The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X150CA is a genuine double acting JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 150mm 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.
Generating 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, the AirTAC MF32X150CA is a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder engineered for tight machinery layouts. Because its riveted rolling-packed structure is physically shorter than a comparable ISO 6432 unit for the same 32 mm bore and 150 mm stroke, it directly reduces your overall machine footprint. The SUS304 stainless barrel and aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdown, while the piston's two-way seal retains an oil film for extended lifespan.
This double-acting actuator features a 1/4" port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. Fixed TPU bumper pads and a front-cover anti-impact pad soften the stroke-end impact by decelerating the piston. For practical sizing, plan for about 241 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which means it can safely lift a 20.5 kg vertical load with a 2:1 safety margin. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot support 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.
Leverages the CA pivot back cover to angle-push a 20 kg sub-assembly housing into a machining fixture, utilising the 402.2 N output to seat components firmly without over-stressing the frame.
Extends 150 mm to actuate a routing flap on a packaging line, where the shorter JIS body preserves valuable transfer clearance between adjacent conveyor belts.
Drives a mechanical arm to fold heavy cardboard flaps prior to sealing, relying on the SUS304 stainless construction to withstand dusty, mildly humid warehouse environments.
When sizing this 32 mm bore actuator, the smaller MF25 provides 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa, while the larger MF40 delivers 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa, giving you clear stepping stones for adjusting your force budget. The MF32X150CA comes with a CA pivot back cover, making it ideal for pivoting loads, and can be paired with LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion mounts. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors; if your sequence requires position feedback, you must select the -S variant.
With a 150 mm stroke, be mindful of rod bending under heavy side loads. Additionally, a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centred—the bumper pads only soften the end of stroke and act as neither a lock nor a brake. To suspend a load safely during an air failure, 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. At 0.5 MPa it provides 402.2 N of push and 345.6 N of pull. At 0.7 MPa the push increases to 563 N and the pull to 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, because this specific model lacks the -S suffix, it has no internal magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the MF32X150CA-S variant for sensing. Additionally, it uses fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate the stroke end rather than an adjustable air cushion.
