Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X60CA
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X60CA is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 60mm 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 MFC32X60CA
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, the AirTAC MFC32X60CA is a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder built for double-acting operation. A variable air cushion at both ends lets you dial in the needle valve to absorb high-speed end-of-stroke shock, protecting your payload and lowering shop noise far better than a fixed rubber bumper. The riveted SUS304 stainless barrel and aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdown, while the included CA rear pivot cover simplifies rear-clevis mounting.
For the same 32 mm bore and 60 mm stroke, this cylinder is notably shorter than an ISO 6432 unit, saving valuable machine footprint without sacrificing power. Operating pressure spans 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, and the 1/4" port feeds a 12 mm rod with an M10x1.25 male thread. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches. Based on the 0.5 MPa thrust, expect a safe working load around 241 N, or roughly 20.5 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X60CA Is Used
Package Diverting
Uses the 402.2 N thrust to push parcels off a high-speed belt, relying on the adjustable air cushion to stop the 60 mm stroke smoothly without jarring the mechanism.
Component Seating
Presses bearings or pins into housings on an automated line, where the variable cushion prevents impact damage to delicate metal parts at cycle end.
Pallet Stops
Acts as a rugged stop gate for medium-weight pallets, using the CA pivot mount to absorb side loads as loads contact the 12 mm rod.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X60CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore, compare it directly against adjacent models: the MFC25 provides 245.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger MFC40 steps up to 628.3 N. Choose the MFC32X60CA when your application requires moderate force and high cycling speeds where the adjustable air cushion is essential to prevent harsh impacts. If you need position feedback, you must select the -S magnet version to mount sensors.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function as a brake. If air pressure drops or the valve is centered, the cylinder will not hold its load and the rod will drift. For vertical or suspended loads that must remain fixed during a power loss, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
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 MFC32X60CA FAQ
This double-acting cylinder features a 1/4" port and a 12 mm rod. It generates 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need to order the -S variant for position sensing. The SUS304 stainless build and adjustable air cushion are standard across the series.
