The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF32X60U is a genuine double acting JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 60mm 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.
Generating 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting 32 mm bore cylinder is built for tight machinery layouts. Because the MF body is physically shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the exact same 60 mm stroke, it drops right into compact assemblies without sacrificing travel. The SUS304 stainless steel barrel and riveted aluminium covers naturally resist mild corrosion and routine washdowns.
This specific U-style unit features a flat-end rear cover and uses a 1/4 inch port paired with an M10x1.25 male rod thread. Fixed TPU bumper pads soften the impact at both stroke ends, while the internal two-way seal retains an oil film for extended mechanical life. Plan for roughly 241 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which safely lifts about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a 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.
Actuates a lightweight routing flap on a packaging conveyor, using the 60 mm stroke to push corrugated boxes onto a secondary belt without stalling.
Secures aluminium extrusions in a CNC machining cell, applying 402.2 N of clamping pressure at 0.5 MPa to hold parts firmly during milling operations.
Raises small steel brackets between processing tiers, safely lifting loads up to 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin before retracting for the next cycle.
If your fixture requires less push, dropping down to the MF25 provides 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the MF40 yields 628.3 N for heavier indexing. The U flat-end back cover mounts flush against stationary frames, and you can pair the body with LB foot brackets or TC trunnion hardware if the pivot geometry changes.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is removed or the control valve centres; the TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end and will not brake a suspended mass. Install a pilot-operated check valve or an external rod lock if the payload must hold position. Because this SKU lacks the S magnet suffix, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches.
Quick checklist
The 32 mm bore generates 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa. Its theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Air is supplied through a 1/4 inch port, and the piston rod features an M10x1.25 male thread.
No, because this specific SKU lacks the S suffix, it has no internal magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the MF32X60US variant for reed or solid-state sensing. The U flat-end rear cover also allows flush mounting against machine frames.
