The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X340SCM is a genuine double acting JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 340mm 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, this double-acting 32 mm bore AirTAC mini cylinder is built around a SUS304 stainless barrel with riveted aluminium covers that resist mild washdown. Because the JIS-standard round body is physically shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder of the same bore and stroke, it saves valuable mounting length in tight machinery. 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 impact.
Air enters through a 1/4" port to drive the 12 mm rod and M10x1.25 male thread over a 340 mm stroke. Plan for roughly 241 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which means it can safely lift about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The built-in magnet allows CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches to track position, and the CM round-end back cover supports pivot mounting.

Actuates a routing flap on a packaging conveyor, using the 340 mm stroke to shift parcels between sorting lanes under the 402.2 N push rating.
Positions a yarn guide bar across a 340 mm width, leveraging the SUS304 stainless construction to endure humid manufacturing environments.
Raises lightweight plastic totes weighing up to 20 kg in an automated storage system, safely managed within the 2:1 vertical lift margin.
If 245.3 N from the smaller MF25 is insufficient for your fixture, this 32 mm bore provides a solid step up without jumping to the 628.3 N MF40. When sizing pneumatically, remember that a standard cylinder drifts if air pressure drops or the valve is centred; the TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end and will not lock the load. For vertical or suspended loads, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The -S magnet enables position sensing, and the CM rear cover suits pivot installations. At 340 mm, ensure your mounting arrangement prevents rod side-loading and bending.
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 of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches, while the CM suffix indicates a round-end rear cover for pivot mounting. It uses fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate the stroke end rather than an adjustable air cushion, and its JIS-standard round body is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder to save mounting space.
