The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X330SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 330mm 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.
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting 32 mm bore mini cylinder tackles heavy loads with precision. The MFC32X330SCM features a variable air cushion at both ends, letting you dial in a needle valve to absorb end-of-stroke shock at high speeds, protecting your machinery and cutting noise. Its SUS304 stainless steel barrel and riveted aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdown environments.
For the same bore and stroke, this JIS-standard round-body cylinder is notably shorter than an ISO 6432 unit, saving valuable mounting length. Equipped with a built-in piston magnet (-S) and a CM round-end rear cover, it supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors. Based on the 0.5 MPa push rating, it handles a safe working load of roughly 241 N, lifting about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

MF-family variants: MF / MFC (double acting ±cushion), MSF / MTF (single acting push / pull), MFD / MFCD (double rod ±cushion), MFJ / MFCJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
Uses the 402.2 N thrust to push heavy cartons off a high-speed line, relying on the adjustable air cushion to stop the 330 mm stroke smoothly without slamming.
Applies steady downward force for seating small bearings, using the needle-set cushion to protect the tooling at the bottom of the stroke.
Raises access panels weighing up to 20.5 kg, taking advantage of the compact JIS body length to fit tight structural cavities.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, check both ends of the range: the smaller MFC25 provides 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa, while the larger MFC40 delivers 628.3 N. Choose this MFC32 when your application demands mid-range thrust and adjustable deceleration at high operating speeds. The 1/4" port and M10x1.25 male rod thread ensure solid flow and mounting compatibility.
Remember that the variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it is not a brake. If the air supply drops, the piston will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold a suspended load safely.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4" air port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. 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 its stroke and does not act as a lock. If air pressure is lost, the piston will drift. You must use an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a load. The built-in magnet (-S) allows use with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
