Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X355SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X355SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 355mm 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 MFC32X355SCM
Shrinking machine envelopes is effortless with the AirTAC MFC32X355SCM, a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder engineered for double-acting operation. Driven by a 32 mm bore and 355 mm stroke, it generates 402.2 N of push force and 345.6 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. For the same bore and stroke, this riveted SUS304 stainless steel and aluminium unit is notably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length without conforming to that standard.
A defining trait of this model is its variable air cushion at both ends, allowing you to needle-set the deceleration to absorb high-speed shocks and protect payloads. The integrated -S piston magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for position sensing, while the CM round-end back cover eases rear mounting. Derived from its 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.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X355SCM Is Used
Package Diverting
Pushes parcels weighing up to 20 kg off a high-speed sorting line, using the variable air cushion to stop the 355 mm stroke smoothly without jarring the goods.
Component Seating
Delivers 402.2 N of force to press lightweight bushings into housings, relying on the adjustable needle to decelerate the load at the end of travel.
Vertical Lifting Stops
Raises small material trays in a compact cell where the shorter-than-ISO-6432 body length saves space, while the CM cover handles rear pivot mounting.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X355SCM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore actuator, compare it directly with adjacent bores using 0.5 MPa push figures: the MFC25 provides 245.3 N, while the MFC40 steps up to 628.3 N. Choose this MFC32 when your application demands 402.2 N of thrust and requires the end-of-stroke shock absorption that only a variable air cushion provides at high cycling speeds.
Remember that the cushion solely decelerates the piston near the stroke end and never acts as a lock or brake. If air pressure drops or the valve is centered, the load will drift; for strict position holding, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The 1/4" port matches the 32 mm bore, and the included -S magnet pairs directly with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
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 MFC32X355SCM FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4" port and a 12 mm rod with an M10x1.25 male thread. It delivers 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, the variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of the stroke to reduce shock; it is not a brake and will not hold a load on air loss. The -S in the model code denotes a built-in magnet for use with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
