The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF40X70SU 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 40 mm bore double-acting actuator handles heavy-duty positioning in tight spaces. Its JIS-standard round body is physically shorter than a comparable ISO 6432 cylinder for the same 70 mm stroke, giving you a tangible packaging advantage. The SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdown environments.
The internal piston relies on a two-way oil-retaining seal to maintain lubrication for long service life, while fixed TPU bumper pads and a front-cover anti-impact pad soften stroke-end impacts. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors for position detection. Plan for roughly 377 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which translates to lifting about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The unit features a 1/4 inch port, an M14x1.5 male rod thread, and a U flat-end back cover.

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.
Uses the 628.3 N push force to knock stamped metal blanks out of a die reliably before the press opens.
Pushes dense cartons across a transfer lane using the U flat-end back cover for stable rear mounting.
Acts as a high-force pneumatic stop for loaded pallets, safely halting movement via fixed TPU bumper pads.
When sizing this 40 mm bore unit, consider the neighbouring MF32 which provides 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa if your payload is lighter. Since 40 mm is the largest standard MF bore, exceeding this capacity requires moving to a different cylinder family. The integrated -S magnet allows direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches without external hardware.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts if air pressure drops or the valve is centred; the TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end and act as neither a brake nor a lock. If your application requires vertical position holding, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. For this 70 mm stroke, side-load and rod-bending stresses remain minimal, but always ensure rigid alignment to prevent premature seal wear.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4 inch 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 force is 879.6 N and the pull force is 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 40 mm bore and 70 mm stroke, saving valuable machine length. It uses a SUS304 stainless barrel with riveted aluminium covers. The U flat-end back cover provides a flush rear mounting surface, and the included -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensor switches.
