Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X50SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X50SCM 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 MFC32X50SCM
Tame high-speed end-of-stroke impacts with the AirTAC MFC32X50SCM, a 32 mm bore double-acting mini cylinder equipped with a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends. Generating 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it safely carries a working load of about 241 N and lifts roughly 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.
Built with a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers, this JIS-standard round-body unit resists mild corrosion and washdown. For the same bore and stroke, the MFC body is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length. The -S suffix adds a piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches, while the CM round-end rear cover completes the 50 mm stroke assembly.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X50SCM Is Used
Package Diverting
Pushes cartons at high speed onto auxiliary lanes; the adjustable air cushion absorbs the 402.2 N impact energy to prevent jarring stops.
Light Press Fit
Drives small bearings into housings using the 241 N safe working load, relying on the cushion to decelerate the tooling before contact.
Vertical Lift Stop
Raises a 20.5 kg jig to an upper stop; the SUS304 body handles damp factory air while the cushion prevents slamming at the top.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X50SCM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore, compare it both ways: step down to an MFC25 for 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa if your load is lighter, or step up to an MFC40 for 628.3 N if you need more thrust. Engage the variable air cushion needle when operating at high speeds or moving heavy masses to decelerate the piston smoothly. Note that the cushion only slows the rod near stroke end; it is not a brake. Because a plain cylinder drifts on air loss or when a valve is centred, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if you must hold a load. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot and 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 MFC32X50SCM FAQ
This 32 mm bore double-acting cylinder uses a 1/4" air port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. It delivers 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the piston will drift if air is lost or the valve is centred. The variable air cushion only decelerates the rod near the end of stroke; it does not act as a lock or brake. Use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for position holding. The -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors for position feedback.
