Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X450CA
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X450CA is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 450mm 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 MFC32X450CA
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, the AirTAC MFC32X450CA is a double-acting, JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder built for long-stroke, high-speed tasks. Its defining feature is the variable air cushion at both ends: a needle valve lets you dial in the deceleration to soak up end-of-stroke shock, protecting your load and cutting noise. The SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdown. For the same bore and stroke, this JIS body is noticeably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length.
This 32 mm bore unit uses a 1/4" port and a Ø12 mm rod with an M10x1.25 male thread. It yields a safe working load of roughly 241 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa push figure) and lifts around 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches. The CA rear pivot cover simplifies angular mounting on moving frames.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X450CA Is Used
High-Speed Carton Diversion
Uses the 402.2 N thrust to push heavy parcels across a sorting line, relying on the needle-set air cushion to stop the 450 mm stroke smoothly without jarring the mechanism.
Vertical Material Lift
Raises components weighing up to 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin, where the compact JIS body saves vertical space compared to a standard ISO 6432 unit.
Long-Reach Pouch Pressing
Extends across a wide packaging web to seal or press product, using the CA rear pivot to accommodate slight alignment shifts during the 450 mm travel.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X450CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore, step down to an MFC25 for 245.3 N @0.5 MPa if your load is lighter, or move up to an MFC40 for 628.3 N @0.5 MPa if you need more thrust. The adjustable air cushion is essential when cycling at high speeds or moving heavy masses over the 450 mm travel, as it prevents harsh end-of-stroke impacts. Remember that the cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it is not a brake. If your application must hold a load vertically on air loss or when a valve is centered, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve to stop drift. Choose the -S magnet variant if you require magnetic sensing.
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 MFC32X450CA FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4" port and a Ø12 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 force of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet, so it cannot accept 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 decelerates the piston near stroke end but does not lock the load.
