Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X180CM
The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X180CM is a genuine double acting JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 180mm 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 MF32X180CM
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting 32 mm bore JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder handles demanding mid-range tasks. It features a SUS304 stainless-steel barrel with riveted aluminium covers that resist mild corrosion and washdown. The piston relies on a two-way oil-retaining seal for long life, while fixed TPU bumper pads and a front-cover anti-impact pad soften stroke-end impacts. The 1/4" port and M10x1.25 male rod thread accommodate robust airflow and mounting. For the same 32 mm bore and 180 mm stroke, the MF body is notably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length in compact machinery.
Plan for about 241 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which is roughly 60 percent of its rated push. This translates to lifting about 20.5 kg vertically with a safe two-to-one margin, letting you match real part weights accurately. The rear of this unit features a CM round-end cover. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches.

Where the Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X180CM Is Used
Package Diverting Gate
Swings a sorting flap on a packaging line using 402.2 N of push force to redirect parcels into secondary lanes.
Vertical Parts Lift
Raises lightweight industrial totes weighing up to 20.5 kg between conveyor tiers using a safe two-to-one lifting margin.
Clamp Actuation
Secures aluminium extrusions in a machining fixture, taking advantage of the compact JIS body to fit within tight cell envelopes.
Is the Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X180CM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, compare it directly against its neighbours: the MF25 yields 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa, while the MF40 steps up to 628.3 N. If your fixture demands exact position holding on air loss or valve centring, note that the piston will drift. The bumper pads only decelerate the end of travel and act as neither a brake nor a lock. You must add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve to secure a suspended load. For the 180 mm stroke, ensure your mounting method—whether LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion—supports the rod adequately to prevent side-load 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 MF32X180CM FAQ
This 32 mm bore 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, 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.
No, this specific SKU lacks the internal magnet required for sensing. You must choose the -S variant to use CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. Additionally, its JIS-standard riveted round body is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same stroke, and the fixed TPU bumpers decelerate the stroke end without acting as an adjustable cushion.
