The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X425SCM is a genuine double acting JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 425mm 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 handles demanding mid-range automation tasks. The JIS-standard round-body design is physically shorter than a comparable ISO 6432 unit for the same 425 mm stroke, yielding a tangible packaging advantage in tight machine cells. Its SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdown environments, while the internal two-way seal retains an oil film for extended mechanical life.
Equipped with a piston magnet for position sensing, this unit accepts CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches to track the full 425 mm travel. Fixed TPU bumper pads and a front-cover anti-impact pad soften the end-of-stroke impact, though they decelerate rather than provide adjustable cushioning. For practical actuation at 0.5 MPa, plan for roughly 241 N of usable work, which translates to lifting about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The 1/4" port and M10x1.25 male rod thread ensure robust pneumatic and mechanical connections.

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.
Pushes medium-weight packages onto secondary packaging lines using its 402.2 N thrust capacity over a 425 mm reach.
Elevates 20 kg wip pallets between processing tiers, relying on the CMSG sensors to confirm the upper position.
Secures aluminium extrusions in a machining fixture, utilizing the CM round-end cover for self-aligning pivot mounting.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, stepping down to the MF25 yields 245.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, whereas moving up to the MF40 provides 628.3 N. This model strikes a balance for medium payloads, but remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts if air pressure drops or the valve is centred—the bumpers only soften the stroke end and will not brake or hold a suspended load. To maintain vertical position, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The included CM round-end back cover suits rear pivot mounting, and the -S magnet enables solid sensor feedback across the 425 mm stroke. At this extended length, carefully manage side loading to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 402.2 N and the pull force is 345.6 N. At 0.7 MPa, push is 563 N and pull is 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This 32 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/4" air port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread.
It features a SUS304 stainless barrel with riveted aluminium covers, making the JIS-standard body shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same stroke. The CM designation indicates a round-end back cover for pivot mounting. It includes a magnet for sensors but uses fixed TPU bumper pads for deceleration, not adjustable air cushions.
