The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X150SCA 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, this double-acting JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder uses a SUS304 stainless-steel barrel with riveted aluminium covers to resist mild washdown. Because the MF body is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same 32 mm bore and 150 mm stroke, it saves valuable mounting length in tight machinery. The piston relies on a two-way oil-retaining seal for long life, while fixed TPU pads and a front-cover anti-impact pad soften stroke-end impact.
Featuring a built-in magnet for position sensing and a CA pivot back cover, it connects via a 1/4 inch port. Plan for about 241 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which means it lifts roughly 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The bumper pads decelerate the stroke but do not act as a lock, so the rod drifts if air pressure drops.

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 diverter gate on a packaging line using the CA pivot, relying on the 402.2 N push force to redirect heavy cartons at high speed.
Raises lightweight industrial totes 150 mm; the 20.5 kg safe vertical lift capacity easily handles component trays between assembly stations.
Secures aluminium extrusions in a machining fixture where the shorter JIS body prevents interference with the cutting head.
For sizing context, the smaller MF25 bore yields 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa, whereas the larger MF40 bore provides 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa. This 32 mm model hits a strong middle ground for medium-force tasks. If your process demands holding a load vertically during an air loss or valve centre, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve, as the TPU pads only absorb end-of-stroke impact without braking the piston.
This SKU includes the -S magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches, and the CA rear pivot simplifies angular mounting. With a 150 mm stroke, ensure your guiding structure handles side loads to prevent rod bending, and note the male M10x1.25 rod thread for your fixtures.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.2 N and pulls 345.6 N. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 563 N and pulls 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This 32 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/4 inch port.
The CA back cover provides a rear pivot point for angular movement. The -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors to detect position. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb end-of-stroke impact but do not function as an adjustable air cushion or a load-holding brake.
