Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X230SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X230SCA is a genuine double acting JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 230mm 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 MF32X230SCA
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder integrates a 32 mm bore and 230 mm stroke. Its SUS304 stainless steel barrel and riveted aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. The piston relies on a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains an oil film for extended mechanical life.
For the same bore and stroke, the MF body is notably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, providing a tangible packaging advantage in tight fixtures. The unit includes fixed TPU bumper pads and a front-cover anti-impact pad to soften stroke-end impact. 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. This specific SKU features a built-in magnet for position sensing and a CA pivot back cover.

Where the Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X230SCA Is Used
Pallet Diverting Gate
Actuates a routing flap on a 230 mm stroke to redirect packaged goods on a packaging line, utilizing the 402.2 N push force to overcome guide friction.
CNC Tool Tray Ejector
Pushes a loaded tool tray out of an enclosed machining center using the CA pivot mount to accommodate angular misalignment during extension.
Vertical Carton Flap Folder
Deploys downward to fold heavy cardboard flaps on a case erector, reliably lifting or pushing around 20 kg of mechanical resistance.
Is the Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X230SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, the adjacent MF25 bore provides 245.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, while the larger MF40 yields 628.3 N. If your fixture requires absolute load holding upon air loss or valve centering, note that a standard cylinder will drift; the bumpers only decelerate the end of stroke and act as neither a brake nor a lock. You must incorporate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve for secure positioning.
This configuration includes the -S magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches, alongside the CA rear pivot cover. With a 230 mm stroke, ensure your mounting arrangement—whether LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion—prevents excessive side loading to avoid rod bending and premature seal wear.
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 MF32X230SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa this 32 mm bore cylinder pushes with 402.2 N and pulls with 345.6 N. At 0.7 MPa the push is 563 N and pull is 483.8 N, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port is 1/4", the male rod thread is M10x1.25, and the piston rod diameter is 12 mm.
Yes to the sensor; the -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet compatible with CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches. Regarding cushioning, this base MF model uses fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate the stroke end and does not feature an adjustable air cushion. For adjustable cushioning, look at the MFC variant.
