Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X180SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X180SCA 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 MF32X180SCA
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder is built for tight machinery. Because the SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers form a shorter overall body than an ISO 6432 unit of the same bore and stroke, it slots neatly into compact fixtures. The 1/4" port drives a 12 mm piston rod, while fixed TPU bumper pads soften the stroke-end impact.
The internal two-way seal retains an oil film for extended mechanical life, and the front cover includes an anti-impact pad. With the -S magnet fitted, you can mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors directly for position detection. Plan for roughly 241 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting about 20.5 kg vertically with a safe 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X180SCA Is Used
Package Diverting Arm
Pushes light cardboard cartons on a packaging line using 402.2 N of thrust, while the 180 mm stroke clears the belt completely during retraction.
Clamp Actuator
Secures aluminium extrusions for a CNC machining center, taking advantage of the JIS compact body to fit between spindle guards.
Vertical Parts Lift
Raises small steel brackets weighing up to 20.5 kg out of a vibratory bowl feeder, relying on the -S magnet to confirm the top position.
Is the Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X180SCA the Right Cylinder?
If 245.3 N from the MF25 bore is insufficient, this 32 mm model steps up the thrust to 402.2 N at 0.5 MPa; should you need more power, the MF40 pushes 628.3 N. The 180 mm stroke is well within the 500 mm standard limit, but at this length you should support the load to prevent rod bending and side-load wear. The CA pivot back cover suits articulated rod-end connections.
Because the fixed TPU pads only decelerate the piston near the stroke end, they cannot act as a brake. If air pressure drops or the valve centres, the rod will drift downward. To lock a suspended load securely in place, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
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 MF32X180SCA FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4" air 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, the fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the piston at the stroke end and do not function as a lock. If air pressure is lost, the rod will drift. You must add an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended load. The CA back cover provides a pivot mount, and the -S magnet allows CMSG or DMSG sensors to track position.
