Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X50SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X50SCA 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 MFC32X50SCA
Dial in end-of-stroke deceleration with the AirTAC MFC32X50SCA, a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder built for high-speed actuation. A needle-adjustable variable air cushion at both ends absorbs shock, protecting your payload far better than a fixed bumper. The SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdown, while the built-in piston magnet (-S) enables direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
Generating 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting 32 mm bore unit is a robust mid-range actuator. It features a 1/4" air port and a CA rear pivot cover. For the same bore and stroke, the MFC body is noticeably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length. 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 margin.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X50SCA Is Used
Package Diverting
Handles mid-weight boxes at high cycle rates, using the adjustable air cushion to softly stop the 50 mm stroke without jarring the conveyor frame.
Component Seating
Pushes bearings or pins into housings with 402.2 N of force, relying on the needle-set deceleration to prevent damage at the end of travel.
Vertical Lift Gates
Raises lightweight access doors or guards, safely lifting around 20.5 kg while the SUS304 barrel withstands humid or mildly washdown environments.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X50SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore, compare it directly with adjacent bores: 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 when you need heavy thrust. The variable air cushion is essential when cycling at high speeds or moving heavy masses, letting you tweak the needle to eliminate end-of-stroke banging. Note that the cushion only decelerates the piston; it does not lock the load. If you need to hold position vertically during air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve. The CA back cover provides a rear pivot point, and the -S magnet supports position sensing.
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 MFC32X50SCA FAQ
This double-acting 32 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/4" air 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.
It features a variable air cushion at both ends that uses a needle valve to trap and exhaust air, decelerating the piston near stroke end to reduce shock. It is not a brake and will not hold a load if air pressure drops; use an external rod lock for holding. The -S suffix means it has a magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
