Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X350CM
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X350CM is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 350mm 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 MFC32X350CM
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting 32 mm bore mini cylinder handles mid-range automation tasks with precision. The riveted aluminium covers and SUS304 stainless barrel resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. Equipped with a CM round-end rear cover, its JIS-standard round body is physically shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same 350 mm stroke, saving valuable mounting length.
A variable air cushion at both ends lets you dial in the needle valve to absorb end-of-stroke shock at high speeds, protecting the load and cutting noise. Based on the 0.5 MPa push rating, it handles a safe working load of roughly 241 N, or lifts about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Note this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors; order the -S variant for position detection.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X350CM Is Used
Package Diverting
Pushes medium-weight cartons at high cycle rates, using the adjustable air cushion to stop the 350 mm stroke gently without jarring the conveyor frame.
Vertical Material Lift
Raises roughly 20.5 kg of stock along a vertical axis, relying on the smooth deceleration to prevent the load from bouncing at the upper travel limit.
Light Press Assembly
Applies up to 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa to seat bearings or pins, with the stainless barrel enduring mildly humid shop conditions.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X350CM the Right Cylinder?
If 245.3 N from the smaller MFC25 is insufficient, this 32 mm bore provides a solid step up, while stepping further to the MFC40 yields 628.3 N for heavier demands. The adjustable air cushion is essential when moving loads at high speed across the 350 mm stroke, as it decelerates the piston smoothly without harsh impacts.
Because this is a plain double-acting cylinder, it will drift if air pressure drops or a valve is centred; the cushion only slows the stroke end and acts as neither a lock nor a brake. For suspended or vertical loads that must hold position on air loss, fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Additionally, without the -S magnet option, this unit cannot support magnetic switches.
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 MFC32X350CM FAQ
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, 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum force of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches; you must select the -S variant for position sensing. It features a SUS304 stainless barrel and a variable air cushion at both ends that decelerates the piston near stroke end, but this cushion is not a brake and will not hold the load on air loss.
