The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X375CM is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 375mm 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 32 mm bore mini cylinder tackles heavier duty cycles without the bulk of a tie-rod body. A needle-set variable air cushion at both ends soaks up end-of-stroke kinetic energy, letting you run at speeds up to 800 mm/s while protecting the payload from impact shock. The riveted aluminium covers and SUS304 stainless barrel shrug off mild corrosion and washdown environments.
For the same 375 mm stroke and 32 mm bore, the JIS-standard round-body housing is physically shorter than a comparable ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable machine footprint. This specific CM round-end rear cover configuration uses a 1/4" port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position switches. Factoring a 60% safety margin on the 0.5 MPa thrust yields a safe working load of roughly 241 N, which translates to lifting about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 ratio.

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 heavy packaging off a fast belt, relying on the needle-set air cushion to stop the 375 mm stroke silently without slamming.
Drives light-duty assembly pins into housings where a 241 N safe working load is required, with the CM rear cover allowing compact pivot mounting.
Raises small fixtures weighing up to 20.5 kg in a 2:1 margin setup, taking advantage of the shorter JIS body length to save vertical headroom.
If 245.3 N from the MFC25 is insufficient for your load, this 32 mm bore steps up the thrust to 402.2 N at 0.5 MPa; should you need even more power, the MFC40 pushes 628.3 N. The adjustable air cushion is essential when moving heavy masses at high velocity, as it decelerates the piston smoothly right before the end caps. Note that the cushion only slows the stroke and does not brake or lock the rod—if power drops, the piston drifts, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended load. You can mount this unit via LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot or TC trunnion, but remember this non-magnet version cannot host sensors.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore double-acting cylinder pushes 402.2 N and pulls 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, and pushes 563 N while pulling 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features a 1/4" air port, a 12 mm piston rod, and an M10x1.25 male rod thread.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for sensing. The SUS304 stainless build resists mild corrosion, and the variable air cushion at both ends only decelerates the piston near the stroke end—it will not lock or hold the load if air pressure is lost.
