The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X35SU 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, this double-acting JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder excels in compact, high-speed setups. The 32 mm bore pairs a SUS304 stainless steel barrel with riveted aluminium covers to resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. For the same bore and stroke, the MFC body is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length. A 1/4 inch port feeds the air supply.
The defining feature is the variable air cushion at both ends, which uses a needle valve to soak up end-of-stroke shock and cut noise at high speeds. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it is ready for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches. For vertical lifting, it handles about 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin, while the flat-end U back cover simplifies direct rear mounting.

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.
Snaps a 35 mm stroke to push parcels onto a side lane at high speed, relying on the variable air cushion to prevent harsh end impacts.
Uses the 402.2 N push force to knock stamped parts out of a die, with the SUS304 barrel enduring light coolant splash.
Raises lightweight component trays, safely managing roughly 20.5 kg of vertical load with a 2:1 safety margin.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, step down to the MFC25 for 245.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the MFC40 for 628.3 N if your load requires more thrust. The adjustable air cushion is essential when operating at high speeds or moving heavy masses, as it decelerates the piston smoothly near the stroke end.
Note that the cushion only slows the piston and is not a brake. A plain cylinder does not hold its load on air loss or when the valve is centered, as the piston will drift. To suspend a load safely, fit an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder has a 1/4 inch port and a 12 mm rod. It generates 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 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 acts purely as a shock absorber, not a brake. If air loss occurs or the valve is centered, the piston will drift. You must add an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a load.
