Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X350SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X350SCM 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 MFC32X350SCM
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore double-acting mini cylinder relies on a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends to decelerate heavy loads smoothly over its 350 mm stroke. The riveted aluminium covers and SUS304 stainless barrel resist mild corrosion and washdown, while the JIS-standard round-body construction is notably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same envelope. A built-in piston magnet (-S) supports position sensing, and the CM round-end rear cover completes the assembly.
Fitted with a 1/4" port and a 12 mm rod with an M10x1.25 male thread, it handles a safe working load of roughly 241 N. In vertical lifting applications, that translates to hoisting about 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The cushion needle only softens end-of-stroke impact and does not function as a brake.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X350SCM Is Used
Package Diverting
Routes parcels at high speed across a 350 mm stroke, using the variable air cushion to absorb shock and prevent product damage at the end of travel.
Vertical Material Lift
Lowers a 20 kg jig smoothly, relying on the needle-set deceleration to stop the descent gently without slamming the rear CM cover.
Component Pressing
Applies up to 241 N of safe working force to seat bearings, with the 1/4" port ensuring rapid actuation for cycle-heavy assembly lines.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X350SCM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore unit, step down to an MFC25 for 245.3 N @0.5 MPa if your payload is lighter, or move up to an MFC40 for 628.3 N @0.5 MPa for heavier dynamics. The variable air cushion is essential for high-speed actuation across the 350 mm travel, allowing you to dial in the exact deceleration to protect the mechanism.
Because a standard cylinder drifts when air pressure drops or the valve is centred, you must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for suspended loads. The -S magnet on this SKU enables CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches, and you can mount it using LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot or TC trunnion brackets.
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 MFC32X350SCM FAQ
This double-acting cylinder features a 1/4" port and generates 402.2 N push / 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 563 N push / 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa, with an operating speed of 30-800 mm/s.
No, the variable air cushion at both ends only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it is not a lock or brake. If you need to hold a suspended load when air drops or valves centre, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve. The -S magnet allows CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors to confirm position.
