The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X50SCM is a genuine double acting JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 50mm 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 JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder packs substantial power into a compact footprint. Because the SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers yield a shorter overall body than an ISO 6432 cylinder of the same bore and stroke, it drops easily into tight machinery. The CM round-end rear cover simplifies direct pivot mounting.
The 32 mm bore uses a 1/4" port and a 12 mm rod with an M10x1.25 male thread. Fixed TPU bumper pads and a front-cover anti-impact pad absorb stroke-end shock, while the two-way piston seal retains an oil film for long life. Plan for roughly 241 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to safely lifting about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

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.
Drives 1/4-turn diverter gates in food powder lines, where the SUS304 barrel withstands daily washdown and the 402.2 N output easily swings the stainless flap.
Pivots a sorting arm via the CM round-end mount to push medium cartons off a logistics belt, benefiting from the shorter JIS body to fit within transfer gaps.
Extends a 12 mm rod to intercept pallets on a gravity roller track, safely halting loads up to 20.5 kg using the two-way oil-retaining seal for consistent operation.
This 32 mm bore provides a strong middle ground, stepping up from the MF25 which yields 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa, and sitting below the MF40 at 628.3 N. If your fixture demands exact position holding upon air loss, note that a standard MF relies solely on its fixed bumpers for end-of-stroke deceleration and will drift if a valve is centred; an external rod lock or pilot check valve is required to secure the load.
The built-in -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors for position confirmation. For this 50 mm stroke, side-load stress on the 12 mm rod is minimal, but ensure your pivot mount using the CM rear cover allows free articulation to prevent rod binding.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder features 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 of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet compatible with CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches. For cushioning, the base MF uses fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate the stroke end; you must upgrade to the MFC variant if your high-speed cycle requires an adjustable air cushion.
