Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X10SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X10SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 10mm 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 MFC32X10SCM
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting 32 mm bore mini cylinder handles substantial workloads within a compact footprint. The MFC32X10SCM features a variable air cushion at both ends, allowing you to needle-tune the deceleration to absorb high-speed shock and reduce noise. Its SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdown environments.
For the same bore and stroke, this JIS-standard round-body cylinder is notably shorter than an ISO 6432 unit, saving valuable mounting length. Equipped with a 1/4" port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread, it includes a CM round-end rear cover. The -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches. Based on the 0.5 MPa thrust, it provides a safe working load of roughly 241 N and lifts about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X10SCM Is Used
Package Diverting
Shifts small to mid-weight cartons at high cycle rates where the tuned air cushion prevents harsh end-stop slamming on the 10 mm stroke.
Clamping Fixtures
Provides a solid 402.2 N clamping force at 0.5 MPa for holding aluminium or plastic components during light machining.
Vertical Lowering
Lowers a 20 kg tooling head smoothly; the needle-set cushion ensures the mass decelerates gently without a hard mechanical jolt.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X10SCM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore, step down to an MFC25 for lighter duties (245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa) or move up to an MFC40 when you need greater thrust (628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa). The adjustable air cushion is essential if you are driving heavy loads at high speeds, as it softens the impact right before the stroke end.
Remember that the cushion only decelerates the piston; it does not function as a brake. If your application must hold a load vertically during air loss or when a valve is centered, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The -S magnet on this model enables CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors for precise end-position detection.
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 MFC32X10SCM FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4" air port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. It generates 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and acts purely as a shock absorber, never as a lock or brake. The piston will drift on air loss. To hold a vertical load securely, you must fit an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
