The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF40X50CM is a genuine double acting JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 50mm 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.
Generating up to 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder handles heavy-duty actuation in tight spaces. The 40 mm bore features a 1/4" port and an M14x1.5 male rod thread. Because the riveted rolling-packed SUS304 stainless barrel and aluminium covers are more compact, the overall body is noticeably shorter than a comparable ISO 6432 cylinder for the same 50 mm stroke. This packaging advantage fits tighter machine envelopes without sacrificing power.
The internal piston relies on a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains an oil film for extended lifespan, while fixed TPU bumper pads and a front-cover anti-impact pad absorb stroke-end shocks. Planning for around 377 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa leaves a safe operational margin, which translates to lifting roughly 32 kg vertically against gravity. The rear of the body uses a CM round-end cover, and since this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches.

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.
Provides the robust 628.3 N push force required to knock jammed stamping pins out of a heavy progressive die block.
Swings a heavy steel diverter gate on a packaging line, utilizing the compact JIS body to fit within narrow conveyor framing.
Drives a mechanical arm to fold heavy corrugated carton flaps prior to sealing, benefiting from the oil-retaining two-way seal for long life.
When sizing this 40 mm bore unit, consider the neighbouring MF32 which outputs 402.2 N at 0.5 MPa for lighter jobs; since 40 mm is the largest available MF bore, there is no larger standard option for loads exceeding the 628.3 N push rating. For this 50 mm stroke, side-load and rod-bending stresses are minimal, but always align the load carefully to avoid premature seal wear. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, and TC trunnion brackets to suit various frame designs.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air supply is lost or the directional valve is centred—the fixed bumpers only decelerate the end of travel and do not function as a braking mechanism. If your application requires the load to be held rigidly in place during an air failure, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve in the air lines.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore double-acting cylinder delivers a push force of 628.3 N and a pull force of 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push increases to 879.6 N and the pull to 738.9 N. The theoretical maximum force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features a 1/4" air port and a 16 mm piston rod with an M14x1.5 male thread.
This specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches; you would need the -S variant for sensing. The CM designation indicates a round-end rear cover. Additionally, the fixed TPU bumper pads only soften the stroke end and do not act as an adjustable air cushion.
