Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X50SCATC
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X50SCATC 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 MFC32X50SCATC
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore double-acting mini cylinder is built around a JIS-standard round body. The SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. For the same bore and stroke, the MFC body is notably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length without sacrificing the 50 mm stroke.
A defining feature here is the variable air cushion at both ends: a needle valve lets you dial in the deceleration to absorb high-speed end-of-stroke shock, protecting the load and cutting noise. This SKU includes the -S piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors, a CA rear pivot cover, and a TC trunnion mount. Factoring a 2:1 safety margin, it lifts about 20.5 kg vertically, equating to a safe working load of roughly 241 N. The 1/4" port and M10x1.25 male rod thread handle the air and linkage demands effortlessly.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X50SCATC Is Used
Package Diverting
Uses the 402.2 N push force to deflect medium-weight cartons on a sorter at speed, relying on the variable air cushion to stop the 50 mm stroke without slamming.
Light Pressing
Applies steady clamping pressure for small component assembly, where the TC trunnion mount accommodates slight misalignment during the actuation cycle.
Vertical Lift Stops
Raises lightweight tote bins up to 20.5 kg against gravity, using the needle-set cushion to soften the deceleration at the top of the stroke.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X50SCATC the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore, stepping down to an MFC25 yields 245.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to an MFC40 provides 628.3 N. This model hits a solid middle ground for moderate loads. The adjustable air cushion is essential when cycling at high speeds or moving heavy masses, as it prevents harsh end-of-stroke impacts. Note that the cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function as a lock or brake.
If your application must hold position during an air loss or when a valve is centred, the piston will drift. You should pair this cylinder with an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The included TC trunnion mount works alongside the CA back cover for pivoting articulation, and the -S magnet enables solid state or reed switch 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 MFC32X50SCATC FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder has a 1/4" port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. 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. The variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of the stroke to reduce shock; it is not a brake or lock. If air is lost or the valve is centred, the piston will drift. Use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for load holding. The -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors for position tracking.
