Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X130SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X130SCM 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 MFC32X130SCM
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting 32 mm bore mini cylinder handles mid-range automation tasks with precision. The MFC32X130SCM features a variable air cushion at both ends, allowing you to tune a needle valve to absorb high-speed end-of-stroke shock, protecting your payload and reducing noise. Its JIS-standard round-body construction uses a SUS304 stainless steel barrel with riveted aluminium covers, offering excellent mild corrosion and washdown resistance.
For the same bore and stroke, this riveted stainless body is notably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length. Equipped with a 1/4 inch port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread, it includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) for position sensing and a CM round-end rear cover. Based on its 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 safety margin.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X130SCM Is Used
Package Diverting
Pushes parcels smoothly on sorting lines using its 241 N safe working load, with the variable air cushion preventing harsh impacts during rapid stroke ends.
Light Pressing
Applies steady 402.2 N clamping force for small component seating, relying on the SUS304 stainless build to withstand occasional coolant spray.
Vertical Lifting
Raises lightweight tote bins weighing up to 20.5 kg, benefiting from the compact JIS body length that fits into tight elevator frameworks.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X130SCM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore model, stepping down to an MFC25 yields 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to an MFC40 provides 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 near the stroke ends. Note that this cylinder does not hold position on air loss; the piston will drift if pressure drops, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for suspended loads.
The included -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG reed or electronic switches for exact positioning. Mounting flexibility is provided through LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, and TC trunnion brackets, complemented by the CM round-end back cover on this unit.
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 MFC32X130SCM FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4 inch port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.2 N and pulls 345.6 N. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 563 N and pulls 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches. The variable air cushion at both ends uses a needle to decelerate the piston near stroke ends to reduce shock; it is not a brake and cannot hold a load in place.
