The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF40X60UTC 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.
Delivering 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this 40 mm bore double-acting actuator handles demanding clamping and lifting tasks. The JIS-standard round-body design is physically shorter than a comparable ISO 6432 cylinder for the same 60 mm stroke, yielding a tighter footprint in crowded machinery. Its SUS304 stainless steel barrel and riveted aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdown environments.
Because the piston employs a heterogeneous two-way seal with an oil-reservoir function, internal lubrication is maintained for a long service life. Fixed TPU bumper pads at both ends soften the stroke-end impact, though they decelerate rather than provide adjustable cushioning. Plan for a real working load of roughly 377 N, which safely lifts about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.

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.
Pushes formed metal blanks out of a die using the full 879.6 N available at 0.7 MPa, ensuring reliable part release in high-speed stamping lines.
Actuates a pivoting routing gate via the TC trunnion mount to deflect heavier cartons onto a secondary packing conveyor.
Deploys a 60 mm stroke mechanical stop to halt loaded pallets at a workstation, utilizing the compact JIS body length to fit within tight frame gaps.
When sizing this 40 mm bore actuator, verify your actual load requirements against the 628.3 N push force at 0.5 MPa. If your application is lighter, stepping down to the 32 mm bore reduces the footprint while still providing 402.2 N of push force. As 40 mm is the largest available bore in the MF series, heavier demands beyond this capacity will require a different cylinder family entirely.
This model features a U flat-end back cover and uses a TC trunnion mount, which accommodates pivoting loads. Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centred; the bumpers only soften the end of stroke and will not act as a brake. To suspend a load safely during an air loss event, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your circuit.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore cylinder has 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, increasing to 879.6 N push and 738.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet option, so it cannot accommodate CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches. You would need the -S variant for position sensing. The unit features a SUS304 stainless barrel and fixed TPU bumper pads rather than an adjustable air cushion.
