Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X55SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X55SCA is a genuine double acting JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 55mm 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 MF32X55SCA
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting 32 mm bore mini cylinder handles substantial work in a compact footprint. Because the JIS-standard riveted SUS304 stainless body is physically shorter than a comparable ISO 6432 unit, it saves valuable mounting length in tight machinery. The rolling-packed aluminium covers and two-way oil-retaining piston seal ensure reliable operation even in mild washdown environments.
The integrated piston magnet allows direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for position feedback, while the CA rear pivot simplifies angular mounting. Fixed TPU bumper pads soften end-of-stroke impact without the tuning hassle of an adjustable cushion. For practical actuation at 0.5 MPa, plan for a safe working load of roughly 241 N, which means it can comfortably lift a 20.5 kg part vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X55SCA Is Used
CNC Fixture Clamping
Provides 402.2 N of secure clamping force at 0.5 MPa to hold medium aluminium housings during machining, using the CA pivot to accommodate slight misalignment.
Package Diverting Arm
Swings a diverter gate on a packaging line with a fast 55 mm stroke, relying on the SUS304 stainless barrel to resist humid washdown environments.
Vertical Parts Lift
Raises 20 kg component trays between conveyor tiers, safely operating within the cylinder's 2:1 vertical lift margin using position feedback from a DMSG sensor.
Is the Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X55SCA the Right Cylinder?
This 32 mm bore strikes a balance between the lighter MF25 (245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa) and the heavier MF40 (628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa), making it ideal for medium-force clamping and lifting. The 55 mm stroke keeps the rod short and rigid, minimizing side-load bending risks. It features a 1/4" port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread.
Note that the fixed TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end; they do not function as a brake. If air pressure drops or the valve is centered, the piston will drift and cannot hold a suspended load. To maintain vertical position, install an external pilot-operated check valve or a dedicated rod lock.
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 MF32X55SCA FAQ
This 32 mm bore double-acting cylinder features a 1/4" air port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. It generates 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The JIS round-body design is physically shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder of the same bore and stroke, saving mounting space. The included CA rear pivot allows the cylinder to swing freely during articulation. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you can attach CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches directly for end-of-stroke detection.
