Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X500SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X500SCM is a genuine double acting JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 500mm 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 MF32X500SCM
Generating 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting AirTAC MF32X500SCM handles long 500 mm traverses with a 32 mm bore. Because this length exceeds the 500 mm standard maximum stroke, it is produced as a non-standard made-to-order unit. The JIS-standard round body is physically shorter than a comparable ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length in tight machinery.
The SUS304 stainless steel barrel and riveted rolling-packed aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. Fixed TPU bumper pads and a front-cover anti-impact pad soften the stroke-end impact, though they decelerate rather than provide adjustable cushioning. The built-in -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches, while the CM round-end back cover simplifies rear pivot mounting. Plan for about 241 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which means it lifts about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X500SCM Is Used
Long-Reach Diverter
Pushes packages across a wide sorting belt using the full 500 mm stroke, relying on the 402.2 N output to redirect heavy cartons without lag.
High-Bay Tray Extraction
Extracts storage trays from deep shelving units, where the SUS304 stainless barrel withstands dusty ambient conditions and the compact body fits tight rack gaps.
Textile Beam Shifting
Transfers heavy fabric beams between processing stations, using the CM round-end back cover for smooth rear pivoting during the lateral transition.
Is the Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X500SCM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore, the smaller MF25 provides 245.3 N and the larger MF40 yields 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa. If your application loses air or centres the valve, the piston drifts and cannot maintain position, as the TPU pads only soften the stroke end rather than locking the rod; integrate an external pilot check valve or rod lock for secure load holding. The 1/4" port and M10x1.25 male rod thread match the bore standard. Because of the extended 500 mm stroke, minimize side-loading to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, and TC trunnion.
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 MF32X500SCM FAQ
This 32 mm bore double-acting cylinder uses a 1/4" 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.
No, the base MF uses fixed TPU bumper pads that decelerate the stroke end but do not offer adjustable air cushioning; for variable cushioning look at the MFC variant. It is a JIS-standard round-body cylinder that is physically shorter than an ISO 6432 unit for the same bore and stroke, but it does not conform to the ISO 6432 standard.
