Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X100SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X100SCA 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 MFC32X100SCA
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting round-body mini cylinder integrates an adjustable needle-set air cushion at both ends to absorb high-speed end-of-stroke shock. The riveted aluminium covers and SUS304 stainless steel barrel resist mild corrosion and washdown environments, while the JIS-standard construction yields a shorter overall body than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same 32 mm bore and 100 mm stroke.
Driven by a 12 mm rod with a 1/4" port, the unit travels at 30-800 mm/s and includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. The CA rear pivot cover simplifies rear-hinge mounting. For sizing, it provides a safe working load of roughly 241 N, lifting about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X100SCA Is Used
Package Diverting
Handles high-speed diverting of medium-weight cartons on a packing line, using the variable cushion to stop the 100 mm stroke gently without jarring the goods.
Light Pressing
Applies up to 563 N of thrust at 0.7 MPa for seating bearings or light press fits, where the SUS304 barrel tolerates light coolant splash.
Pallet Stopper
Acts as a shock-absorbing stop for incoming pallets, with the CA pivot allowing the body to self-align against the impact load.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X100SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore, stepping down to the MFC25 drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 245.3 N, whereas moving up to the MFC40 raises it to 628.3 N. Choose this model when moving heavier loads at high speeds, as the variable air cushion is essential for decelerating the mass smoothly without slamming.
Because the cushion only slows the piston near the stroke end and does not act as a brake, the rod will drift if air pressure drops. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for suspended loads. The -S magnet enables position sensing, and the CA back cover allows direct pivot mounting.
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 MFC32X100SCA FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4" port and a 12 mm rod. It generates 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum force of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors. However, the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of stroke; it is not a brake. The cylinder will drift on air loss, so you need an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended load.
