Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X600SCMLB
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X600SCMLB 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 MFC32X600SCMLB
Taming high-velocity impacts over a long 600 mm travel, the AirTAC MFC32X600SCMLB relies on a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends to decelerate the piston smoothly. As a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder, it features a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers, giving it a shorter overall body than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same bore and stroke. This 600 mm stroke is a non-standard, made-to-order length that exceeds the 500 mm standard maximum, tailored for extended-reach tasks.
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (563 N at 0.7 MPa) through a 1/4" port, this double-acting actuator fits right in the middle of the range. It yields a safe working load of roughly 241 N, or about 20.5 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The -S suffix equips the piston with a magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position switches, while the CM round-end rear cover and included LB foot bracket simplify mounting.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X600SCMLB Is Used
Long-Reach Diverting
Pushes packages across a wide sorting lane over its 600 mm travel, using the variable air cushion to stop the 402.2 N push stroke without slamming.
High-Bay Extraction
Extracts totes from deep shelving racks; the SUS304 stainless barrel shrinks mounting length versus ISO 6432 while resisting humid warehouse air.
Carton Forming Press
Extends to fold large corrugated blanks, relying on the 563 N push force at 0.7 MPa and the LB foot bracket to hold firm under rapid cycling.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X600SCMLB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore, stepping down to the MFC25 drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 245.3 N, whereas moving up to the MFC40 raises it to 628.3 N. The adjustable air cushion is essential for this 600 mm stroke because high traverse speeds build significant kinetic energy; the needle valve lets you dial in the exact end-of-stroke deceleration to protect the load. Note that the cushion only slows the piston near the end caps and does not act as a brake. If your application must hold position during an air loss or valve centre, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. The supplied LB foot bracket secures the body, and the -S magnet enables electronic or reed sensor tracking.
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 MFC32X600SCMLB FAQ
This 32 mm bore double-acting cylinder uses a 1/4" port and a 12 mm rod with an M10x1.25 male thread. It generates 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Note that 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; it is not a lock or brake, so the piston will drift on air loss. For vertical loads you must add an external rod lock or pilot check valve. The -S suffix means the piston has a built-in magnet for use with CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed and electronic sensors.
