The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X225SCM is a genuine double acting JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 225mm 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 double-acting JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder features a SUS304 stainless barrel with riveted aluminium covers. Because the MF body is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same 32 mm bore and 225 mm stroke, it saves valuable mounting length in tight machinery. The internal piston magnet allows direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for position sensing.
The riveted rolling-packed structure shrugs off mild corrosion and washdown, while the piston's two-way seal retains an oil film for long service life. Fixed TPU bumper pads and a front-cover anti-impact pad soften stroke-end impacts. For practical sizing, plan for about 241 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting roughly 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 the 402.2 N push force at 0.5 MPa, with the CM rear cover allowing pivot alignment.
Secures aluminium extrusions in a machining fixture, where the compact JIS body saves mounting length compared to ISO 6432 units.
Raises light access doors weighing up to 20.5 kg, relying on the built-in magnet for DMSG position feedback.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, stepping down to the MF25 yields 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the MF40 provides 628.3 N. This model includes a CM round-end back cover and a 1/4" port. Because this SKU has the -S suffix, it is ready for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. At 225 mm of travel, minimize side loads to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
Note that a standard double-acting cylinder will drift if air pressure drops or the valve is centred; the bumpers only decelerate the stroke end and do not act as a brake. To suspend a load safely, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder has a 1/4" port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. The thrust is 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.
It uses fixed TPU bumper pads that decelerate the piston at the stroke ends, but these are not adjustable air cushions. The CM designation indicates a round-end back cover. The JIS-standard body is physically shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder of the same bore and stroke.
