Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X260SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X260SCA is a genuine double acting JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 260mm 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 MF32X260SCA
Generating 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting 32 mm bore unit handles substantial work within a compact footprint. Because the JIS-standard round-body design is physically shorter than a comparable ISO 6432 cylinder, it saves valuable mounting length in tight machinery. The SUS304 stainless steel barrel and riveted aluminium covers resist mild corrosion, while the piston's two-way seal retains an oil film for extended lifespan.
Equipped with a built-in magnet for position sensing, this model accepts CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. It breathes through a 1/4 inch port and features fixed TPU bumper pads that soften stroke-end impact. For practical sizing, plan for about 241 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which means it can safely lift a 20.5 kg vertical load with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X260SCA Is Used
Package Diverting Arm
Swings a sorting gate on a logistics conveyor, using the 260 mm stroke to redirect parcels into secondary packing lanes.
CNC Lathe Door Actuator
Slides a heavy machine tool safety enclosure open and closed, benefiting from the compact JIS body to fit within the machine base.
Pallet Component Pusher
Shoves corrugated cardboard blanks into a stacking fixture, utilising the 402.2 N thrust to overcome material friction.
Is the Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X260SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore, stepping down to an MF25 yields 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to an MF40 provides 628.3 N. This 260 mm stroke is well within the 500 mm standard limit, but longer rods demand careful alignment to prevent side-loading and premature seal wear. The CA pivot back cover is ideal for articulating rod-end loads.
Note that a standard cylinder drifts when air is removed or a valve is centred; the bumpers only decelerate the stroke end and do not act as a brake. To suspend a load safely, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
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 MF32X260SCA FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder features 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, increasing to 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet compatible with CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG reed or electronic switches. The CA back cover provides a rear pivot mount, allowing the cylinder body to swing during articulating motion.
