Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X150SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X150SCM 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 MFC32X150SCM
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore double-acting mini cylinder is built for rapid cycling. The defining trait of the MFC series is its variable air cushion at both ends: a needle valve lets you dial in the deceleration to absorb end-of-stroke shock at high speeds, protecting the load and cutting noise. The CM round-end rear cover and 150 mm stroke suit compact mid-range positioning tasks.
The riveted rolling-packed construction pairs a SUS304 stainless steel barrel with aluminium covers to resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. Thanks to its JIS-standard round-body geometry, the overall envelope is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same bore and stroke, saving valuable mounting length. This specific SKU includes the -S piston magnet for position sensing and uses a 1/4" port.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X150SCM Is Used
Package Diverting
Handles 150 mm sorting strokes at high speed, using the adjustable air cushion to stop 20 kg cartons smoothly without slamming.
Light Pressing
Applies up to 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa for seating small bearings, with the SUS304 barrel surviving light coolant spray.
Vertical Lifting
Raises 20.5 kg fixtures safely with a 2:1 margin, relying on the CM round-end cover for neat top mounting in tight cells.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X150SCM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore, check both neighbours: step down to the MFC25 for 245.3 N @0.5 MPa if your load is lighter, or step up to the MFC40 for 628.3 N @0.5 MPa for heavier dynamics. For this model, a safe working load is roughly 241 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa push force), lifting around 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The variable air cushion shines when driving high-speed or heavy loads into the endcap.
Remember that the cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end—it is not a brake. If air pressure drops, the piston will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for suspended loads. The built-in -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches, while 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 MFC32X150SCM FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder has a 1/4" 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.
No. The variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of the stroke; it is not a lock or brake. If air is lost, the piston will drift. For suspended loads, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve. The -S magnet allows CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors to confirm position.
