The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X45SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 45mm 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.
Tuned for high-speed cycling, the variable air cushion at both ends of this 32 mm bore actuator uses a needle valve to absorb end-of-stroke shock, protecting the payload and cutting noise. The MFC32X45SCM is a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder featuring a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers that resist mild corrosion and washdown environments.
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it carries a built-in piston magnet for position sensing and a CM round-end rear cover. The body is notably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same 45 mm stroke, saving mounting length. Based on the 0.5 MPa thrust, expect a safe working load around 241 N, lifting about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

MF-family variants: MF / MFC (double acting ±cushion), MSF / MTF (single acting push / pull), MFD / MFCD (double rod ±cushion), MFJ / MFCJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
Shifts light cartons at high speed with the needle-set air cushion preventing harsh slams at the 45 mm stroke end.
Uses the 402.2 N push force to knock parts out of a jig, relying on the SUS304 barrel for shop-floor durability.
Drives a sealing jaw with smooth deceleration, where the shorter-than-ISO-6432 body saves valuable machine space.
If 245.3 N from the MFC25 is insufficient, this 32 mm bore provides the step up you need; for heavier rigs, the MFC40 outputs 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa. The adjustable air cushion is essential when moving loads at high speed, though it only decelerates near the stroke end and will not hold the load on air loss—for a suspended load, fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
This SKU includes the -S magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. You can mount it via LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot or TC trunnion, and the 1/4" port accepts PT, G or NPT threads.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder has a 1/4" port and a 12 mm rod with an M10x1.25 male thread. It pushes 402.2 N and pulls 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, pushes 563 N and pulls 483.8 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical max of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the piston will drift on air loss. The variable air cushion only decelerates the load near the stroke end and acts purely as a shock absorber, never as a lock or brake. To hold a suspended load securely, you must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
