Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X50CA
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X50CA is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 50mm 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 MFC32X50CA
Tame high-speed end-of-stroke shock with the AirTAC MFC32X50CA, a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder built with a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers. The variable air cushion at both ends lets you dial in the deceleration needle to protect payloads, a major upgrade over fixed rubber bumpers. Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it carries a safe working load of roughly 241 N, lifting about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.
This double-acting actuator features a 32 mm bore, a 12 mm rod, and a 1/4 inch air port. For the same bore and stroke, the compact riveted body is noticeably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable machine space. This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors; add the -S option if you need position detection. The CA rear pivot cover simplifies angular mounting requirements.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X50CA Is Used
Package Diverting
Handles 20 kg cartons at high cycle rates on a sorting line, using the adjustable air cushion to silently absorb the 50 mm stroke impact without jarring the contents.
Light Press Fit
Applies up to 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa to seat small bearings, relying on the CA pivot mount to accommodate slight misalignment during the press.
Flap Folding
Drives a folding arm on a packaging machine where the SUS304 stainless barrel resists washdown, while the needle-set cushion prevents harsh banging at 800 mm/s.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X50CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore, check both extremes: step down to an MFC25 for 245.3 N @0.5 MPa if your load is lighter, or step up to an MFC40 for 628.3 N @0.5 MPa if you need more thrust. The variable air cushion is essential when cycling at high speeds or moving heavy masses, allowing you to tune the end-of-stroke deceleration. Remember the cushion only slows the piston near the end of travel; it is not a brake. If your application must hold a vertical load during air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve, because the piston will drift. Along with the CA rear pivot, you can use LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot-block, or TC trunnion mounts to fit your frame.
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 MFC32X50CA FAQ
This double-acting cylinder has a 32 mm bore, a 12 mm rod, and a 1/4 inch port. It generates 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. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must select the -S variant for position sensing. It features a SUS304 stainless barrel and a variable air cushion at both ends, but the cushion only decelerates the load; it does not lock or hold position on air loss.
