Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X125SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X125SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 125mm 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 MFC32X125SCM
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore double-acting mini cylinder is built for demanding high-speed tasks. The MFC32X125SCM features a variable air cushion at both ends, letting you dial in a needle valve to absorb end-of-stroke shock, protecting your payload and cutting noise. Its SUS304 stainless round barrel and riveted aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdown environments.
For the same bore and stroke, this JIS-standard body is noticeably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length. Equipped with a 1/4" port, a 12 mm rod, and a CM round-end rear cover, it includes a built-in magnet (-S) for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. Based on the 0.5 MPa thrust, it handles a safe working load of about 241 N, lifting roughly 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X125SCM Is Used
Package Diverting
Pushes medium-weight cartons at high cycle rates; the adjustable air cushion prevents harsh slams that could damage boxes or the conveyor frame.
Light Pressing
Applies up to 563 N of push force at 0.7 MPa to seat bearings or pins, using the 125 mm stroke to reach into tight machinery spaces.
Vertical Lift Gates
Raises access flaps or small gates; with a safe working load near 241 N, it lifts the mass smoothly while the CM rear cover eases pivot mounting.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X125SCM 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 for heavier payloads (628.3 N push 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 before the end of stroke. Note that the cushion only slows the piston near the end of travel; it does not function as a lock or brake.
Because a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure drops or a valve centers, you must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold a suspended load safely. This CM rear-cover model includes the -S magnet for position sensing, and you can mount it using LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion brackets.
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 MFC32X125SCM FAQ
This double-acting 32 mm bore cylinder has a 1/4" air port and a 12 mm piston 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 its stroke to reduce shock; it is not a brake or lock. If you need to hold a load vertically during air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve. The -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors to confirm position.
