The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X600SCA 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 within a compact footprint. Because the SUS304 stainless-steel barrel and riveted aluminium covers yield a body shorter than a comparable ISO 6432 unit, you save valuable mounting length on your machinery. The 600 mm stroke specified here exceeds the 500 mm standard maximum, making this a non-standard, made-to-order configuration.
The piston relies on a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains an oil film for prolonged lifespan, while fixed TPU bumper pads and a front-cover anti-impact pad soften end-of-stroke impacts. Equipped with a built-in magnet (-S) and a CA pivot back cover, it accepts CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. For practical sizing, plan for roughly 241 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which equates to lifting about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Air connects via a 1/4" port.

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.
Pushes heavy packaged goods across a transfer section with 402.2 N of force at 0.5 MPa, using the 600 mm travel to clear wide multi-lane conveyor belts.
Actuates a large-format weaving or knitting frame where the CA pivot mount accommodates articulation and the SUS304 barrel withstands humid production environments.
Extracts storage trays from deep racking, leveraging the extended 600 mm stroke while the shorter JIS body saves critical longitudinal space in tight aisles.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, compare it directly against its neighbours: the MF25 provides 245.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa if your load is lighter, while the MF40 steps up to 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 catalog maximum, carefully evaluate side-loading forces to prevent rod bending over such an extended extension. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, and TC trunnion, complementing the CA rear pivot cover.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts if air pressure drops or the valve is centred; the internal bumpers only decelerate the stroke end and do not function as a braking lock. To suspend a load safely in mid-air, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your pneumatic 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 is 563 N and pull is 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Air is supplied through a 1/4" port, and the male rod thread is M10x1.25.
No, the piston will drift if air is lost or the valve is centred; the fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end and do not act as a lock. For vertical holding, use an external rod lock or pilot check valve. Also, this is a non-standard 600 mm stroke (max standard is 500 mm) built to order, and the -S magnet allows CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensor installation.
