The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X35SCM 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.
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, the AirTAC MFC32X35SCM is a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder built for demanding actuation. It features a SUS304 stainless barrel with riveted aluminium covers, resisting mild corrosion and washdown environments. Because the -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet, this model is fully ready for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position switches.
A defining trait of the MFC series is the variable air cushion at both ends, which uses a needle valve to absorb high-speed end-of-stroke shock, reducing noise and load damage compared to a fixed bumper. For the same bore and stroke, this riveted body is notably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length. It operates on a 1/4 inch port at speeds from 30 to 800 mm/s, and its safe working load is approximately 241 N, lifting about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

MF-family variants: MF / MFC (double acting ±cushion), MSF / MTF (single acting push / pull), MFD / MFCD (double rod ±cushion), MFJ / MFCJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
Uses the 402.2 N thrust to push parcels off a belt at speed, relying on the variable air cushion to prevent harsh end-of-stroke impacts.
Holds a 20.5 kg workpiece securely for machining, where the SUS304 stainless barrel withstands cutting fluid splash and washdown.
Raises components in a tight assembly cell where the shorter-than-ISO-6432 body length saves critical machine footprint.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, evaluate your force needs bidirectionally: step down to an MFC25 for 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa, or step up to an MFC40 for 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa. The adjustable air cushion is essential if you are moving heavy loads at high velocity, as it decelerates the piston smoothly near the stroke end. Note that this cushion only slows the piston; it does not act as a lock or brake. If your application must hold a load vertically during air loss or valve centring, the piston will drift, so you must fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. This SKU includes the CM round-end rear cover and the -S magnet for sensor mounting.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore double-acting cylinder uses a 1/4 inch port. It generates 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa. 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 is not a brake. If air loss occurs or the valve is centred, the piston will drift. For load holding, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve. The -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors to track position.
