Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X35SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X35SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 35mm 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 MFC32X35SCA
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, the AirTAC MFC32X35SCA is a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder built for demanding 32 mm bore tasks. A variable air cushion at both ends lets you dial in the needle valve to absorb end-of-stroke shock at high speeds, protecting your payload far better than a fixed bumper. The riveted SUS304 stainless barrel and aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdown, while the overall body is notably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same bore and stroke, saving valuable mounting length.
This specific SKU includes a built-in piston magnet (the -S suffix) to support CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG reed or electronic switches. It also features a CA rear pivot cover for direct clevis mounting. With a 1/4" port and a 35 mm stroke, it provides a safe working load of roughly 241 N, or about 60 percent of its 0.5 MPa rating. In vertical setups, that translates to lifting approximately 20.5 kg safely with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X35SCA Is Used
High-Speed Diverting
Cushions the 402.2 N thrust impact when rapidly pushing parcels off a sorting line at 800 mm/s, cutting mechanical shock and noise.
Vertical Lift Stops
Lowers a 20 kg fixture smoothly using the CA pivot mount, relying on the adjustable needle valve to prevent a harsh bottoming slam.
Carton Sealing Press
Drives a sealing head down 35 mm with precise end-of-stroke deceleration, protecting the crimp jaws from sudden jarring forces.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X35SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore unit, step down to an MFC25 if your load requires 245.3 N or less at 0.5 MPa, or step up to an MFC40 for heavier rigs needing 628.3 N. The adjustable air cushion is essential when cycling at high speeds or moving heavy masses, as it decelerates the piston smoothly near the end caps. Note that this cushion only slows the stroke; it does not function as a brake. If your application must hold a load vertically during air loss or valve centering, fit an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve, because the piston will drift. Mounting is straightforward via the CA back cover pivot, and position sensing is ready out of the box thanks to the factory-installed magnet.
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 MFC32X35SCA FAQ
This 32 mm bore double-acting cylinder uses a 1/4" port and delivers a push force of 402.2 N and a pull force of 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 563 N and the pull force is 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and acts purely as a shock absorber, never as a lock or brake. If you need to hold a vertical load during air loss, you must install an external rod lock or pilot check valve. The -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors to track position.
