The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X600CM is a genuine double acting JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 600mm 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 handles substantial work despite its compact footprint. The 600 mm stroke specified here exceeds the 500 mm standard maximum, making it a made-to-order item for applications requiring extended travel. For the same bore and stroke, the SUS304 stainless steel barrel and riveted aluminium covers result in a shorter overall body than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length in tight machinery.
The construction pairs a 1/4" air port with a 12 mm piston rod and M10x1.25 male thread. Because the piston uses a heterogeneous two-way seal with an oil-reservoir function, it maintains a lubricating film for a long service life. Fixed TPU bumper pads and a front-cover anti-impact pad soften the stroke-end impact by decelerating the motion, though they do not provide adjustable cushioning. Plan for a safe working load of roughly 241 N, which is about 60 percent of the 0.5 MPa push rating, to ensure reliable operation. Alternatively, you can expect it to lift about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Uses the 600 mm travel to push large cardboard cartons off a packaging conveyor, leveraging the 402.2 N push force at 0.5 MPa to clear heavy boxes without requiring a multi-stage mechanism.
Lifts components weighing up to 20.5 kg to a second-tier assembly station, where the compact JIS body length saves vertical space compared to an ISO 6432 cylinder of the same stroke.
Opens and closes tall sliding access doors on industrial ovens, relying on the SUS304 stainless barrel to resist mild washdown and the 1/4" port to deliver rapid actuation.
When sizing this actuator, compare its 402.2 N push force at 0.5 MPa against the adjacent bores: the MF25 provides 245.3 N if your load is lighter, while the MF40 offers 628.3 N for heavier demands. Because this 600 mm travel length is a non-standard, made-to-order stroke that exceeds the 500 mm standard maximum, pay close attention to side loads. An extended 12 mm rod is susceptible to bending under lateral forces, so ensure rigid guidance and a true linear load path to prevent premature seal wear. The CM round-end back cover is included for specific rear mounting orientations.
This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, meaning it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic position switches; you will need the -S variant for sensing. Furthermore, a plain double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centred, as the fixed bumpers only decelerate the stroke end and act as neither a lock nor a brake. To suspend a load safely during an air failure, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your circuit.
Quick checklist
The 32 mm bore provides a push force of 402.2 N and a pull force of 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 563 N and pull to 483.8 N, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a 1/4" air port and a 12 mm rod with an M10x1.25 male thread.
This SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches; you must specify the -S variant for position sensing. The CM round-end back cover allows pivot mounting, and the fixed TPU bumper pads decelerate the piston at stroke ends without acting as an adjustable air cushion.
