Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X280SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X280SCM is a genuine double acting JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 280mm 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 MF32X280SCM
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder integrates a SUS304 stainless steel barrel with riveted aluminium covers to resist mild corrosion and washdown. The piston relies on a two-way oil-retaining seal for long life, while fixed TPU bumper pads and a front-cover anti-impact pad soften stroke-end impacts. Because the MF body is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same 32 mm bore and 280 mm stroke, it saves valuable mounting length in tight fixtures.
Fitted with a 1/4" port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread, the unit operates at 30-800 mm/s. Plan for about 241 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which means it lifts about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches, and the CM round-end back cover suits pivot installations.

Where the Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X280SCM Is Used
Package Diverting
Actuates diverter arms on packaging lines where the 402.2 N push force easily redirects heavy cartons.
Pallet Handling
Pushes pallets into staging zones using the CM round-end cover to accommodate slight pivot misalignments.
Clamp Actuation
Secures aluminium extrusions during machining, utilizing the 280 mm stroke to clear the work area fully.
Is the Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X280SCM the Right Cylinder?
If 245.3 N from the MF25 is insufficient, this 32 mm bore provides a solid step up; should you need even more thrust, the MF40 offers 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa. The fixed TPU bumpers only decelerate the piston near the stroke end and do not function as a brake. If your application must prevent drift upon air loss or valve centering, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. At 280 mm, verify side loading to avoid rod bending, and use the -S magnet for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensor placement.
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 MF32X280SCM FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4" port and an M10x1.25 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.
The JIS-standard riveted round body is physically shorter than a comparable ISO 6432 cylinder, saving mounting length. It uses fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate at stroke ends rather than an adjustable air cushion, and the -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors to track position.
