The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X250SCMLB is a genuine double acting JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 250mm 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 is built around a SUS304 stainless barrel with riveted aluminium covers. The 1/4" port feeds a two-way oil-retaining piston seal, and fixed TPU bumper pads absorb the stroke-end impact alongside a front-cover anti-impact pad. Because the MF body is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same 32 mm bore and 250 mm stroke, it trims valuable mounting length from tight machine layouts.
For practical sizing, plan for about 241 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which lets you lift a 20.5 kg part vertically with a safe 2:1 margin. The -S suffix equips the piston with a magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches, while the CM round-end back cover and LB foot bracket expand your mounting options.

Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a 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.
Swings a routing gate on a packaging line using 402.2 N of push force to redirect heavy corrugated boxes at high speed.
Raises 20.5 kg fixtures between conveyor tiers with a safe 2:1 margin, capitalizing on the 250 mm stroke and compact JIS body.
Secures aluminium extrusions in a machining cell, using the built-in magnet to confirm clamp position via a DMSG sensor.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, stepping down to the MF25 drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 245.3 N, whereas moving up to the MF40 raises it to 628.3 N. The 250 mm stroke is well within the 500 mm standard limit, but at this extension you must carefully manage side loads to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
The LB foot bracket fixes the body, while the CM round-end back cover accommodates rear pivot mounting. Remember that a plain double-acting cylinder drifts if air pressure drops or the valve centres; the TPU bumpers only soften the end of stroke rather than locking the load. Use an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you need to hold a vertical position securely.
Quick checklist
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, 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
It is a JIS-standard round-body cylinder with a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted rolling-packed covers, making the overall body shorter than an ISO 6432 unit for the same stroke. It includes a CM round-end back cover, an LB foot bracket, and fixed TPU bumper pads that decelerate the piston rather than providing adjustable air cushioning.
