Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X10U
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X10U 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 MFC32X10U
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore double-acting mini cylinder handles heavy-duty tasks in tight spaces. It features a JIS-standard round-body design with a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers, offering excellent mild corrosion and washdown resistance. For the same bore and stroke, the MFC body is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length.
A defining trait is the variable air cushion at both ends, letting you turn a needle to soak up high-speed end-of-stroke shock, protecting the load and cutting noise versus a simple bumper. This specific SKU features a 10 mm stroke with a U flat-end rear cover but lacks a magnet, meaning it cannot take a magnetic switch. Based on the 0.5 MPa push force, it handles a safe working load of about 241 N, or lifts roughly 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X10U Is Used
Short-Stroke Clamping
Ideal for securely holding metal workpieces in machining fixtures, using the 402.2 N push force across a rapid 10 mm travel.
High-Speed Sealing
Closes carton flaps at high cycle rates where the adjustable air cushion absorbs the tiny 10 mm end-of-stroke impact to protect packaging materials.
Compact Diverter Gate
Fits into tight conveyor frames thanks to the U flat-end cover and short body design, providing robust 32 mm bore diverting power.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X10U the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore, step down to an MFC25 if your load requires less than 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa, or move up to an MFC40 for heavier payloads needing 628.3 N. The variable air cushion is essential if you are moving high-speed or heavy loads, as it decelerates the piston smoothly near the stroke end. Note that the cushion only slows the piston; it is not a lock or brake.
Because this model has no -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. If position feedback is needed, select the -S variant. Furthermore, a plain cylinder does not hold its load on air loss or when the valve is centered, as the piston will drift. For suspended or vertical loads, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
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 MFC32X10U FAQ
This double-acting 32 mm bore cylinder has a 1/4" air port and a male M10x1.25 rod 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 force of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must choose the -S magnet variant for sensing. The cylinder also features a SUS304 stainless barrel and a variable air cushion at both ends to manage shock.
