Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X150SU
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X150SU 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 MFC32X150SU
Dial in end-of-stroke deceleration with the AirTAC MFC32X150SU, a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder built for double-acting service. An adjustable needle valve at both ends soaks up high-speed shock, outperforming fixed bumpers by actively smoothing the 150 mm travel and cutting impact noise. The riveted SUS304 stainless barrel and aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdown, while the U-type flat-end rear cover simplifies direct mounting.
In the 32 mm bore class, this actuator generates 402.2 N of push force and 345.6 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, peaking at an 82 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. It carries a 1/4 inch air port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread on a 12 mm piston rod. Because the -S suffix includes a built-in piston magnet, the body is ready for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position switches. For the same bore and stroke, the MFC body is noticeably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable machine space without conforming to that standard.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X150SU Is Used
Package Diverting
Pushes cartons at high cycle rates where the variable air cushion absorbs the 402.2 N end-of-stroke impact, preventing damage to lightweight packaging.
Light Pressing
Applies a controlled 241 N safe working load to seat bearings or pins, using the 150 mm stroke to reach deep into a machine frame.
Vertical Lift Stops
Lifts approximately 20.5 kg of tote weight vertically with a 2:1 safety margin, relying on the adjustable cushion to ease the stop at the top of the travel.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X150SU the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore unit, compare its 402.2 N push force at 0.5 MPa against adjacent options. If your payload is lighter, the MFC25 provides 245.3 N; if you need more thrust, the MFC40 steps up to 628.3 N. The variable air cushion is essential when cycling at high speeds or moving heavy masses, as it prevents harsh end-of-stroke slamming. However, this cylinder does not hold position on air loss—the piston will drift if pressure drops. For suspended or gravity-loaded applications, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
The U-type flat back cover allows direct rear mounting, and you can pair the -S magnet option with CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors for precise end-position detection. Operating pressure spans 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa and a speed range of 30-800 mm/s.
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 MFC32X150SU FAQ
This 32 mm bore double-acting cylinder uses a 1/4 inch air port and a 12 mm rod with an M10x1.25 male thread. It delivers 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the piston will drift on air loss. The variable air cushion at both ends only decelerates the piston near the stroke end to reduce shock; it does not function as a lock or brake. You must add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for load holding.
