The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X600SCA 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.
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting 32 mm bore mini cylinder tackles demanding actuation with a 600 mm stroke. Because 600 mm exceeds the 500 mm standard limit for this series, this specific configuration is manufactured as a non-standard, made-to-order unit. The variable air cushion at both ends allows you to dial in the needle valve to absorb high-speed end-of-stroke shock, protecting your payload and cutting noise.
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, the MFC body is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length. The integrated -S piston magnet supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG position switches, while the CA rear pivot cover simplifies angular mounting. Based on the 0.5 MPa push rating, it handles a safe working load of roughly 241 N, lifting about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

MF-family variants: MF / MFC (double acting ±cushion), MSF / MTF (single acting push / pull), MFD / MFCD (double rod ±cushion), MFJ / MFCJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
Pushes heavy packages across a 600 mm transfer gap using 402.2 N of thrust, relying on the needle-set air cushion to stop the 12 mm rod smoothly at high speed.
Lifts packaging film rolls weighing up to 20.5 kg vertically, with the CA pivot cover accommodating slight misalignment during the extended upward travel.
Shifts stainless machine guards in damp food-processing lines, where the SUS304 barrel resists mild corrosion and the riveted body handles repetitive cycling.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, step down to the MFC25 for 245.3 N @0.5 MPa or up to the MFC40 for 628.3 N @0.5 MPa. The adjustable air cushion is essential for the 30-800 mm/s speed range when moving heavier masses, ensuring smooth deceleration. Note that the cushion only slows the piston near stroke end—it is not a lock or brake.
If air pressure drops or the valve is centered, the piston will drift and cannot hold a load; install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for secure positioning. This unit features a 1/4" port, an M10x1.25 male rod thread, and the CA back cover. The -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors for drop-in detection.
Quick checklist
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, 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 600 mm stroke is a non-standard made-to-order length exceeding the 500 mm standard maximum.
No, the variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and acts purely as a shock absorber, not a brake or lock. If air pressure drops or the directional valve is centered, the piston will drift and drop the load. For vertical or suspended loads, you must install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
