Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X60SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X60SCM 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 MFC32X60SCM
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting 32 mm bore mini cylinder is built around a JIS-standard round body with a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers. The MFC32X60SCM configuration includes a 60 mm stroke, a 1/4 inch air port, an M10x1.25 male rod thread, and a CM round-end rear cover. A two-way oil-retaining seal and a fixed anti-impact pad on the front cover support reliable operation across a 30-800 mm/s speed range.
The defining feature is the variable air cushion at both ends, which uses a needle valve to absorb high-speed end-of-stroke shock, protecting the load and cutting noise. For the same bore and stroke, the riveted body is noticeably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length. The -S suffix adds a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. Based on the 0.5 MPa push rating, expect a safe working load around 241 N, or a vertical lift of roughly 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X60SCM Is Used
Package Diverting
Handles 20 kg cartons at high cycle rates on a sorting line, using the adjustable air cushion to prevent harsh slams when reversing direction.
Light Press Fit
Pushes bearings into housings with 241 N of safe working force, relying on the 60 mm stroke and smooth deceleration to protect delicate tooling.
Vertical Lift Gates
Raises and lowers access flaps in a washdown zone, benefiting from the SUS304 stainless barrel and the CM round-end rear cover for compact pivoting.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X60SCM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore, check both directions: step down to the MFC25 for 245.3 N @0.5 MPa if the load is lighter, or move up to the MFC40 for 628.3 N @0.5 MPa for heavier demands. The variable air cushion is essential when cycling at high speeds or moving substantial mass, as it decelerates the piston smoothly near the end caps. Note that this cushion only slows the piston; it does not act as a brake. If the application requires the load to be held in place during air loss or when a valve is centered, you must add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve, as the piston will drift.
Mounting flexibility is provided through LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, and TC trunnion options. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it is fully ready for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensing out of the box.
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 MFC32X60SCM FAQ
This 32 mm bore double-acting cylinder has a 1/4 inch air port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. It generates 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and is not a lock or brake. The piston will drift on air loss or when a valve is centered; for vertical holding, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve. The -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors to track position.
