Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X400SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X400SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 400mm 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 MFC32X400SCM
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder handles long 400 mm strokes with precision. The SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. Equipped with a CM round-end rear cover, its overall body length is notably shorter than a comparable ISO 6432 cylinder for the same bore and stroke, saving valuable mounting space.
A defining feature is the variable air cushion at both ends; a needle valve lets you tune the deceleration to absorb high-speed end-of-stroke shock, protecting the load and cutting noise. The 1/4" port feeds the 12 mm rod to yield a safe working load of roughly 241 N, or about 60 percent of the 0.5 MPa push figure. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it directly supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X400SCM Is Used
High-Speed Package Diverting
Pushes cartons across sorting lanes at high speed; the tuned air cushion halts the 400 mm stroke smoothly without jarring the conveyor frame.
Vertical Material Lifting
Raises lightweight tote bins; with a 2:1 safety margin it lifts about 20.5 kg vertically, while the SUS304 barrel withstands humid dock environments.
Pallet Insertion Tooling
Extends packaging inserts into deep cases; the 1/4" port delivers ample flow to maintain cycle speed, and the -S magnet confirms full extension.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X400SCM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore, verify your force needs both ways: the smaller MFC25 provides 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa, while the larger MFC40 offers 628.3 N. Choose this MFC32 model when your application sits in the middle and requires a 400 mm travel. The adjustable air cushion is essential if you are moving loads at high speed across that long stroke, as it prevents harsh impacts. For mounting flexibility, you can use LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion brackets. Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function as a lock. If you need to hold a vertical load safely during air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
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 MFC32X400SCM FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4" port and a 12 mm rod. 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 of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the piston will drift on air loss. The variable air cushion at both ends only decelerates the piston near the stroke end to reduce shock; it is not a brake or lock. You must use an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a load.
