The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X30CM is a genuine double acting JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 30mm 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. The SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdown, while the piston's two-way seal retains an oil film for extended lifespan. A 1/4" port and M10x1.25 male rod thread accommodate steady airflow for the 12 mm rod.
For the same 32 mm bore and 30 mm stroke, the MF body is notably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, delivering a real packaging win in dense machinery. Plan for roughly 241 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which means it lifts about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Fixed TPU bumper pads and a front-cover anti-impact pad soften stroke-end impact without offering adjustable cushioning.

| 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 machining clamps delivering 402.2 N at 0.5 MPa to secure aluminium housings during milling operations.
Folds corrugated cardboard flaps on continuous packaging lines where the compact JIS body length prevents interference with passing conveyor goods.
Presses small bushings into die-cast enclosures, utilising the 30 mm stroke and fixed TPU bumper pads to absorb the assembly impact.
If 245.3 N from the MF25 at 0.5 MPa is insufficient, this 32 mm bore provides the necessary step up before jumping to the 628.3 N MF40. The 30 mm stroke keeps the assembly extremely compact, but always verify that your load is guided to prevent rod bending. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches.
The included CM round-end back cover suits pivot mounting, and you can pair the body with LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion brackets. Note that a standard cylinder drifts if air pressure drops or the valve is centred; the bumpers only decelerate the stroke end and will not lock the load. Use an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you need to hold a vertical load safely in place.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4" 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 force of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for sensing. It features a CM round-end back cover and a SUS304 stainless barrel that is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same bore and stroke.
