Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X450CM
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X450CM 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 MFC32X450CM
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore double-acting mini cylinder handles long 450 mm strokes with precision. The MFC32X450CM features a variable air cushion at both ends, allowing you to dial in a needle valve to absorb high-speed end-of-stroke shock, protecting your payload and cutting noise. Its JIS-standard round-body construction uses a SUS304 stainless barrel with riveted aluminium covers, offering excellent mild corrosion and washdown resistance.
For the same bore and stroke, this riveted body is notably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length. Operating at speeds of 30-800 mm/s, it provides a safe working load of roughly 241 N, or lifts about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The 1/4" port and M10x1.25 male rod thread ensure robust pneumatic connections, while the CM round-end back cover suits compact pivot or direct-mount installations.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X450CM Is Used
Long-Stroke Diverting
Pushes packages across a 450 mm conveyor lane, using the variable air cushion to stop the 402.2 N thrust smoothly without jarring the product.
Vertical Material Lift
Raises lightweight totes up to 20.5 kg in a sorting hub, relying on the SUS304 stainless barrel to resist humid washdown environments.
Component Indexing
Advances a machining fixture 450 mm at high speed, where the needle-set cushion absorbs kinetic energy to protect the workpiece from end-stop shock.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X450CM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore, stepping down to the MFC25 yields 245.3 N @0.5 MPa, whereas moving up to the MFC40 provides 628.3 N @0.5 MPa. Choose this model when moving heavier loads at high speeds where the adjustable air cushion is essential to prevent impact damage. Note that the cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not act as a brake or lock. If your application requires the load to be held vertically on air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet and therefore cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches. If position sensing is required along the 450 mm travel, select the -S variant instead. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, and TC trunnion brackets.
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 MFC32X450CM FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder delivers 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It has a 12 mm rod, a 1/4" port, an M10x1.25 male rod thread, and operates at 30-800 mm/s.
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 position sensing. The cylinder does feature a SUS304 stainless barrel and a CM round-end cover, but its air cushion only decelerates the load; it will not hold position if air pressure is lost.
