Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X60U
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X60U 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 MFC32X60U
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting mini cylinder relies on a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends to soak up high-speed end-of-stroke shock. The 32 mm bore pairs a SUS304 stainless steel barrel with riveted aluminium covers to resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. Fitted with a U flat-end rear cover, its JIS-standard round-body construction is notably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same 60 mm stroke, saving valuable mounting length.
Driven by a 1/4" air port and a 12 mm piston rod with an M10x1.25 male thread, it operates at speeds from 30 to 800 mm/s. Based on the 0.5 MPa push rating, it handles a safe working load of roughly 241 N and lifts about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note this specific SKU lacks a magnet, meaning it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors; order the -S variant if position detection is required.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X60U Is Used
Package Diverting
Uses the 402.2 N push force to deflect medium-weight cartons on a sorting line, with the tuned air cushion preventing harsh slams at 800 mm/s.
Light Pressing
Applies steady clamping pressure for small component assembly, benefiting from the compact JIS body to fit within tight multi-station fixtures.
Pallet Stops
Halts advancing pallets using the U flat-end cover, absorbing the kinetic energy smoothly via the adjustable needle valve to reduce mechanical noise.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X60U the Right Cylinder?
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 substantially more thrust. The variable air cushion is essential for high-speed or heavy moving loads, allowing you to tune the deceleration and prevent end-cap impact. Remember that the cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end; it is not a brake. If the machine loses air, the piston will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for secure load holding.
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 MFC32X60U FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4" air port and generates 402.2 N push / 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 563 N push / 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa. Its theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet and therefore cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. You must select the -S variant to enable position sensing. The SUS304 stainless build and variable air cushions are standard across the range.
