Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X260SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X260SCM 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 MF32X260SCM
Generating 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting AirTAC MF32X260SCM mini cylinder features a 32 mm bore and a 260 mm stroke. Its JIS-standard round-body construction integrates a SUS304 stainless steel barrel with riveted aluminium covers, yielding a total footprint that is noticeably shorter than a comparable ISO 6432 unit to save valuable mounting length. The internal piston relies on a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains an oil film for prolonged operational life.
Equipped with a built-in magnet (-S) and a CM round-end rear cover, the unit accepts CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and electronic switches for position detection. Fixed TPU bumper pads and a front-cover anti-impact pad work together to soften stroke-end impacts without offering adjustable cushioning. For practical sizing, plan for roughly 241 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The 1/4" port and M10x1.25 male rod thread accommodate robust pneumatic flow for speeds of 30-800 mm/s.

Where the Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X260SCM Is Used
Package Diverting
Pushes medium-weight cartons off a sorting line using 402.2 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa, with the 260 mm stroke clearing guide rails easily.
Pallet Handling
Extends to 260 mm to push pallets into a wrapping station, leveraging the CM round-end cover for flexible rear pivot mounting.
Clamp Actuation
Secures aluminium extrusions during a cutting process, safely applying about 241 N of working force while the -S magnet confirms clamp position.
Is the Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X260SCM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore actuator, evaluate your force requirements carefully: if 402.2 N at 0.5 MPa is excessive, the smaller MF25 provides 245.3 N, while stepping up to the MF40 yields 628.3 N for heavier payloads. Because this is a 260 mm stroke, ensure your mounting configuration—whether LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion—adequately supports the rod against side loads to prevent premature bending and seal wear.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder will drift if air pressure drops or the control valve is centred; the fixed bumpers only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends and do not function as a braking mechanism. To suspend a load safely during an emergency stop or air loss, integrate an external pilot-operated check valve or a dedicated rod lock valve into your pneumatic circuit.
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 MF32X260SCM FAQ
The 32 mm bore provides a push force of 402.2 N and a pull force of 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, push is 563 N and pull is 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a 1/4" air port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread.
Yes to the sensor, no to the cushion. The -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet, allowing you to mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for detection. However, the MF series uses fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate the stroke end; it does not have an adjustable air cushion (you would need the MFC variant for that).
