Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X60SU
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X60SU 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 MFC32X60SU
Damping high-speed motion at 32 mm bore, the AirTAC MFC32X60SU relies on a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends to decelerate heavy loads smoothly instead of slamming them. This double-acting round-body mini cylinder pushes with 402.2 N and pulls with 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa, yielding a safe working load of roughly 241 N. With a 2:1 margin, it lifts about 20.5 kg vertically.
Built with a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers, the unit resists mild corrosion and washdown. Because the -S suffix equips the piston with a magnet, you can mount CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches for position sensing. The U flat-end back cover simplifies direct mounting, and the 1/4 inch port matches the 32 mm bore standard. For the same stroke and bore, this JIS body is physically shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable machine space.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X60SU Is Used
Package Diverting
Shifts medium-weight cartons at high speed across sorting lanes, using the adjustable air cushion to stop the 60 mm stroke gently without jarring the conveyor frame.
Light Pressing
Applies up to 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa to seat bearings or pins, relying on the riveted SUS304 body to withstand repetitive industrial impacts.
Flap Folding
Drives folding mechanisms on boxing machines where the 20.5 kg vertical lift capacity and needle-tuned deceleration prevent crushing delicate cardboard.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X60SU the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore, compare it directly against its neighbours: an MFC25 provides 245.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, while an MFC40 steps up to 628.3 N. Choose the MFC32 when your payload sits in that middle ground, and dial in the variable air cushions whenever cycle speeds approach the 30-800 mm/s range to prevent end-of-stroke shock.
Remember that the cushion needle only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function as a brake. If air pressure drops or the valve centres, the load will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for holding. The included -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors, and the U back cover gives a flat rear face for flush mounting.
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 MFC32X60SU FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4 inch 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 force of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of the stroke and acts purely as a damper, not a brake. If you need to hold a load during air loss, you must install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. The -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors to confirm position.
