Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X50U
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X50U 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 MFC32X50U
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting 32 mm bore mini cylinder relies on a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends to soak up high-speed end-of-stroke shock. The riveted aluminium covers and SUS304 stainless barrel resist mild corrosion and washdown, while the flat U back cover provides a clean rear mounting face. For the same 32 mm bore and 50 mm stroke, the JIS-standard body is noticeably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable machine space.
Driven by a 12 mm rod with an M10x1.25 male thread and a 1/4" air port, it runs at 30-800 mm/s. Based on the 0.5 MPa thrust, expect a safe working load around 241 N, or a vertical lift of about 20.5 kg with a 2:1 margin. This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X50U Is Used
Package Diverting
Shifts parcels smoothly on a high-speed sorting line, using the adjustable cushion to halt the 50 mm stroke without slamming the diverter arm.
Carton Sealing Press
Drives a sealing head down onto boxes, relying on the 402.2 N push force and end-cushioning to prevent crushing the cardboard at rapid cycle rates.
Component Insertion
Pushes bearings into housings on an assembly track, where the needle-set deceleration protects fragile parts from impact at the stroke bottom.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X50U the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore, stepping down to the MFC25 yields 245.3 N @0.5 MPa, whereas the larger MFC40 provides 628.3 N @0.5 MPa. Choose this model when moving heavier masses at high speed, as the adjustable air cushion lets you dial in the exact deceleration to protect the load and cut noise. Remember the cushion only decelerates near the stroke end—it is not a brake. If you need to hold a vertical load during air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve. For mounting, pair the U back cover with 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 MFC32X50U FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4" air port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. It generates 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, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for sensing. The SUS304 stainless build resists washdown, and the variable air cushion at both ends only decelerates the piston near stroke end—it will not lock or hold the load on air loss.
