The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X50SCMTC 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 integrates a CM round-end back cover and a TC trunnion mount. The SUS304 stainless steel barrel and riveted aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdown environments, while the piston's two-way seal retains an oil film for extended mechanical life. Because the MF body is shorter than a comparable ISO 6432 unit for the same 32 mm bore and 50 mm stroke, it saves valuable mounting length in tight machinery.
The included -S piston magnet enables direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and electronic switches for position sensing. Fixed TPU bumper pads and a front-cover anti-impact pad work together to soften stroke-end impact, though they decelerate rather than provide adjustable cushioning. For practical actuation at 0.5 MPa, plan for a safe working load of roughly 241 N, which means this actuator lifts about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety 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.
Secures aluminium machining blanks during CNC milling operations, utilising the 402.2 N push force to maintain rigid holding without distorting the part.
Actuates a routing gate on a packaging line to sort boxed goods, taking advantage of the compact JIS body length to fit within narrow transfer gaps.
Pushes completed moulded plastic parts out of an injection moulding tool, safely lifting components weighing up to 20.5 kg against gravity.
When sizing this 32 mm bore actuator, stepping down to the MF25 yields 245.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the MF40 provides 628.3 N, letting you match the exact energy requirements of your fixture. The 1/4" port and M10x1.25 male rod thread are fixed for this bore size. The TC trunnion mount paired with the CM round-end rear cover supplies a pivot axis that accommodates minor misalignment, which is particularly useful for the 50 mm stroke length to avoid side-loading and rod-bending stresses.
Note that a standard double-acting cylinder will drift if air pressure drops or the control valve is centred; the fixed bumpers only soften the end of travel and do not act as a mechanical brake. To suspend a load safely during an air loss event, incorporate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your pneumatic circuit.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4" air 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.
The MF is a JIS-standard round-body cylinder, not an ISO 6432 unit, though its riveted stainless steel body is intentionally shorter than an ISO 6432 equivalent to save space. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. This specific configuration includes a CM round-end back cover and a TC trunnion mount for pivoting.
