The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X150SCM 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 32 mm bore mini cylinder handles demanding 150 mm stroke tasks. Its JIS-standard round body is physically shorter than a comparable ISO 6432 unit, saving valuable mounting length in tight machine cells. The SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdown environments.
Equipped with a built-in piston magnet (-S) and a round-end CM back cover, it supports CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensing. The internal two-way seal retains an oil film for extended lifespan, while fixed TPU bumper pads and a front-cover anti-impact pad soften stroke-end impacts. Plan for about 241 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which means it can safely lift roughly 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 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.
Pushes medium-weight cartons off a sorting line using its 402.2 N thrust and 150 mm travel range.
Secures aluminium extrusions during CNC machining, benefiting from the compact JIS body length.
Acts as a pneumatic stop gate for 20 kg workpiece pallets, safely holding within the 241 N working load.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, verify your actual load requirements against its 402.2 N push capacity at 0.5 MPa. If your application is lighter, stepping down to the MF25 provides 245.3 N and saves space, while heavier payloads require the MF40 at 628.3 N. The 150 mm stroke operates well within the 500 mm standard limit, though long strokes increase side-load sensitivity, so ensure rigid front mounting to prevent rod bending.
This SKU includes the -S magnet for electronic or reed switches and features a CM round-end rear cover for pivot mounting. Note that standard double-acting cylinders drift when air is removed or a valve is centred; the TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end and do not function as a brake. To suspend a load safely, install an external pilot check valve or a rod lock.
Quick checklist
The 32 mm bore features a 1/4" air port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. It generates 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the MF is a JIS-standard cylinder that is simply shorter than an ISO 6432 unit, so ISO brackets will not fit. It uses fixed TPU bumper pads for deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion. Mounting options include LB, FA, SDB, and TC styles, and this CM round-end version supports pivot mounting.
