Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF40X500SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF40X500SCA is a genuine double acting JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 500mm 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.

About the Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF40X500SCA
Delivering 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder handles heavy-duty automation with a 500 mm stroke. The SUS304 stainless steel barrel and riveted aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdown, while the piston's two-way seal retains an oil film for long service life. For the same bore and stroke, the MF body is notably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length in tight machinery.
Equipped with a built-in magnet for position sensing, this unit accepts CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. Fixed TPU bumper pads and a front-cover anti-impact pad soften stroke-end impact by decelerating the piston. For practical sizing, 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. The 1/4" port and M14x1.5 male rod thread ensure robust airflow and mounting for this 40 mm bore class.

Where the Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF40X500SCA Is Used
Pallet Dispenser Pusher
Drives empty pallets into a loading zone using the full 628.3 N push force, where the 500 mm stroke easily spans the required conveyor offset.
Material Drop Actuator
Lowers heavy feed hoppers weighing up to 32 kg, relying on the CA pivot back cover to absorb angular misalignment during the downward cycle.
Divert Gate Operator
Swings a sorting diverter arm across a packaging line, using the built-in magnet and DMSG switches to confirm gate position at each stroke end.
Is the Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF40X500SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 40 mm bore unit, stepping down to the MF32 yields 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, whereas the MF40 is the largest available in the series, making it the top choice for maximum thrust within this JIS family. If your application requires holding a load vertically during air loss or valve centering, note that the piston will drift; the bumpers only decelerate the stroke end and do not act as a brake. An external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for secure position holding.
This specific configuration includes a CA pivot back cover for articulated mounting and an integrated magnet for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. Because it operates at the 500 mm maximum standard stroke limit, ensure your mounting arrangement—such as an FA flange or TC trunnion—adequately supports the rod against side loads to prevent bending over that extended distance.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G / NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check Use correct back cover (CA/U/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF40X500SCA FAQ
This 40 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4" air 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.
The MF is a JIS-standard round-body cylinder that is physically shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same bore and stroke, saving mounting space, but it does not conform to ISO 6432 standards. Additionally, the fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end; they do not lock or hold the load if air pressure is lost, so an external rod lock is needed for position holding.
