The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF40X350SCA is a genuine double acting JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 350mm 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 40 mm bore mini cylinder is built around a SUS304 stainless barrel with riveted aluminium covers. The MF40X350SCA includes a piston magnet for position sensing and features a CA pivot back cover for clevis mounting. A two-way oil-retaining seal lubricates the bore for extended cycle life.
Because the JIS-standard round body is physically shorter than a comparable ISO 6432 unit at the same 350 mm stroke, it saves valuable mounting length in tight machinery. Fixed TPU bumper pads and a front-cover anti-impact pad absorb stroke-end shock. Plan for roughly 377 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which means it can safely lift about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a 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.
Uses the 628.3 N thrust at 0.5 MPa to strip empty pallets from a magazine stack, leveraging the CA pivot to accommodate slight angular misalignment.
Swing-arm diverter on a packaging line relying on the 350 mm stroke to redirect heavy cartons, with the DMSG switch confirming the extended position.
Ejects formed metal blanks from a die bed, taking advantage of the SUS304 construction to resist mild washdown and cutting fluid splashes.
When sizing this 40 mm bore, step down to the MF32 if your task only needs 402.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa, as the 40 mm is the largest available MF bore. The integrated -S magnet allows direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic switches. The CA rear pivot cover suits articulated rod-end loads.
Be aware that a standard cylinder drifts if air pressure drops or the valve centers; the internal bumpers only decelerate the stroke end and will not lock the load. Install an external pilot check valve or rod lock if you need fail-safe holding. At 350 mm of travel, verify your rod-end alignment to prevent side-loading and premature seal wear.
Quick checklist
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 air port is 1/4" and the male rod thread is M14x1.5.
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 that is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, but it does not conform to the ISO 6432 standard.
