The AirTAC Airtac MF32-40 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF40X80SU is a genuine double acting JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 80mm 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 up to 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, the AirTAC MF40X80SU is a robust 40 mm bore double-acting JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder. Because its riveted rolling-packed structure is inherently shorter than a comparable ISO 6432 unit for the same 80 mm stroke, it delivers a tangible packaging advantage in tight machinery frames. The SUS304 stainless barrel paired with aluminium covers naturally resists mild corrosion and washdown environments.
The internal piston relies on a heterogeneous two-way seal that retains an oil film for prolonged lifespan, while fixed TPU bumper pads and a front-cover anti-impact pad work together to soften end-of-stroke impacts. Thanks to the integrated magnet, this -S variant supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors for position detection. For practical sizing, anticipate a safe working load of roughly 377 N, which translates to lifting about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety 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.
Provides the robust 628.3 N push force required to positively eject dense plastic parts from an injection moulding tool before the robotic arm extracts them.
Actuates a heavy-duty diverter arm on a logistics conveyor, using its 80 mm stroke to push dense cartons cleanly onto a secondary packaging line.
Functions as a hard stop gate in an automated palletiser, securely halting incoming heavy product layers at 0.5 MPa without bouncing back.
When sizing this unit, stepping down to the MF32 bore drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 402.2 N, whereas the 40 mm bore represents the maximum standard capacity available in the MF family. The U flat-end back cover suits direct rear mounting against flat plates. If your mechanism must maintain vertical elevation during a loss of air supply or valve centring, note that this plain cylinder will drift; the TPU pads only decelerate the stroke end and do not function as a brake. You must incorporate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve to secure suspended loads. Furthermore, the 80 mm stroke is well within standard limits, but always ensure rigid guidance to prevent rod-bending side loads.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore double-acting cylinder features a 1/4" air port and an M14x1.5 male rod thread. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 628.3 N of push force and 527.8 N of pull force. 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.
It features a SUS304 stainless barrel with riveted aluminium covers, making the body shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same stroke. The SU designation means it has a U flat-end back cover and a built-in magnet (-S), allowing you to mount CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches for precise position sensing.
