via the U flat-end rear cover.
Elevates components weighing up to 20.5 kg on a test rig, using the integrated magnet to confirm top and bottom positions.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, the adjacent MF25 generates 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the MF40 yields 628.3 N, giving you clear scaling options if your payload shifts. The 145 mm stroke is well within the 500 mm standard maximum, but at this extension be mindful of side loads to avoid rod bending. The included -S magnet allows direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for end-position detection.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder will drift if air pressure drops or the valve is centred, as the TPU bumpers only soften the end-of-stroke impact and act purely as a deceleration pad. If your application requires the load to stay put during an air loss event, you must add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore double-acting cylinder pushes with 402.2 N and pulls with 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push is 563 N and the pull is 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa, and the air port size is 1/4 inch.
The MF does not conform to ISO 6432, but its JIS-standard round body is intentionally shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same stroke, saving space. It uses fixed TPU bumper pads for end-deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion. You can mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors since this SKU includes the -S magnet.
