Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X175SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X175SCA 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 MF32X175SCA
Generating 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder pairs a SUS304 stainless steel barrel with riveted aluminium covers to resist mild washdown. The 32 mm bore uses a 1/4" port and a 12 mm rod, while the piston relies on a two-way oil-retaining seal for long service life. Because the MF body is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same 175 mm stroke, it drops neatly into tighter machine fixtures.
Fixed TPU bumper pads and a front-cover anti-impact pad soften the stroke-end impact without offering adjustable cushioning. Plan for roughly 241 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The built-in -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches, and the CA rear pivot cover simplifies articulated rod-end mounting.

Where the Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X175SCA Is Used
Package Diverter Arm
Swings a sorting gate on a packaging line using the CA rear pivot, relying on the 402.2 N push force to snap 175 mm out and reroute cardboard cartons.
CNC Lathe Door Actuator
Opens and closes a sliding machine tool safety door, where the shorter JIS body saves valuable mounting length compared to an ISO 6432 cylinder.
Pallet Stacking Pusher
Indexes lightweight pallets forward on a roller conveyor, safely moving roughly 20.5 kg of vertical equivalent mass during the 175 mm extension cycle.
Is the Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X175SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore, the smaller MF25 yields 245.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the MF40 provides 628.3 N. If your process drops air or centres the valve, the piston will drift and the bumpers only decelerate the end of travel, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for any load that must stay suspended. The 175 mm stroke is well within the 500 mm standard limit, but at this length you should still guide the tooling to prevent rod bending under side loads. With the CA pivot installed, ensure the mating clevis clears the rear swing arc.
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 MF32X175SCA FAQ
This 32 mm bore double-acting cylinder uses a 1/4" port. 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.
The -S suffix means a magnet is built in for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. The fixed TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end and do not act as a brake; the piston will drift if air is lost, so use an external rod lock to hold a suspended load.
