The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF40X25SU is a genuine double acting JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 25mm 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 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, the AirTAC MF40X25SU is a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder built for tight machinery layouts. Its SUS304 stainless steel barrel and riveted rolling-packed aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdowns, while the piston's two-way seal retains an oil film for long service life. Because this 40 mm bore body is physically shorter than a comparable ISO 6432 cylinder, it saves valuable mounting length in compact fixtures.
This double-acting actuator uses fixed TPU bumper pads and a front-cover anti-impact pad to decelerate the stroke end, and it carries a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors. With a 25 mm stroke, plan for roughly 377 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which means it can safely lift about 32 kg vertically. The 1/4 inch port and M14x1.5 male rod thread handle the high airflow needed for rapid 30-800 mm/s cycling.

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 at 0.5 MPa to secure heavy cast iron engine blocks during CNC machining operations.
Snaps the 25 mm stroke out rapidly to push heavy cartons off a main logistics belt at high cycling speeds.
Halts loaded pallets on a washdown roller line, relying on the SUS304 barrel to endure humid environments.
When sizing this 40 mm bore unit, step down to the MF32 if your job requires only 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, as no larger MF bore exists for heavier demands. The U flat-end back cover suits direct rear mounting, and the -S magnet allows drop-in position sensing. If your mechanism must maintain vertical position during an air loss or valve centre state, note that the bumper pads only soften impact and will not act as a brake; install an external rod lock or pilot check valve to prevent drift. For this short 25 mm stroke, side-load stress on the 16 mm rod is minimal, keeping guide wear low.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa this 40 mm bore cylinder 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. It uses a 1/4 inch air port.
The fixed TPU bumpers only soften the stroke end and do not lock the piston; you need an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a load vertically. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it accepts CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for position sensing.
