The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF40X300SCM is a genuine double acting JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 300mm 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, this double-acting JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder handles heavy-duty actuation within a compact footprint. Because the MF body is physically shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same 40 mm bore and 300 mm stroke, it drops into tighter machine fixtures without sacrificing power. The SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdown, while the piston's two-way oil-retaining seal maintains a lubricating film for extended cycle life.
For practical sizing, plan your mechanism around a safe working load of roughly 377 N, which leaves a solid margin below the rated 0.5 MPa output. This equates to lifting about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety factor, letting you match the cylinder to real part weights. The -S suffix means a built-in piston magnet is present, allowing you to mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic or reed switches directly for end-of-stroke confirmation.

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 knock stamped metal parts out of a die reliably on every cycle.
Leverages the 300 mm stroke and CM round-end rear pivot to sweep heavy cartons onto a waiting pallet.
Actuates a heavy stainless-steel guide rail to sort filled beverage bottles on a high-speed washdown line.
When sizing this 40 mm bore, look at the adjacent options: step down to the MF32 if your application only requires 402.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa, or step up to this MF40 if you need the full 628.3 N. Since 40 mm is the largest standard MF bore, moving beyond this force class requires a different cylinder family. The CM round-end back cover provides a specific rear pivot geometry for your mounting layout, complementing available LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, and TC trunnion brackets.
Keep in mind that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts if air pressure drops or the valve is centred; the fixed TPU bumper pads only soften the stroke-end impact rather than locking the rod. To suspend a load safely mid-stroke, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your pneumatic circuit. Additionally, with a 300 mm stroke, ensure your mounting configuration supports the rod adequately to prevent side-loading and premature seal wear.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore cylinder features 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 force of 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Built to JIS standards, the MF body is noticeably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder of the same bore and stroke, saving valuable mounting length. It relies on fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate the stroke end rather than an adjustable air cushion, and its SUS304 stainless barrel provides excellent mild corrosion resistance.
