Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X175CA
The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X175CA is a genuine double acting JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 175mm 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 MF32X175CA
Generating 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, the AirTAC MF32X175CA is a double-acting JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder built for tight machinery layouts. Because its riveted rolling-packed structure is physically shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder of the identical bore and stroke, it directly saves valuable mounting length. The SUS304 stainless steel barrel pairs with aluminium covers to resist mild corrosion and washdown, while the piston relies on a two-way oil-reservoir seal for prolonged service life. This specific SKU lacks a magnet, meaning it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches without upgrading to an -S variant.
Practical output planning means budgeting for roughly 241 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which safely lifts about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Fixed TPU bumper pads and a front-cover anti-impact pad soften the end-of-stroke impact, though they only decelerate rather than providing adjustable cushioning. The 1/4" port and M10x1.25 male rod thread handle the 175 mm travel efficiently across the 30-800 mm/s speed range.

Where the Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X175CA Is Used
Articulated Gripper Actuation
Uses the CA pivot rear cover to drive a 20 kg robotic gripper assembly through a 175 mm arc, utilising the 402.2 N push force to clamp heavy forged blanks.
Pallet Diverting Arm
Swings a diverter gate on a packaging line, where the compact JIS body saves footprint space and the SUS304 barrel withstands daily washdowns.
Vertical Carton Flap Folder
Folds heavy corrugated carton flaps via a clevis-jointed arm, relying on the fixed TPU bumper pads to absorb the repetitive end-of-stroke impact.
Is the Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X175CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore, compare its 402.2 N push at 0.5 MPa against the smaller MF25 at 245.3 N or the larger MF40 at 628.3 N to match your exact payload. The integrated CA rear pivot cover suits articulated rod-end clevis mounting. Because this base model has no internal magnet, position sensing is impossible on this SKU; order an -S version to use CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. If your mechanism drops air pressure or the valve centres, the piston will drift and drop the load, as the TPU pads only absorb end-stroke impact without locking the rod—install a pilot check valve or external rod lock for secure holding. At 175 mm of travel, ensure the rod-end alignment absorbs lateral stress to prevent bending side-loads.
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 MF32X175CA FAQ
This 32 mm bore double-acting cylinder features a 1/4" 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 force of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU lacks the internal magnet required for switches. You must select the -S variant to mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The unit features a CA pivot back cover and is physically shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving mounting length.
