Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X150U
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X150U 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 MFC32X150U
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore double-acting mini cylinder is built for demanding actuation. A variable air cushion at both ends lets you dial in a needle valve to absorb high-speed end-of-stroke shock, protecting the payload and cutting noise. The riveted aluminium covers and SUS304 stainless barrel resist mild corrosion and washdown. For the same bore and stroke, this JIS-standard round body is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length.
At 150 mm stroke, this configuration uses a 12 mm rod and a 1/4" port. It yields a safe working load of roughly 241 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa push figure) and lifts about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors. It features a U flat-end rear cover, and the front cover carries a fixed anti-impact pad alongside the adjustable cushion.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X150U Is Used
Package Diverting
Handles 150 mm routing strokes on packaging lines, using the needle-set cushion to softly stop 20 kg cartons without bounce.
Light Pressing
Applies up to 402.2 N of push force for seating small bearings, with the U flat-end cover allowing direct frame mounting.
Vertical Lift Stops
Raises lightweight totes 150 mm; the adjustable air cushion decelerates the downward stroke to protect the load.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X150U the Right Cylinder?
If 402.2 N at 0.5 MPa is too much, step down to the MFC25 which provides 245.3 N; if you need more muscle, the MFC40 offers 628.3 N. The variable cushion is essential when cycling at high speeds or moving heavy masses, as it prevents harsh impacts. Remember that the cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end—it is not a brake. Because a standard cylinder drifts when air pressure drops or a valve centres, use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for load holding. Mount via LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot or TC trunnion, and select the -S magnet version if you need position 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 MFC32X150U FAQ
This 32 mm bore model 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, this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for sensing. The SUS304 stainless build and adjustable air cushion remain present on this version.
