The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X105SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 105mm 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 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore double-acting mini cylinder relies on a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends to absorb high-speed shocks. The riveted aluminium covers and SUS304 stainless barrel resist mild corrosion and washdown, while the CM round-end rear cover completes the JIS-standard round-body build. For the same bore and stroke, this unit is noticeably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length.
Because the SKU includes the -S suffix, a built-in piston magnet enables position sensing with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. Driven by a 1/4" port and a 12 mm rod with an M10x1.25 male thread, it handles a safe working load of roughly 241 N. In vertical setups, it lifts about 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end; it is not a brake.

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 402.2 N thrust to push parcels onto secondary lines at speed, with the variable cushion preventing harsh slams at the 105 mm stroke end.
Ideal for seating small bearings, relying on the 241 N safe working load and needle-adjusted deceleration to avoid damaging delicate components.
Raises a 20.5 kg access panel with a 2:1 safety margin, where the shorter JIS body saves headroom compared to standard ISO 6432 units.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, step down to the MFC25 for 245.3 N @0.5 MPa if your load is lighter, or move up to the MFC40 for 628.3 N @0.5 MPa when you need heavier thrust. The adjustable air cushion is essential when cycling at high speeds or moving substantial mass, letting you dial in the exact deceleration to protect the workpiece. If the application must hold position during air loss or valve centering, note that the piston will drift; you should add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, and TC trunnion brackets.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder has a 1/4" port and generates 402.2 N push / 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 563 N push / 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the piston will drift on air loss. The variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it is not a lock or brake. For holding a vertical load, you must install an external rod lock or pilot check valve. The -S magnet allows CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
