The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF40X60SCATC is a genuine double acting JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 60mm 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 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder handles heavy-duty positioning within tight machine envelopes. The SUS304 stainless steel barrel and riveted aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdown, while the internal two-way seal retains an oil film for extended mechanical life. Because the MF body is physically shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same 40 mm bore and 60 mm stroke, it saves valuable mounting length in compact fixtures.
The piston travels on fixed TPU bumper pads and a front-cover anti-impact pad that decelerate the stroke end without offering adjustable cushioning. Fitted from the factory with a piston magnet (-S) for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches, it arrives configured with a CA pivot back cover and a TC trunnion mount. Plan for roughly 377 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting about 32 kg vertically with a safe 2:1 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.
Drives a 32 kg bearing housing into a machined jig using the full 628.3 N thrust at 0.5 MPa.
Actuates a heavy routing flap on a packaging line where the compact JIS body clears tight frame gaps.
Pushes corrugated carton flaps shut, relying on the TC trunnion to accommodate the pivot arc.
At the top of the MF range, this 40 mm bore leaves no larger standard option; if your application only requires 402.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa, step down to the MF32 to save space and air volume. The TC trunnion and CA pivot combination suits pivoting loads, but verify your side-load geometry to prevent rod bending over the 60 mm stroke. The integrated -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors for position detection.
Note that the fixed TPU bumpers only soften end-of-stroke impacts; they do not function as a lock. If air pressure drops or the valve is centred, the piston will drift and drop the load. To maintain vertical position under load loss, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/4" air port and an M14x1.5 male rod thread. At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 628.3 N and pulls with 527.8 N. 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.
The MF does not conform to ISO 6432, though its riveted round-body stainless build is intentionally shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder to save mounting length. This specific SKU includes a -S magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches, and uses a CA pivot back cover with a TC trunnion mount rather than standard ISO brackets.
