Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X50SU
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X50SU 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 MFC32X50SU
Dial in end-of-stroke deceleration with the AirTAC MFC32X50SU, a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder built for double-acting service. An adjustable needle valve governs the variable air cushion at both ends, letting you tune out high-speed shock and noise that a fixed bumper cannot absorb. The riveted aluminium covers and SUS304 stainless barrel resist mild corrosion and washdown, while the U flat-end rear cover keeps the footprint neat.
At 32 mm bore and 50 mm stroke, this unit pushes 402.2 N and pulls 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, peaking at an 82 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. Because the body is shorter than a comparable ISO 6432 cylinder for the same envelope, it saves mounting length without surrendering power. The -S suffix adds a piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches, and the 1/4" port feeds a 12 mm rod with an M10x1.25 male thread. Expect a safe working load around 241 N, or roughly 20.5 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X50SU Is Used
Package Diverting
Routing heavier cartons at high speed onto secondary lines relies on the 402.2 N push force, while the needle-tuned air cushion halts the 50 mm stroke gently to protect the package edges.
Light Press Fit
Pressing small bearings or dowel pins benefits from the 241 N safe working load, and the adjustable end cushion prevents the 12 mm rod from bottoming out harshly during rapid repetitive cycles.
Vertical Lift Stops
Raising a 20.5 kg gate or tote uses the double-acting pull force, with the U flat-end rear cover allowing compact top mounting while the cushion softens the downward return impact.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X50SU the Right Cylinder?
If 245.3 N from the MFC25 is too light and 628.3 N from the MFC40 is overkill, this 32 mm bore splits the difference perfectly at 402.2 N push force at 0.5 MPa. Step up to the 40 mm bore if your payload exceeds the 241 N safe working load, or drop to the 25 mm if you only need light positioning. The variable air cushion is essential when cycling at the upper end of the 30-800 mm/s speed range with a heavy payload, as it prevents harsh end-of-stroke slamming.
Remember that the cushion needle only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it is not a brake. If air pressure drops or the valve is centred, the rod will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold a suspended load. The built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors, and you can mount the cylinder using LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot or TC trunnion brackets.
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 MFC32X50SU FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.2 N and pulls 345.6 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 563 N and pulls 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a 1/4" air port, a 12 mm rod, and an M10x1.25 male rod thread.
The -S indicates a built-in piston magnet so you can mount CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches for position detection. The variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end to reduce shock; it is not a lock or brake, so you need an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a load on air loss.
