Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X100CM
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X100CM is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 100mm 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.

About the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X100CM
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, the AirTAC MFC32X100CM is a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder built for demanding tasks. A variable air cushion at both ends lets you dial in the needle valve to absorb high-speed end-of-stroke shock, protecting your machinery and cutting noise. The SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdown, while the CM round-end rear cover suits compact installations. For the same 32 mm bore and 100 mm stroke, this body is notably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder.
This double-acting actuator uses a two-way oil-retaining seal and a fixed anti-impact pad on the front cover. It operates at 30-800 mm/s on a 1/4" port with an M10x1.25 male rod thread. Based on the 0.5 MPa push rating, it handles a safe working load of roughly 241 N, lifting about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X100CM Is Used
Package Diverting
Pushes medium-weight cartons at high speed onto side lanes, relying on the tuned air cushion to stop the 100 mm stroke without slamming.
Light Pressing
Applies up to 402.2 N of push force to seat small bearings or clips, using the fixed front pad to soften any unexpected hard contact.
Vertical Lift Stops
Hoists roughly 20.5 kg of stock between levels, using the rear CM cover for pivot mounting while a separate check valve holds the load.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X100CM the Right Cylinder?
If 245.3 N from the MFC25 is too light and 628.3 N from the MFC40 is overkill, this 32 mm bore hits the sweet spot. Engage the variable air cushion when cycling at high speeds or moving heavy loads to prevent harsh impacts. Remember the cushion only decelerates near the stroke end; it is not a brake. If you need to hold a load vertically during air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve, as the piston will drift. Finally, if your application requires position sensing, select the -S magnet variant to enable switches.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G / NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check Use correct back cover (CA/U/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X100CM FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4" port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. It generates 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for position sensing. The variable air cushion and SUS304 stainless barrel are present, but the cushion only decelerates the load; it will not lock the piston in place.
