The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X350SCM is a genuine double acting JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 350mm 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 32 mm bore AirTAC MF cylinder executes a 350 mm stroke via a 1/4 inch pneumatic port. Because the JIS-standard round-body construction is physically shorter than a comparable ISO 6432 unit, it saves valuable mounting length in tight machine fixtures. The SUS304 stainless steel barrel and riveted aluminium covers naturally resist mild corrosion and washdown environments.
The internal piston relies on a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains an oil film for prolonged mechanical life, while fixed TPU bumper pads and a front-cover anti-impact pad absorb the shock at stroke extremes. Plan for roughly 241 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting about 20.5 kg vertically with a safe 2:1 margin. This specific SKU includes a built-in magnet for position sensing and features a CM round-end rear cover.

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.
Actuates a routing flap on a packaging conveyor, using the 402.2 N thrust to push corrugated boxes smoothly onto secondary chutes.
Raises lightweight plastic totes 350 mm between production tiers, safely lifting components weighing up to 20.5 kg against gravity.
Kicks stamped metal blanks out of a die fixture, relying on the SUS304 barrel to withstand occasional cutting fluid splashes.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, stepping down to the MF25 reduces the 0.5 MPa push capacity to 245.3 N, whereas upgrading to the MF40 increases it to 628.3 N. If your process demands the full 350 mm extension, ensure your guiding mechanism handles the rod side-load to prevent premature bending, as longer strokes amplify lateral stress.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder will drift and drop its payload if air pressure is lost or the control valve is centred; the bumpers only soften the end-of-stroke impact rather than locking the rod. For suspended loads, integrate an external pilot-operated check valve or a dedicated rod lock. The integrated -S magnet allows seamless mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and electronic switches.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore double-acting cylinder features a 1/4 inch 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.
The fixed TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end; they do not act as a brake, so the rod will drift if air is lost. For vertical holding, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve. Because this model includes the -S magnet, you can mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches directly for position detection.
