The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF40X115SU is a genuine double acting JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 115mm 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 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting AirTAC MF40X115SU mini cylinder handles heavier duty cycles within a compact footprint. The JIS-standard round body is physically shorter than a comparable ISO 6432 unit, saving valuable mounting length in tight machinery. It features a SUS304 stainless steel barrel with riveted aluminium covers that resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. The 1/4" port feeds the bore, while fixed TPU bumper pads and a front-cover anti-impact pad soften the stroke-end impact.
The piston relies on a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains an oil film for extended mechanical life. For practical sizing, plan for around 377 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which safely lifts about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The included -S magnet enables position sensing with CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches, and the U flat-end back cover provides a flush rear mounting face for direct bolting.

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.
Uses the 628.3 N push force at 0.5 MPa to positively deflect heavy timber pallets onto a secondary packaging line without stalling.
Employs the 115 mm stroke and U flat-end rear cover to tuck heavy corrugated flaps prior to taping, fitting neatly into narrow machine frames.
Leverages the short JIS body length to push metal blanks into a press die, saving axial space while the -S magnet confirms part insertion.
When sizing this 40 mm bore, step down to the MF32 if your task only needs 402.2 N at 0.5 MPa, as 40 mm is the largest available MF bore. If your mechanism must hold a load vertically during an air loss or valve centre, remember this standard cylinder will drift; the TPU pads only decelerate the stroke end and do not act as a brake. You must add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for secure holding. For this 115 mm stroke, ensure your mounting method—such as LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion—adequately supports the rod against side loads to prevent bending.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore double-acting cylinder has a 1/4" port and an M14x1.5 male rod thread. It generates 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 879.6 N push and 738.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the base MF uses fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate the stroke end, not an adjustable air cushion; for variable cushioning look at the MFC variant. It is a JIS-standard round-body cylinder that is physically shorter than an ISO 6432 model, but it does not conform to ISO 6432 mounting standards.
