Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X100SCMTC
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X100SCMTC 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 MFC32X100SCMTC
Dialing in end-of-stroke deceleration is effortless with the AirTAC MFC32X100SCMTC, a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder built for double-acting service. A variable air cushion at both ends replaces hard bumpers, using a needle valve to absorb high-speed shock and protect your payload. The riveted aluminium covers and SUS304 stainless barrel resist mild corrosion and washdown, while the CM round-end rear cover and TC trunnion mounting simplify pivot installations.
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore unit handles substantial work for its compact footprint. It is notably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder of the same bore and stroke, saving valuable machine space. The integrated -S piston magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for position sensing. With a safe working load around 241 N, it lifts about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X100SCMTC Is Used
Package Diverting
Stops and diverts heavy cartons on a high-speed line using its 241 N safe working load, relying on the tuned air cushion to prevent harsh impacts at the 100 mm stroke end.
Light Pressing
Applies 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa to seat small bearings or pins, where the SUS304 barrel withstands occasional coolant spray in a machining cell.
Vertical Lift Gates
Raises and lowers access flaps weighing up to 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin, using the TC trunnion to accommodate the pivoting motion smoothly.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X100SCMTC the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore actuator, compare its 402.2 N push force at 0.5 MPa against adjacent options. If your application is lighter, the MFC25 provides 245.3 N; for heavier demands, the MFC40 steps up to 628.3 N. Choose this MFC32 variant when operating at high speeds where the adjustable needle cushion is essential to smooth out stops.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and does not function as a brake. If air pressure drops, the piston will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve for suspended loads. The included TC trunnion pairs with the CM rear cover for articulated mounting, and the -S magnet enables electronic or reed sensor tracking.

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 MFC32X100SCMTC FAQ
This double-acting 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4 inch air port and a 12 mm rod with an M10x1.25 male thread. 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 of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of stroke and acts purely as a shock absorber, never as a lock or brake. If you need to hold a vertical load during pressure loss, you must install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
