Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X50CM
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X50CM 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 MFC32X50CM
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, the AirTAC MFC32X50CM is a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder built for double-acting operation. Its riveted aluminium covers and SUS304 stainless barrel resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. For the same bore and stroke, this unit is noticeably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length. The CM back cover provides a rounded rear mounting interface for this 50 mm stroke configuration.
A defining feature is the variable air cushion at both ends, allowing you to turn a needle to soak up high-speed end-of-stroke shock, protecting the load and cutting noise. Operating at speeds from 30 to 800 mm/s, it provides a safe working load of roughly 241 N. With a 2:1 safety margin, it lifts about 20.5 kg vertically. This SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take a sensor; adding the -S option enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The 1/4" port feeds the 12 mm rod with its M10x1.25 male thread.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X50CM Is Used
Package Diverting
Pushes parcels smoothly on a high-speed sorting line, using the adjustable air cushion to prevent harsh impacts at the 50 mm stroke end.
Light Press Fit
Applies up to 402.2 N of push force to seat small bearings, relying on the cushion needle to decelerate the rod before contact.
Flap Folding
Folds carton flaps rapidly in washdown-prone areas, benefiting from the SUS304 stainless barrel for mild corrosion resistance.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X50CM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore, evaluate both directions: step down to an MFC25 for 245.3 N @0.5 MPa if the load is lighter, or step up to an MFC40 for 628.3 N @0.5 MPa for heavier demands. The variable air cushion is essential when cycling at high speeds or moving substantial mass, as it decelerates the piston smoothly. Note that the cushion only slows the stroke near the end; it is not a brake. Because a plain cylinder does not hold position on air loss, use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for suspended loads. Mount via the CM round-end cover, LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion.
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 MFC32X50CM FAQ
This double-acting cylinder has a 1/4" port and a 12 mm rod. 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 a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for sensing. The variable air cushion at both ends only decelerates the piston near stroke end and does not lock or hold the load.
