Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF40X600U
The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF40X600U is a genuine double acting JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 600mm 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 MF40X600U
Generating 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting 40 mm bore cylinder handles heavy-duty actuation across its 600 mm travel. Because 600 mm exceeds the 500 mm standard stroke limit, this specific U-flat-end configuration is produced as a made-to-order unit. The JIS-standard round-body architecture is physically shorter than a comparable ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length in tight machinery.
Built with a SUS304 stainless-steel barrel and riveted aluminium covers, the structure naturally resists mild corrosion and washdown environments. Fixed TPU bumper pads and a front-cover anti-impact pad soften the end-of-stroke impact, though they decelerate rather than provide adjustable cushioning. For practical sizing, plan for a safe working load of roughly 377 N, which easily lifts about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Note that this SKU lacks a magnet and cannot host position sensors.

Where the Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF40X600U Is Used
Pallet Diverting Gate
Shifts heavy timber pallets sideways on a packaging line using the full 628.3 N push force at 0.5 MPa across the 600 mm travel distance.
Vertical Carton Pusher
Ejects stacked corrugated cartons from a high-speed sorting platform, utilising the U flat-end cover for flush rear mounting against the machine frame.
Textile Beam Loader
Advances heavy textile rollers into a winding machine, where the SUS304 stainless barrel withstands humid dye-house conditions.
Is the Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF40X600U the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 40 mm bore unit, verify your actual load requirements against the available thrust. If you need less force, stepping down to the MF32 bore provides 402.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa; since 40 mm is the largest available MF bore, any requirement exceeding this class necessitates a different cylinder family entirely. Operating on a 1/4" port with a 16 mm rod, this model is built for substantial work.
With a 600 mm travel distance, carefully evaluate side loading to prevent rod bending over the extended length. This variant features a U flat-end back cover and operates without a magnet, meaning CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches cannot be fitted to this specific SKU. Furthermore, a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air is removed or a valve is centered, so integrate an external rod lock or pilot check valve if your application requires load holding.
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 MF40X600U FAQ
This 40 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4" air port and a 16 mm piston rod. 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.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches cannot be used. You would need the -S variant for sensing. The unit features a U flat-end back cover and fixed TPU bumper pads that decelerate the stroke end without adjustable cushioning.
