Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X380SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X380SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 380mm 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 MFC32X380SCM
Tuned for high-speed cycling, the AirTAC MFC32X380SCM relies on a variable air cushion at both ends to absorb end-of-stroke shock, protecting your payload and reducing noise far better than a fixed bumper. This double-acting JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder pairs a SUS304 stainless steel barrel with riveted aluminium covers to withstand mild corrosion and washdown environments.
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore model provides a safe working load of roughly 241 N and lifts about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The 380 mm stroke unit features a CM round-end rear cover, a 1/4" port, and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. Because it carries the -S suffix, a built-in piston magnet enables direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X380SCM Is Used
Package Diversion
Shifts medium-weight cartons at high speed across sorting lanes, relying on the 402.2 N push force and adjustable cushion to halt the 380 mm stroke smoothly without jarring the belt.
Pallet Loading
Pushes product layers into palletizing fixtures, using the variable air cushion to decelerate the payload safely at the end of the 380 mm extension.
Component Seating
Presses bushings or bearings into housings on an automated line, where the built-in magnet confirms end-of-stroke position and the cushion prevents impact damage.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X380SCM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore, step down to the MFC25 if your load requires only 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the MFC40 for heavier payloads demanding 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa. The adjustable needle cushion proves essential when moving heavy masses at high speeds, allowing precise deceleration before the end of travel.
Remember that the air cushion strictly decelerates the piston near stroke end and never acts as a lock or brake. If your application must hold a load during air loss or valve centering, the piston will drift; install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. For position feedback, the -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors, while the CM back cover and standard mounts handle installation.
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 MFC32X380SCM FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/4" air port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. It generates 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 force of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and does not lock or hold the load on air loss. The -S suffix denotes a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches, and the SUS304 stainless build resists mild washdown.
