Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X60SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X60SCA 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 MFC32X60SCA
Tame high-speed end-of-stroke shock with the AirTAC MFC32X60SCA, a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder featuring a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends. Driven by a 32 mm bore and 60 mm stroke, it generates 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it ideal for moderate payload positioning. Its SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers shrug off mild corrosion and washdown environments.
For the same bore and stroke, this riveted construction is noticeably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length. Equipped with a built-in piston magnet (-S), it supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for precise end-position sensing. Based on the 0.5 MPa push rating, it handles a safe working load of roughly 241 N, lifting about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The 1/4" port and M10x1.25 male rod thread ensure straightforward integration.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X60SCA Is Used
Package Diversion
Redirects small to medium parcels at high speed on a sorting line, relying on the 402.2 N thrust and adjustable air cushion to prevent harsh impacts during stroke reversal.
Component Clamping
Holds light metal or plastic parts securely for machining, using the 241 N safe working load to maintain position while the cushion absorbs rapid clamping shocks.
Vertical Lift Gate
Raises and lowers a 20 kg access flap in a clean environment, where the SUS304 stainless barrel resists humidity and the needle cushion ensures a soft landing at the top.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X60SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore unit, compare it directly with adjacent models: the MFC25 provides 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa if your payload is lighter, while stepping up to the MFC40 yields 628.3 N for heavier demands. Choose this MFC32 variant when operating at high speeds where the adjustable needle cushion is essential to decelerate the load smoothly and reduce noise. It includes a CA rear pivot cover for articulated mounting.
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 piston will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for suspended loads. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you can directly mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors without further modification.
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 MFC32X60SCA FAQ
This double-acting 32 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/4" air port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. It delivers a push force of 402.2 N and a pull force of 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push increases to 563 N and the pull to 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
It features a variable air cushion at both ends that uses a needle valve to trap and exhaust air, decelerating the piston to absorb high-speed shock. It is strictly a shock absorber, not a lock or brake; the piston will drift if air pressure is lost. For vertical loads, you must add an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
