Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X15SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X15SCA is a genuine double acting JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 15mm 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.

About the Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X15SCA
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, the AirTAC MF32X15SCA is a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder engineered for tight machinery. Its SUS304 stainless-steel barrel and riveted aluminium covers shrug off mild washdown while the two-way piston seal retains an oil film for long service life. The built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches.
This 32 mm bore, 15 mm stroke unit breathes through a 1/4" port and features a CA pivot back cover. Fixed TPU bumper pads and a front-cover anti-impact pad soften the stroke-end impact. Plan for roughly 241 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which means it can safely lift about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X15SCA Is Used
Short-Stroke Clamping
Uses the 15 mm stroke to secure aluminium extrusions during CNC machining, leveraging the 402.2 N push force to hold parts firmly without overtravel.
Package Diverter Arm
Pivots via the CA rear mount to deflect cardboard cartons on a sorting line, where the SUS304 barrel withstands incidental dust and moisture.
Component Insertion
Presses small bearings into housings on an automated assembly fixture, using the integrated magnet to trigger an EMSG sensor and confirm insertion depth.
Is the Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X15SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore unit, dropping down to the MF25 yields 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the MF40 provides 628.3 N. Because the MF32X15SCA lacks an adjustable air cushion, rely on the fixed TPU bumpers for end-of-stroke deceleration. If your process demands high-cycle speed, consider the MFC variant for its tunable cushioning.
The included -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for end-position confirmation. Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts if air pressure drops or the valve centres; the bumpers only soften impacts and will not brake the load. To suspend a vertical weight safely, install an external pilot check valve or a dedicated rod lock.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G / NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check Use correct back cover (CA/U/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X15SCA FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/4" 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.
The CA back cover provides a rear pivot point for angular movement. Furthermore, the JIS-standard round body is physically shorter than a comparable ISO 6432 cylinder for the same 32 mm bore and 15 mm stroke, saving valuable mounting length in compact assemblies.
