The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF40X70SCM is a genuine double acting JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 70mm 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 double-acting 40 mm bore mini cylinder is built around a SUS304 stainless barrel with riveted aluminium covers. The rolling-packed structure resists mild corrosion and washdown, while the two-way piston seal retains an oil film for long service life. A 1/4" port supplies the 16 mm rod, and fixed TPU bumper pads soften the stroke-end impact.
Because the JIS-standard body is physically shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same 70 mm stroke, it fits tighter fixtures without sacrificing power. Plan for roughly 377 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, or use it to lift about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The built-in magnet enables CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches, and the CM round-end back cover simplifies rear pivot mounting.

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 heavy cardboard cartons across a sorting belt using 628.3 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa without stalling under friction.
Seats bronze bushings into aluminium housings on an assembly line, using the 70 mm stroke and fixed TPU pads to absorb the end impact.
Acts as a heavy-duty stopper for loaded pallets entering a stretch wrapper, holding position with a CMSG sensor via the internal magnet.
At 0.5 MPa this 40 mm bore generates 628.3 N of push and 527.8 N of pull. If your fixture is overworked, the smaller MF32 provides 402.2 N of push; since 40 mm is the largest available MF bore, upgrading beyond 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa requires switching to a different series. The 1/4" port and M14x1.5 male rod thread are fixed for this size.
The standard bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end and do not act as a brake. If air pressure drops, the piston will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for suspended loads. The -S magnet allows position sensing, and the CM back cover suits articulated rear pivot installations.
Quick checklist
The 40 mm bore has a 1/4" port and a 16 mm rod. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 628.3 N and pulls 527.8 N. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 879.6 N and pulls 738.9 N. The theoretical maximum force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The JIS-standard round body is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same 70 mm stroke, saving mounting length. It uses fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate the stroke end rather than an adjustable air cushion, and the SUS304 stainless barrel resists mild washdown.
