The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X25SU is a genuine double acting JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 25mm 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.
Generating 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder is built for tight machinery layouts. Because its riveted SUS304 stainless barrel and aluminium covers are shorter than a comparable ISO 6432 unit for the same 25 mm stroke, it saves valuable mounting length. The 1/4" port feeds a piston with a two-way oil-retaining seal for long life.
The fixed TPU bumper pads and front-cover anti-impact pad soften stroke-end impacts without offering adjustable cushioning. For practical sizing, plan for a safe working load of roughly 241 N, which means it can vertically lift about 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches.

| 0.5 MPa | 402 N | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | 484 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 82 kgf | |
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.
Ideal for locking small aluminium castings in CNC machining centres, utilising the 25 mm stroke and 402.2 N force to secure parts firmly against a stop.
Presses connectors into printed circuit boards with precise 25 mm travel, relying on the compact JIS body to fit densely packed assembly machinery.
Drives a short folding arm on a carton erector, where the SUS304 stainless barrel withstands mild washdown during packaging line cleaning.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, stepping down to an MF25 yields 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to an MF40 provides 628.3 N. This model includes the U flat-end back cover, giving a flush rear mounting face for direct attachment to fixtures. If your process requires position feedback, the -S magnet is already equipped for reed or electronic sensors.
Note that a standard double-acting cylinder will drift and cannot hold a load if air pressure drops or the valve is centred; the bumpers only decelerate the stroke end rather than acting as a brake. To suspend a load safely, incorporate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your pneumatic circuit.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it provides 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it provides 563 N push and 483.8 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port size is 1/4".
No, it is a JIS-standard round-body cylinder. However, for the same 32 mm bore and 25 mm stroke, the MF body is physically shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, which saves mounting space. It features a U flat-end back cover and fixed TPU bumper pads rather than an adjustable air cushion.
