Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X450SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X450SCM 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 MFC32X450SCM
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting 32 mm bore mini cylinder handles long 450 mm strokes with precision. The variable air cushion at both ends lets you dial in a needle valve to absorb high-speed end-of-stroke shock, protecting your payload and cutting noise far better than a fixed bumper. Built with a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers, it resists mild corrosion and washdown environments.
For the same bore and stroke, the JIS-standard round-body design is noticeably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length. This specific SKU includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors, and features a CM round-end rear cover. Based on the 0.5 MPa push rating, it handles a safe working load of roughly 241 N, lifting about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. It uses a 1/4" port and a 12 mm rod with an M10x1.25 male thread.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X450SCM Is Used
Long-Travel Diverting
Pushes packages across a 450 mm conveyor lane using 402.2 N of thrust, relying on the tuned air cushion to stop the 32 mm piston gently without slamming.
Lowering Jigs
Lowers a 20 kg tooling head smoothly over 450 mm; the needle-set deceleration prevents harsh impact at the bottom of the stroke, protecting the jig alignment.
Shuttle Extraction
Extracts parts from a washdown station, where the SUS304 stainless barrel holds up to mild moisture while the CM rear cover mounts cleanly to the frame.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X450SCM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore, step down to the MFC25 for 245.3 N @0.5 MPa if your load is lighter, or move up to the MFC40 for 628.3 N @0.5 MPa if you need more thrust. The adjustable air cushion is essential for this 450 mm travel length if you are cycling at high speeds, as it decelerates the piston smoothly at both ends. Note that the cushion only slows the piston near stroke end; it does not act as a brake. Because a standard cylinder drifts when air pressure drops or a valve is centred, you must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold a suspended load safely. 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 MFC32X450SCM FAQ
This 32 mm bore double-acting cylinder uses a 1/4" port and generates 402.2 N push / 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 563 N push / 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa. Its theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No. The variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of the stroke to reduce shock; it is not a lock or brake. If you need to hold a load vertically during air loss, you must install an external rod lock or pilot check valve. The -S magnet on this model allows use with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
