The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X175CM 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.
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore double-acting mini cylinder is built around a SUS304 stainless barrel with riveted aluminium covers. The riveted rolling-packed structure shrinks the overall body length compared to an ISO 6432 unit of the same stroke, freeing up valuable space in tight machinery. Its two-way piston seal retains an oil film for long service life, while fixed TPU pads soften the impact at stroke extremes.
Equipped with a round-end CM back cover, the unit moves a 175 mm stroke through a 1/4" port. Because this specific SKU lacks the internal magnet, it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed switches. For real-world sizing, plan for roughly 241 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting about 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 402.2 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa, with the 175 mm stroke clearing guide rails easily.
Maintains consistent fabric tension via the round-end CM pivot mount, absorbing stroke-end shocks through fixed TPU bumper pads.
Lifts roughly 20.5 kg components vertically during palletizing routines, relying on the SUS304 barrel to resist humid washdown environments.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, the smaller MF25 generates 245.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the MF40 yields 628.3 N. This model sits comfortably in the middle for medium-duty tasks. The 175 mm stroke is well within the 500 mm standard limit, though at this extension you should ensure rigid guiding to prevent rod bending under side loads.
This version features a CM round-end rear cover and uses a 1/4" port. Note that because there is no -S suffix, magnetic sensing is not supported. Furthermore, the fixed bumpers only decelerate the piston near the end caps; they will not hold a load if air pressure drops or the valve is centred. To prevent drifting, install an external rod lock or a pilot check valve.
Quick checklist
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 of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU lacks the internal magnet, so CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches cannot be used. You would need the -S variant for sensing. Additionally, the JIS-standard riveted body is notably shorter than a comparable ISO 6432 cylinder, saving mounting length.
