Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X10SU
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X10SU 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 MFC32X10SU
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting 32 mm bore mini cylinder is built for rapid, shock-sensitive tasks. A needle-set variable air cushion at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact at high speeds, protecting your payload far better than a fixed rubber bumper. The riveted SUS304 stainless barrel and aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdown environments.
For the same bore and stroke, the JIS-standard round-body design is noticeably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length. This specific SKU includes a U flat-end rear cover and a built-in piston magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors. With a safe working load of roughly 241 N, it can vertically lift about 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X10SU Is Used
Short-Stroke Clamping
Ideal for rapidly clamping components in machining fixtures, using the 10 mm stroke and variable cushion to prevent workpiece deformation at stroke end.
High-Speed Diverting
Executes fast sorting motions on packaging lines where the 402.2 N thrust pushes products firmly without harsh mechanical slamming.
Compact Vertical Lift
Lifts small bins weighing up to 20.5 kg vertically, leveraging the space-saving JIS body length to fit within tight transfer station clearances.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X10SU the Right Cylinder?
If 245.3 N from the MFC25 is insufficient, this 32 mm bore provides the necessary step up while staying compact; if you need heavier thrust, the MFC40 offers 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa. The adjustable air cushion is essential when cycling at high speeds or moving heavy masses, as it decelerates the piston smoothly to reduce noise and wear.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates near the stroke end and does not function as a lock or brake. If your application must hold a load vertically during air loss or valve centring, fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to prevent drifting. The 1/4" port and M10x1.25 male rod thread simplify integration into existing pneumatic setups.
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 MFC32X10SU 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, 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 end of the stroke and acts purely as a shock absorber, never as a brake. Because a plain cylinder drifts on air loss or valve centring, you must add an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a vertical load safely.
