Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X450U
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X450U 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 MFC32X450U
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting MFC32X450U mini cylinder handles long 450 mm strokes with precision. The riveted aluminium covers and SUS304 stainless barrel resist mild corrosion and washdown, while the U-style flat-end rear cover supports direct mounting. For the same bore and stroke, this JIS-standard round body is noticeably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable machine space.
A variable air cushion at both ends lets you dial in the needle valve to absorb high-speed end-of-stroke shock, cutting noise and protecting the load better than a fixed bumper. 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. It uses a 1/4" port and a 12 mm rod. Note this SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X450U Is Used
Long-Stroke Diverting
Pushes heavy cartons across a 450 mm transfer gap, using the variable air cushion to stop the 402.2 N thrust smoothly without slamming.
Vertical Flap Folding
Folds large box flaps at speed; the needle-adjusted deceleration prevents tearing the cardboard at the stroke end.
Pallet Push-Off
Acts as a compact rejector for medium pallets, saving machine length because the riveted round body is shorter than an ISO 6432 unit.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X450U the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore, step down to an MFC25 for 245.3 N @0.5 MPa or up to an MFC40 for 628.3 N @0.5 MPa. The adjustable air cushion is essential if you are moving loads at high speed over the 450 mm travel, as it decelerates the piston smoothly. It 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. If you need position feedback, select the -S magnet version for switch readiness.
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 MFC32X450U FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.2 N and pulls 345.6 N. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 563 N and pulls 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This 32 mm bore model uses a 1/4" port and a 12 mm rod.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must order the -S variant for position sensing. The SUS304 stainless build and needle-adjustable dual air cushions are standard.
