The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X25UTC 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 handles robust actuation in tight spaces. It features a SUS304 stainless-steel barrel with riveted aluminium covers. For the same 32 mm bore and 25 mm stroke, the MF body is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length.
The piston relies on a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains an oil film for long life, while fixed TPU bumper pads and a front-cover anti-impact pad soften stroke-end impacts. Plan for roughly 241 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, or lifting about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Air connects via a 1/4 inch port.

| 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.
Drives short-stroke clamping arms on machining fixtures, delivering 402.2 N of push force to hold aluminium housings securely during milling.
Folds corrugated carton flaps on automated packaging lines where the compact JIS body saves mounting length along the conveyor frame.
Ejects moulded plastic parts from press dies, using the fixed TPU bumper pads to absorb the impact at the end of the 25 mm stroke.
If 245.3 N from the MF25 is insufficient and you need the next size up, this 32 mm bore provides 402.2 N at 0.5 MPa; stepping further to the MF40 yields 628.3 N. This SKU includes a U flat-end back cover and uses a TC trunnion mount. Because it lacks the -S suffix, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches.
A plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centred, as the bumpers only decelerate the end of travel rather than locking the rod. To suspend a load securely, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The short 25 mm stroke keeps rod bending minimal, but side loads should still be minimized.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder has a 1/4 inch 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.
No, because this specific SKU lacks the -S suffix, it has no internal magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The -S variant is required for position sensing.
