Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X350SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X350SCA 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 MFC32X350SCA
Tuned to absorb high-velocity impacts, this double-acting 32 mm bore JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder relies on a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends to decelerate smoothly across its 350 mm stroke. The SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdown, while the rear CA pivot cover simplifies direct mounting. Crucially, for the same bore and stroke, the MFC body is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable machine length without conforming to that standard.
Delivering 402.2 N of push force and 345.6 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa (rising to 563 N and 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa), it fits mid-weight automation perfectly. The 1/4" port and M10x1.25 male rod thread handle robust airflow and linkage. In practical terms, it yields a safe working load of roughly 241 N, lifting about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The -S suffix equips the piston with a magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position sensing.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X350SCA Is Used
Package Diverting
Shifts medium-weight cartons at high speed across sorting lanes, using the adjustable air cushion to prevent harsh slamming at the 350 mm stroke end.
Vertical Flap Folding
Drives carton flaps downward rapidly; the needle-set deceleration protects the mechanical linkage from impact damage on every cycle.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a mid-stroke barrier for incoming pallets, absorbing the kinetic energy of the load contact via the CA pivot and dual air cushions.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X350SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore, compare it both ways: step down to an MFC25 for 245.3 N @0.5 MPa if the load is lighter, or step up to an MFC40 for 628.3 N @0.5 MPa for heavier dynamics. The variable air cushion is essential here for high-speed 350 mm strokes, as it lets you dial in the exact end-of-travel deceleration to protect the load. Note that the cushion only slows the piston near the end caps; it is not a brake. Because a standard cylinder drifts when air pressure drops or the valve is centered, you must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold a suspended load safely.
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 MFC32X350SCA FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4" port and a 12 mm rod with an M10x1.25 male 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, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and does not act as a lock or brake. If air pressure drops, the piston will drift. For vertical loads, you must install an external rod lock or pilot check valve. The -S magnet allows CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors to track position.
