The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF40X125SCASDB is a genuine double acting JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 125mm 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 JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder handles heavy-duty positioning tasks. The SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted rolling-packed aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdown, while the piston's two-way seal retains an oil film for extended operational life. A 1/4" port supplies the 40 mm bore.
Because the MF body is physically shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same 125 mm stroke, it saves valuable mounting length in tight fixtures. Fixed TPU bumper pads and a front-cover anti-impact pad soften stroke-end impact by decelerating the motion. Plan for about 377 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which means it lifts roughly 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 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.
Pushes heavy stamped metal parts out of a die using 628.3 N of force at 0.5 MPa, with the SDB pivot block absorbing angular rod stress.
Swings a heavy diverter gate on a packaging line, where the compact JIS body saves mounting length and the CA pivot cover allows smooth rotation.
Raises a 32 kg workpiece fixture vertically, relying on the SUS304 stainless barrel to endure occasional washdown in logistics hubs.
For lighter jobs requiring only 402.2 N at 0.5 MPa, step down to the 32 mm bore; since 40 mm is the largest MF size, moving up requires a different cylinder family. This SKU includes the -S magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors, and ships with the SDB pivot-block plus a CA rear pivot cover. If your mechanism loses air or the valve centres, the piston will drift, as the TPU pads only decelerate the end of the stroke rather than locking the load. To hold a vertical position securely, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
The 40 mm bore uses a 1/4" port and a M14x1.5 male rod thread. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 628.3 N and pulls 527.8 N. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 879.6 N and pulls 738.9 N. The theoretical maximum force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The MF is JIS-standard and does not conform to ISO 6432, though its body is deliberately shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder to save space. It uses fixed TPU bumper pads that decelerate the stroke end rather than an adjustable air cushion. The included -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches to be fitted.
