Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X600CA
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X600CA is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 600mm 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 MFC32X600CA
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting 32 mm bore mini cylinder handles long 600 mm strokes with precision. Because 600 mm exceeds the 500 mm standard limit for this series, this CA rear-pivot variant is manufactured as a non-standard, made-to-order unit. The JIS-standard round body uses a SUS304 stainless barrel with riveted aluminium covers, offering excellent mild corrosion and washdown resistance.
A defining feature is the variable air cushion at both ends, which uses a needle valve to absorb high-speed end-of-stroke shock, protecting your payload and cutting noise. For the same bore and stroke, the MFC body is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length. Based on the 0.5 MPa push rating, it handles a safe working load of about 241 N, lifting roughly 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. It features a 1/4" port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X600CA Is Used
Long-Reach Diversion
Pushes heavy cartons across a 600 mm conveyor lane, using the adjustable air cushion to stop the 402.2 N thrust smoothly without slamming.
Extended Stroke Sealing
Drives a sealing head over deep packaging trays, relying on the SUS304 stainless barrel to endure routine washdowns.
High-Speed Sorting
Actuates a pivot arm to route totes at high cycle speeds, with the needle-set cushion absorbing the shock at the stroke ends.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X600CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this class, step down to the MFC25 (245.3 N push @0.5 MPa) for lighter duties, or step up to the MFC40 (628.3 N push @0.5 MPa) if your load exceeds 241 N. The adjustable air cushion is essential for high-speed or heavy moving loads, allowing you to dial in the exact deceleration needed at stroke end. Note that this cushion only decelerates the piston; it does not lock or brake the load. If air pressure drops, the piston will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve for strict position holding.
This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet option and therefore cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches; choose an -S variant if you require position sensing. Mounting is facilitated by the CA rear pivot cover, while the front cover includes a fixed anti-impact pad for additional protection.
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 MFC32X600CA FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder has 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, 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum force of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 600 mm stroke is a non-standard, made-to-order length.
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 position sensing. The cylinder features a SUS304 stainless barrel and a CA rear pivot cover for mounting.
