The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X650SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 650mm 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 double-acting 32 mm bore mini cylinder handles long 650 mm strokes with precision. Because 650 mm exceeds the 500 mm standard, this CM back-cover variant is produced as a non-standard, made-to-order unit. The riveted SUS304 stainless barrel and aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdown environments.
A defining trait of the MFC series is the variable air cushion at both ends, allowing you to turn a needle to soak up high-speed end-of-stroke shock, cutting noise and protecting the load. It uses a 1/4" port and a two-way oil-retaining seal. For the same bore and stroke, the JIS-standard round body is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length. With a safe working load of roughly 241 N, it can vertically lift about 20.5 kg 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.
Pushes packages across a wide sorting lane using the full 650 mm stroke, relying on the variable air cushion to stop the 402.2 N thrust smoothly without slamming.
Raises lightweight access panels where the 32 mm bore provides ample force, while the SUS304 barrel withstands humid dock environments.
Actuates long folding arms at high speed, using the needle-set cushion to decelerate the mechanism gently and prevent mechanical shock.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, check both directions: the MFC25 provides 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa if your load is lighter, while the MFC40 offers 628.3 N for heavier demands. The variable air cushion is essential when cycling at high speeds or moving substantial masses, as it decelerates the piston smoothly near stroke end. Note that the cushion only slows the piston; it is not a lock or brake.
If your application must hold a load vertically during air loss or when a valve is centred, the piston will drift, so you should fit an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. This SKU includes the -S magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot and TC trunnion.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4" port and a male M10x1.25 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 does not act as a lock or brake. The piston will drift on air loss or when a valve is centred, so an external rod lock or pilot check valve is required for holding. The built-in -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors.
