The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X30SCM 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.
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, the AirTAC MF32X30SCM is a double-acting JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder built for tight machinery. Its SUS304 stainless-steel barrel and riveted aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdowns, while the piston's two-way seal retains an oil film for long service life. The 1/4" air port and M10x1.25 male rod thread handle robust pneumatic flows.
For the same 32 mm bore and 30 mm stroke, this body is physically shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, providing a real packaging win in compact fixtures. Fixed TPU bumper pads and a front-cover anti-impact pad soften stroke-end impact without adjustable cushioning. 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.

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.
Holds aluminium engine housings firmly during CNC milling operations, utilizing the 402.2 N push force to prevent workpiece vibration.
Actuates folding mechanisms on packaging lines to tuck corrugated box flaps, taking advantage of the compact 30 mm stroke to fit narrow conveyor gaps.
Pushes small automotive components off a main conveyor belt into secondary packaging chutes using the integrated CM round-end rear cover for smooth pivoting.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, the smaller MF25 provides 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa, while the larger MF40 steps up to 628.3 N. This model includes a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors, and features a CM round-end back cover suitable for clevis or pivot mounting.
Because the standard bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end, they cannot function as a lock or brake. If air pressure drops, the piston will drift, so you must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold a suspended load safely in place.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4" air 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.
For the same bore and stroke, the JIS-standard MF body is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length. It uses fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate at the stroke end rather than an adjustable air cushion, and its SUS304 stainless barrel provides excellent washdown resistance.
