Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X15SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X15SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 15mm 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 MFC32X15SCA
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting 32 mm bore mini cylinder handles rapid 15 mm strokes with minimal shock. The integrated variable air cushion at both ends lets you dial in the needle to decelerate heavy loads precisely at stroke end, actively reducing noise and impact compared to fixed bumper designs. A built-in piston magnet (-S) enables direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for position sensing.
Built with a JIS-standard round body, the SUS304 stainless steel barrel and riveted aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. For the same bore and stroke, this compact unit is notably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length. It provides a safe working load of roughly 241 N, capable of lifting about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X15SCA Is Used
Short-Stroke Clamping
Rapidly secures machined parts with 402.2 N of push force, using the variable cushion to prevent harsh impacts during fast 15 mm actuation.
Package Diverting
Handles high-speed lane changing on packaging lines; the -S magnet pairs with sensors to confirm divert strokes in tight layouts.
Compact Ejection
Ejects formed components quickly, relying on the SUS304 stainless build to withstand mildly corrosive industrial environments.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X15SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore, step down to an MFC25 if your load requires less than 245.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, or move up to an MFC40 for heavier payloads needing 628.3 N. The adjustable air cushion is essential for high-speed operations or moving significant mass, as it smoothly decelerates the piston without slamming. This unit features a CA rear pivot cover and a 1/4" port.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function as a lock or brake. If air pressure drops or the valve is centered, the piston will drift and cannot hold position. To suspend a load securely, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
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 MFC32X15SCA FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4" port and a 12 mm rod. It generates 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 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 and does not act as a brake. If air pressure is lost, the piston will drift. For load holding, you must use an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
