Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X240SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X240SCM is a genuine double acting JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 240mm 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 MF32X240SCM
Generating 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder handles robust actuation tasks. The SUS304 stainless steel barrel and riveted aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdown, while the two-way piston seal retains an oil film for long service life. Because the MF body is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same 32 mm bore and 240 mm stroke, it saves valuable mounting length in tight machinery.
The 1/4" port and M10x1.25 male rod thread provide solid pneumatic and mechanical connections. Fixed TPU bumper pads and a front-cover anti-impact pad soften stroke-end impact by decelerating the motion. Equipped with a piston magnet (-S), it supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches, and the CM round-end back cover offers a specific rear mounting interface. Plan for roughly 241 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which means it can safely lift about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X240SCM Is Used
Package Diverting
Pushes medium-weight cartons off a sorting line using 402.2 N of thrust, fitting neatly into tight transfer gaps thanks to the short JIS body.
Clamp Actuation
Extends 240 mm to drive a clamping arm on a CNC fixture, safely holding parts weighing up to 20.5 kg against machining vibration.
Pallet Stops
Deploys a 12 mm rod to halt pallets on a gravity conveyor, absorbing the impact with fixed TPU pads and a CM round-end rear mount.
Is the Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X240SCM the Right Cylinder?
If 245.3 N from the MF25 is insufficient, this 32 mm bore provides the necessary step up in power before jumping to the 628.3 N MF40 at 0.5 MPa. The 240 mm stroke is well within the 500 mm standard limit, though at this length you should minimize side loads to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear. The included -S magnet enables position sensing with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
Remember that air pressure alone will not maintain the load if supply drops or the valve is centred; the piston will drift. The fixed bumpers only soften the end of travel and act as neither a brake nor a lock. To suspend a load securely, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve in the system.
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 MF32X240SCM FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4" port and delivers 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The riveted SUS304 stainless body is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same stroke, saving space. The CM round-end back cover provides a specific pivot interface, and the built-in magnet allows CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor integration.
