Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X350U
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X350U 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 MFC32X350U
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting 32 mm bore mini cylinder handles long 350 mm strokes with precision. A variable air cushion at both ends lets you dial in the needle valve to decelerate heavy loads smoothly, eliminating end-of-stroke banging. The riveted SUS304 stainless barrel and aluminium covers resist mild corrosion, and the flat U rear cover simplifies direct mounting.
For the same bore and stroke, this JIS-standard round-body unit is physically shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable machine space. It yields a safe working load of about 241 N, meaning it can vertically lift roughly 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Note this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors without switching to the -S version.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X350U Is Used
Long-Stroke Diversion
Pushes packages across a 350 mm gap at speed, relying on the adjustable air cushion to stop the 402.2 N thrust smoothly without jarring the belt frame.
Vertical Lift Gate
Raises a 20 kg material gate using the flat U cover for flush mounting, while the needle valve damps the descent to prevent slamming.
Component Transfer Arm
Moves parts rapidly along a 350 mm path where the shorter JIS body saves machine length compared to standard ISO 6432 units.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X350U the Right Cylinder?
If 241 N is too much force, step down to the MFC25 which provides 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa; if you need more muscle, the MFC40 offers 628.3 N. The adjustable air cushion is essential here because a 350 mm stroke builds significant momentum at high speeds. Remember the cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of travel—it is not a brake. If the air supply drops, the load will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve for vertical holding. This base model has no magnet for position sensing.
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 MFC32X350U FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4" 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 of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet. To use CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches, you must select the -S variant. The cylinder does feature a SUS304 stainless barrel and a variable air cushion at both ends to absorb shock.
