Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X170SU
The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X170SU is a genuine double acting JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 170mm 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 MF32X170SU
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore double-acting actuator uses a SUS304 stainless barrel with riveted aluminium covers to resist mild washdown. The JIS-standard round body is physically shorter than a comparable ISO 6432 cylinder for the same 170 mm stroke, saving valuable mounting length in tight machinery. A 1/4 inch port drives the 12 mm rod, and fixed TPU bumper pads soften stroke-end impact.
The built-in piston magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for position sensing, while the flat-end U back cover suits flush mounting. Plan for roughly 241 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which safely lifts about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The two-way oil-retaining seal ensures long service life across the 30-800 mm/s speed range.

Where the Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X170SU Is Used
Carton Diverter Arms
Pushes lightweight packaging cartons at 90 degrees along a sorting line using 402.2 N of thrust, with the U flat-end cover mounting flush against the conveyor frame.
Small Press Ejection
Ejects stamped metal parts from a die bed using the 170 mm stroke, relying on the fixed TPU bumper pads to absorb the end-of-travel impact without adjustable cushions.
Vertical Parts Lift
Raises lightweight plastic totes vertically; safely lifts about 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin at 0.5 MPa while the DMSG sensor confirms the top position.
Is the Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X170SU the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore, the smaller MF25 provides 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the MF40 yields 628.3 N. If your process drops air pressure or the valve centres, the piston will drift and cannot hold a load; the bumpers only decelerate the stroke end. To lock a suspended weight, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The included -S magnet enables solid-state or reed sensors, and the 170 mm stroke pairs well with LB foot or FA flange mounts to manage side loads and prevent rod bending.
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 MF32X170SU FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4 inch port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. It generates 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
For the same 32 mm bore and 170 mm stroke, the JIS round-body design is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving mounting length. The SUS304 stainless barrel resists corrosion, the flat-end U rear cover allows direct back mounting, and the -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
