The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X60SUTC 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 32 mm bore double-acting mini cylinder relies on a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends to decelerate high-speed loads smoothly. The riveted aluminium covers and SUS304 stainless barrel resist mild corrosion and washdown, while the JIS-standard round body is physically shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder of the same bore and stroke, saving valuable mounting length.
Equipped with a U flat-end rear cover and a TC trunnion mount, this 60 mm stroke unit includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. The 1/4" port and M10x1.25 male rod thread handle robust flow, and the cushioning only decelerates the piston near stroke end—it is not a lock or brake. For gravity loads, it provides a safe working load of about 241 N, lifting roughly 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

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.
Cushions the 402.2 N thrust when rapidly pushing parcels off a high-speed sorting line, reducing impact noise and mechanical wear.
Provides smooth end-of-stroke deceleration for a 60 mm stroke sealing head, preventing crushed flaps on heavy cartons.
Applies up to 82 kgf theoretical force at 1.0 MPa for seating small bearings, with the TC trunnion absorbing side loads.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, step down to an MFC25 for 245.3 N @0.5 MPa if shock absorption is less critical, or step up to an MFC40 for 628.3 N @0.5 MPa for heavier payloads. The variable air cushion is essential when cycling at high speeds or moving inertial loads, letting you dial in the exact end-of-stroke deceleration to protect your machinery.
Because air pressure alone cannot hold a load if air is lost or a valve is centred, the piston will drift; add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for suspended loads. The TC trunnion bracket suits pivoting articulation, and the -S magnet enables direct sensor mounting.
Quick checklist
This double-acting 32 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/4" port. 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 brake or lock. The piston will drift on air loss; use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for holding. The -S magnet supports CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
