The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF40X35SU is a genuine double acting JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 35mm 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 tasks within tight fixtures. Because the SUS304 stainless steel barrel and riveted aluminium covers yield a shorter overall body than an ISO 6432 cylinder of the same bore and stroke, it provides a distinct packaging advantage. The 1/4" port and M14x1.5 male rod thread ensure robust airflow for the 40 mm bore.
The piston relies on a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains an oil film for long life, while fixed TPU bumper pads and a front-cover anti-impact pad soften stroke-end impacts. Plan for roughly 377 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which safely lifts about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches, and the flat-end U back cover allows direct rear mounting.

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.
Ideal for driving heavy stamping or crimping heads in compact progressive dies where a 35 mm stroke delivers a fast, high-force impact.
Presses rigid bearings or pins into housings on automated assembly lines, utilizing the 628.3 N thrust to overcome insertion friction.
Secures thick metalwork blocks during machining operations, using the flat-end U cover for stable rear mounting against the machine bed.
If 402.2 N from the MF32 bore is insufficient for your fixture, this 40 mm model provides the necessary step up, representing the largest standard bore in the MF family. For applications requiring a held load during air loss or valve centering, note that the piston will drift; an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required, as the TPU pads only decelerate the stroke end. The 35 mm stroke minimizes rod-bending side loads, making it highly stable for short, heavy presses. Thanks to the -S magnet, you can easily mount position sensors.
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 of 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The JIS-standard riveted SUS304 stainless barrel is physically shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same 40x35 dimensions, saving mounting length. It includes a flat-end U back cover for direct mounting, and the -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensor integration.
