Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X40CA
The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X40CA is a genuine double acting JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 40mm 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 MF32X40CA
Generating 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder handles robust clamping tasks. The SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers resist mild corrosion, while the internal two-way seal retains an oil film for extended mechanical life. A 1/4" port supplies the 12 mm rod for rapid actuation.
Because the riveted rolling-packed structure is physically shorter than a comparable ISO 6432 unit, it saves valuable mounting length in compact fixtures. The fixed TPU bumper pads and front-cover anti-impact pad soften stroke-end impact without offering adjustable cushioning. Plan for roughly 241 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to safely lifting about 20.5 kg vertically against gravity.

Where the Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X40CA Is Used
Articulated Clamping Arm
Uses the CA pivot mount to swing a 20 kg machining fixture into place, utilising the 402.2 N push force to secure the part during milling.
Package Divert Stopper
Deploys the 12 mm rod rapidly to halt medium-weight cartons on a packaging line, where the short 40 mm stroke keeps the footprint minimal.
Welding Gun Positioner
Moves a spot-welding head into position with enough force to compress metal sheets, benefiting from the SUS304 barrel's resistance to weld spatter and washdown.
Is the Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X40CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore, the smaller MF25 provides 245.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the MF40 yields 628.3 N. This model features a CA pivot back cover, ideal for articulated rod-end loads, and can be paired with LB, FA, SDB, or TC mounts. Note that this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, meaning it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors. If you require stroke-end signalling, select the -S variant.
Because the 40 mm stroke is very short, side-load stress on the M10x1.25 rod thread is minimal. Keep in mind that standard double-acting operation will drift if air pressure drops or the valve is centred; the TPU pads only decelerate the stroke end and do not function as a braking lock. To suspend a load safely during an air loss event, integrate an external pilot-operated check valve or a dedicated rod lock.
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 MF32X40CA FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4" port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. At 0.5 MPa it generates 402.2 N of push force and 345.6 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa the push increases to 563 N and the pull to 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
This specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches; you must choose an -S variant for sensing. The CA back cover provides a pivot pin mount, allowing the cylinder body to swing freely during articulation. Fixed TPU bumpers decelerate the stroke ends, but an external rod lock is required to hold a load if air pressure is lost.
