Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X40CM
The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X40CM 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 MF32X40CM
Generating 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting 32 mm bore mini cylinder is built around a SUS304 stainless barrel with riveted aluminium covers. The rolling-packed structure shrinks the overall body length compared to an ISO 6432 unit of identical bore and stroke, freeing up valuable space in dense machinery. A 1/4 inch port feeds the chambers, while fixed TPU bumper pads and a front-cover anti-impact pad absorb stroke-end shock.
The heterogeneous two-way piston seal retains an oil film for extended lifespan, and the round-end CM back cover suits pivot-style installations. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed switches. 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.

Where the Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X40CM Is Used
Short-Stroke Clamping
Secures aluminium extrusions in a CNC machining fixture using its 402.2 N thrust and compact 40 mm stroke.
Carton Flap Folding
Folds corrugated cardboard flaps on a continuous packaging line where the shorter JIS body prevents collision with passing product.
Component Insertion
Presses small bushings into housings on an automated assembly dial table, safely operating within the 241 N working load limit.
Is the Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X40CM the Right Cylinder?
If 245.3 N from the smaller MF25 is insufficient, this 32 mm bore steps up the thrust significantly; should you need even more power, the MF40 provides 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa. With a short 40 mm stroke, side-load stress on the 12 mm rod is minimal, making it ideal for compact clamping. Remember that exhausting air causes the piston to drift, so suspend loads using a pilot-operated check valve rather than relying on the bumper pads. To add position sensing, you must select the -S magnet variant instead of this base model.
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 MF32X40CM FAQ
This 32 mm bore double-acting cylinder uses a 1/4 inch port and generates 402.2 N push / 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 563 N push / 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not have a magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must order the -S variant for sensing. It features a CM round-end back cover and fixed TPU bumper pads rather than an adjustable air cushion.
