Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X150CM
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X150CM is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 150mm 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 MFC32X150CM
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting mini cylinder brings variable air cushioning to a 32 mm bore. The needle-adjustable cushion at both ends soaks up high-speed end-of-stroke shock, protecting your payload and cutting noise far better than a fixed bumper. Its JIS-standard round-body construction uses a SUS304 stainless barrel with riveted aluminium covers to resist mild corrosion and washdown environments.
For the same bore and stroke, the MFC body is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length. Equipped with a CM round-end rear cover and a 1/4 inch port, it handles speeds of 30-800 mm/s. Based on the 0.5 MPa push rating, it provides a safe working load of about 241 N and lifts roughly 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note this SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X150CM Is Used
Package Diverting
Shifts parcels smoothly on a high-speed sorter where the adjustable air cushion absorbs the shock of the 150 mm stroke stop without slamming.
Light Pressing
Applies a steady 402.2 N push at 0.5 MPa to seat small bearings, using the needle valve to soften the end impact and protect the tooling.
Flap Folding
Drives carton flaps at up to 800 mm/s, relying on the SUS304 stainless barrel to withstand washdown in a packaging line.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X150CM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore, step down to the MFC25 for 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa, or move up to the MFC40 if you need 628.3 N. The variable air cushion is essential here if you are moving heavy loads at high velocity, as it decelerates the piston smoothly right at the stroke end. Remember the cushion only slows the piston; it is not a brake.
Because this plain cylinder does not hold position on air loss and the piston will drift, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve for suspended loads. This non-magnetic SKU cannot take a switch, so order an -S variant if you need position sensing. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot and TC trunnion.
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 MFC32X150CM FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder has a 1/4 inch port and a 12 mm rod. It pushes 402.2 N and pulls 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 563 N and pulls 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for position sensing. The variable air cushion at both ends only decelerates the piston near stroke end; it does not lock or hold the load.
