Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X450SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X450SCA 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 MFC32X450SCA
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting 32 mm bore mini cylinder tackles long 450 mm strokes with precision. A variable air cushion at both ends lets you dial in the needle valve to absorb high-speed end-of-stroke shock, protecting your payload and cutting workshop noise. The -S suffix equips the piston with a built-in magnet for position sensing.
Built with a SUS304 stainless steel barrel and riveted aluminium covers, the JIS-standard round-body construction resists mild corrosion and washdown environments. For the same bore and stroke, this compact body is noticeably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder. It carries a CA rear pivot cover, a 1/4 inch air port, and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. Factoring a 2:1 safety margin, it safely lifts about 20.5 kg vertically.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X450SCA Is Used
Long-Stroke Diverting
Pushes packages across a 450 mm conveyor gap; the adjustable air cushion halts the 402.2 N thrust smoothly without jarring the products.
Vertical Lift Gates
Raises lightweight access doors; the CA pivot handles the side loads while the cushion prevents slamming at the top of the stroke.
Carton Forming Press
Extends to fold large corrugated flaps; the stainless barrel resists humid packing rooms while the magnet enables cycle counting.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X450SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore, stepping down to the MFC25 drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 245.3 N, while moving up to the MFC40 increases it to 628.3 N. The variable air cushion is essential here: a 450 mm stroke builds significant piston momentum at high speeds, and the adjustable needle soaks up that kinetic energy smoothly at both ends. Keep operating speed between 30-800 mm/s for optimal deceleration.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function as a lock or brake. If your application must hold a load vertically during air loss or valve centering, the piston will drift, so you must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. The included -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches, and the CA back cover pairs with standard pivot mounts.
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 MFC32X450SCA FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4 inch air port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. It generates 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 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 end of the stroke and acts purely as a shock absorber, never as a brake. If air loss occurs, the piston will drift, so you should install an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold suspended loads securely.
