Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X530SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X530SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 530mm 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 MFC32X530SCA
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore double-acting actuator tackles heavy-duty cycles while its adjustable air cushion at both ends absorbs high-speed end-of-stroke shock. The 530 mm stroke is a made-to-order length that exceeds the 500 mm standard maximum for this series. A built-in piston magnet (-S) enables direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for position sensing.
Built with a SUS304 stainless steel barrel and riveted aluminium covers, the JIS-standard round body resists mild corrosion and washdown environments. For the same bore and stroke, this compact design is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length. It features a 1/4" port, an M10x1.25 male rod thread, and a CA rear pivot cover. Based on the 0.5 MPa thrust, it handles a safe working load of roughly 241 N, lifting about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X530SCA Is Used
High-Speed Package Diverting
Uses the variable air cushion to smoothly decelerate heavy cartons at the end of a 530 mm transfer stroke without jarring the conveyor frame.
Automated Component Seating
Presses bearings or pins with 402.2 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa, relying on the CA pivot mount to accommodate slight misalignments during the press cycle.
Vertical Lift Gates
Lifts access panels weighing up to 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin, using the adjustable cushion to prevent hard slamming at the top of the stroke.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X530SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore unit, stepping down to the MFC25 yields 245.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, while moving up to the MFC40 provides 628.3 N. Choose this model when moving heavier masses at high speeds, as the variable needle-set air cushion is essential for decelerating the load smoothly. Note that the cushion only slows the piston near the end of the stroke; it does not function as a brake. If the application requires the load to be held during air loss or when a valve is centered, you must add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve, as the piston will drift. The -S magnet allows for sensor integration, and the CA back cover provides a rear pivot point for angular mounting.
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 MFC32X530SCA FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder features 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, increasing to 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 530 mm stroke is non-standard and made-to-order, exceeding the 500 mm standard maximum.
No, the variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of the stroke and does not act as a lock or brake. If air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, the piston will drift. To maintain a vertical load, you must install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The -S magnet supports CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors for position feedback.
