The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X600SCM 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.
Built for high-speed actuation, this double-acting JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder features a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends to decelerate the piston smoothly. The SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdown. Because the stroke of 600 mm exceeds the 500 mm standard maximum, this 32 mm bore variant is produced as a non-standard, made-to-order unit.
Delivering a push force of 402.2 N and a pull force of 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, it carries a 1/4" air port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread on its 12 mm piston rod. The riveted construction yields a mounting envelope that is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same bore and stroke. With a safe working load of roughly 241 N, it can vertically lift about 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The -S suffix equips the CM round-end rear cover with a piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.

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 packages along a sorting line over the 600 mm stroke, using the variable air cushion to halt the 402.2 N thrust gently without slamming.
Raises packaging materials weighing up to 20.5 kg, relying on the needle adjustment to prevent bounce at the top of the stroke.
Ejects bins from storage racks at speed, where the shorter JIS body saves critical axial space compared to an ISO 6432 cylinder.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, stepping down to the MFC25 lowers the 0.5 MPa push force to 245.3 N, while stepping up to the MFC40 raises it to 628.3 N. The variable air cushion is essential for heavy loads or high speeds up to 800 mm/s, as it absorbs end-of-stroke shock far better than a fixed bumper. This cylinder cannot hold a load on air loss; the piston drifts, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve for suspended masses. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, and TC trunnion, while the built-in magnet enables solid-state or reed sensor tracking.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder has a 1/4" port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 402.2 N and pulls with 345.6 N. At 0.7 MPa the push is 563 N and the pull is 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and never acts as a lock or brake. If air is lost, the piston drifts, so you need an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended load. The -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for position feedback.
