Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X130SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X130SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 130mm 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 MFC32X130SCA
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder integrates a variable air cushion at both ends to absorb high-speed end-of-stroke shock. The riveted aluminium covers and SUS304 stainless barrel resist mild corrosion and washdown, while the built-in piston magnet (-S) enables direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors. For the same bore and stroke, the MFC body is notably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length.
Fitted with a 1/4 inch port and a 12 mm rod, the 32 mm bore yields a safe working load of roughly 241 N. With a 2:1 safety margin, it lifts about 20.5 kg vertically. The rear CA pivot cover simplifies angular mounting, and the adjustable cushion needle lets you tune deceleration precisely. Note that the cushion only decelerates the load near the stroke end; it does not function as a lock or brake.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X130SCA Is Used
Package Diverting
Pushes parcels smoothly at high cycle rates; the adjustable air cushion eliminates harsh end-of-stroke slamming on the 130 mm stroke.
Light Pressing
Applies up to 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa for seating small bearings or components without damaging the fixture.
Vertical Lift Gates
Raises 20.5 kg access panels with a 2:1 safety margin, using the CA pivot to accommodate angular articulation.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X130SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore, verify your force needs against adjacent models. If 402.2 N at 0.5 MPa is excessive, step down to the MFC25 which provides 245.3 N; if your payload requires more thrust, step up to the MFC40 delivering 628.3 N. The variable air cushion is essential when cycling at high speeds or moving heavy masses, as it prevents harsh impacts that could damage your mechanism.
Because a standard cylinder cannot hold position on air loss and the piston will drift, you must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for suspended loads. This SKU includes the -S magnet for position sensing and features a CA rear pivot. Mounting options across the series include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot-block and 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 MFC32X130SCA FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4 inch port and a 12 mm rod. It generates 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. However, the variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end; it is not a brake. To hold a suspended load on air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
