The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X60CM 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.
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting 32 mm bore mini cylinder relies on a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends to decelerate high-speed strokes smoothly. The riveted SUS304 stainless barrel and aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdown, while the CM round-end rear cover keeps the footprint neat. For the same bore and stroke, this JIS-standard body is noticeably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length.
Driven by a 1/4" air port and a 12 mm rod with an M10x1.25 male thread, it handles a safe working load of roughly 241 N. That translates to lifting about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Note this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMG sensors.

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.
Shifts medium-weight cartons at speed, using the adjustable air cushion to stop the 60 mm stroke softly without jarring the conveyor frame.
Applies up to 402.2 N of push force for seating small bearings, with the needle valve tuned to prevent bounce at the stroke end.
Raises a 20 kg fixture reliably; pair with a pilot check valve to prevent the load from dropping if compressed air is lost.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, step down to an MFC25 for 245.3 N @0.5 MPa if your load is lighter, or move up to an MFC40 for 628.3 N @0.5 MPa when you need 628 N of push. The variable air cushion is essential for heavy or fast-moving loads, allowing you to dial in the end-of-stroke deceleration. Remember the cushion only slows the piston near the end of travel; it is not a brake. If the air supply drops, the piston will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended load. Mount via LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot or TC trunnion.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore double-acting cylinder uses a 1/4" air port. 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, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMG switches. You would need the -S variant for position sensing. The SUS304 stainless build and variable air cushion still make it highly durable for high-speed work.
