Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X50UTC
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X50UTC 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 MFC32X50UTC
Taming high-speed end-of-stroke shock is the core strength of this 32 mm bore, 50 mm stroke actuator. An adjustable needle valve at both ends lets you dial in the exact deceleration required to protect payloads, a major upgrade over fixed rubber bumpers. It pushes with 402.2 N and pulls with 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, yielding a safe working load of roughly 241 N or a 2:1 vertical lift capacity of about 20.5 kg.
Built as a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder, it features a SUS304 stainless steel barrel and riveted aluminium covers that resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. For the same bore and stroke, the riveted construction makes the body shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length. This specific U-flat rear cover and TC trunnion configuration uses a 1/4" port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position switches.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X50UTC Is Used
Package Diverting
Snaps a 50 mm stroke diverter arm into place at speed. The needle-set air cushion absorbs the 402.2 N thrust impact, preventing the 32 mm piston from slamming the rear cover.
Light Press Fit
Drives small bearings or pins with a safe working load near 241 N. The adjustable deceleration ensures the part seats smoothly without bouncing, unlike a rigid bumper stop.
Vertical Lift Stop
Raises a 20.5 kg jig using the 0.5 MPa push force. A pilot check valve must be added to hold the load, while the cushion softens the arrival at the top of the 50 mm stroke.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X50UTC the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore, check both extremes: 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 if you need more thrust. The variable air cushion is essential when cycling at high speeds 30-800 mm/s or moving heavy masses, as it prevents harsh impacts. For vertical or suspended loads, remember the cushion only decelerates near the stroke end and acts purely as a shock absorber, never a brake. You must fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold position if air pressure drops. The included TC trunnion mount pairs with the U flat-end back cover for pivoting articulation.
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 MFC32X50UTC FAQ
This 32 mm bore double-acting cylinder uses 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 force of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches cannot be used. You would need the -S variant for sensing. The SUS304 stainless barrel resists mild corrosion, and the TC trunnion mount allows pivoting articulation.
