Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF40X100SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF40X100SCA is a genuine double acting JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 100mm 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 MF40X100SCA
Delivering 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder handles heavy-duty positioning in tight spaces. The SUS304 stainless-steel barrel and riveted aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdown, while the piston's two-way seal retains an oil film for long mechanical life. For the same 40 mm bore and 100 mm stroke, the MF body is noticeably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, providing a real packaging advantage in dense machinery.
Equipped with a built-in magnet (-S) for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches, this unit also features a CA rear pivot cover. The fixed TPU bumper pads and front-cover anti-impact pad soften stroke-end impact by decelerating the piston, though they do not provide adjustable cushioning. For real-world sizing, plan for about 377 N of usable work at 0.5 MPa, which safely lifts roughly 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF40X100SCA Is Used
Stamping Press Ejection
Uses the 628.3 N push force at 0.5 MPa to knock stamped metal blanks out of a die, relying on the SUS304 barrel to withstand occasional cutting fluid splash.
Heavy Package Diversion
Swings via the CA pivot mount to deflect heavy cartons off a main conveyor belt, benefiting from the compact JIS body length to fit between tight roller gaps.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a robust pneumatic stop for incoming pallets, absorbing the impact via fixed TPU bumper pads while the integrated magnet triggers DMSG sensors for position feedback.
Is the Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF40X100SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 40 mm bore unit, compare its 628.3 N push force at 0.5 MPa against the smaller MF32, which yields 402.2 N. Since 40 mm is the largest available MF bore, moving beyond this capacity requires a different cylinder family entirely. If your fixture demands a shorter stroke, the MF40X75 offers identical thrust in a more compact footprint.
The included CA pivot mount is ideal for angular articulation, but remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air is removed or the valve is centred. The TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end and will not act as a brake. To suspend a load safely mid-cycle, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
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 MF40X100SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it provides 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it provides 879.6 N push and 738.9 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port is 1/4" and the male rod thread is M14x1.5.
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 function as a locking brake. To maintain a vertical load, you must install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
