Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X150SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X150SCA 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 MFC32X150SCA
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting 32 mm bore mini cylinder is built for demanding actuation. A variable air cushion at both ends lets you dial in the needle valve to absorb end-of-stroke shock at high speeds, protecting your payload and cutting workshop noise. The riveted SUS304 stainless barrel and aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdown environments.
For the same bore and stroke, the JIS-standard round-body design is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length. This specific SKU includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position sensing, and features a CA rear pivot cover. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, with a 1/4" air port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. Based on the 0.5 MPa thrust, it handles a safe working load of roughly 241 N, lifting about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X150SCA Is Used
Package Diverting
Pushes parcels at high cycle rates on a sorting line, using the adjustable air cushion to silently stop the 150 mm stroke without jarring the mechanism.
Component Seating
Drives a 20.5 kg tooling head vertically into place, relying on the 402.2 N thrust to seat parts firmly while the cushion prevents impact damage.
Carton Forming
Folds corrugated flaps at speed on a washdown-ready packaging line, where the SUS304 barrel shrugs off moisture and the CA pivot allows self-aligning motion.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X150SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore, check both directions: step down to an MFC25 for 245.3 N @0.5 MPa if your load is lighter, or step up to an MFC40 for 628.3 N @0.5 MPa for heavier demands. The variable air cushion is essential when cycling at high speeds or moving substantial mass, as it prevents harsh end-of-stroke impacts that a fixed bumper cannot absorb.
Remember that the cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function as a brake or lock. If your application must hold a vertical load during air loss or when a valve is centered, the piston will drift, so you must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot and TC trunnion, while the -S magnet enables solid-state or reed switch sensing.
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 MFC32X150SCA FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder has a 1/4" air port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 402.2 N and pulls with 345.6 N. At 0.7 MPa the push is 563 N and pull is 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of the stroke to reduce shock; it is not a locking mechanism. The piston will drift if air is lost or a valve is centered. To hold a load safely, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
