Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X430SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X430SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 430mm 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 MFC32X430SCM
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder handles long 430 mm strokes with precision. The riveted aluminium covers and SUS304 stainless steel barrel resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. For the same bore and stroke, the MFC body is notably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length.
A defining feature is the variable air cushion at both ends, allowing you to turn a needle to soak up high-speed end-of-stroke shock, protecting the load and cutting noise. The -S suffix means a built-in piston magnet is present for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. Based on the 0.5 MPa push rating, it handles a safe working load of about 241 N, lifting roughly 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X430SCM Is Used
Long-Stroke Diverting
Pushes packages across a 430 mm conveyor lane smoothly, using the variable cushion to stop the 402.2 N thrust without slamming.
Vertical Lift Gate
Raises a light access panel, safely managing the roughly 20.5 kg vertical load while the cushion absorbs the top-end impact.
Carton Forming Arm
Extends to fold large corrugated blanks, relying on the SUS304 barrel to endure occasional washdown in food packing areas.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X430SCM the Right Cylinder?
If 245.3 N from the MFC25 is insufficient, this 32 mm bore provides the necessary step up; should you need even more power, the MFC40 offers 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa. The adjustable cushion is essential when cycling heavy loads at high speeds, as it decelerates the piston smoothly. It operates at 30-800 mm/s with a 1/4" port.
This unit includes a CM round-end back cover. Remember that the air cushion only decelerates near the stroke end and is not a lock; the piston will drift on air loss, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended load.
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 MFC32X430SCM FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder has a 1/4" port and a 12 mm rod with an M10x1.25 male 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 of 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, never as a brake. If air is lost, the piston will drift; for vertical loads you must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. The -S magnet enables position sensing with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
