Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X600SU
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X600SU 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 MFC32X600SU
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder tackles long-reach tasks with a 600 mm stroke. Because 600 mm exceeds the 500 mm standard maximum for this bore, the MFC32X600SU is produced as a made-to-order unit. The SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdown, while the flat-end U rear cover provides a clean mounting face. For the same bore and stroke, the MFC body is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable machine space.
The defining trait of the MFC series is the variable air cushion at both ends. By turning a needle, you tune the deceleration to soak up high-speed shock, protecting the load and cutting noise versus a simple bumper. The piston rod is 12 mm with an M10x1.25 male thread, and the air port is 1/4". The -S suffix means a built-in piston magnet is present, allowing CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches to track position. Based on the 0.5 MPa push figure, the safe working load is roughly 241 N, lifting about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X600SU Is Used
Long-Stroke Diverting
Pushes packages across a wide conveyor belt using the 600 mm reach, with the variable air cushion preventing harsh slamming at high cycling speeds.
Overhead Lowering
Lowers a 20 kg fixture smoothly; the needle-adjusted cushion decelerates the mass before the end of the down stroke to absorb impact shock.
High-Bay Extraction
Extracts totes from deep shelving racks where the extended stroke is required, relying on the SUS304 barrel for humid storage environments.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X600SU the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore, check both directions: if 402.2 N at 0.5 MPa is excessive, step down to the MFC25 which provides 245.3 N; if your payload is heavier, the MFC40 offers 628.3 N. The variable air cushion is essential for high-speed or heavy loads moving across the 600 mm stroke, as it lets you dial in the end-of-stroke deceleration. Remember the cushion only decelerates near the stroke end—it is not a lock or brake. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss or when a valve is centred, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold a suspended load. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot and TC trunnion.
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 MFC32X600SU FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder has a 1/4" air port and an M10x1.25 male rod 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.
No. The variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and acts purely as a shock absorber, never as a brake or lock. If air is lost, the piston will drift. For vertical load holding, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
