The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X65SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 65mm 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 relies on a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends to soak up high-speed end-of-stroke shock. The riveted aluminium covers and SUS304 stainless barrel resist mild corrosion and washdown, while the JIS-standard round-body construction is notably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder of the same bore and stroke, saving valuable mounting length.
Equipped with a 1/4" port, an M10x1.25 male rod thread, and a CA rear pivot cover, the unit is primed for demanding cycles. The -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. For payload sizing, a safe working load is roughly 241 N, and it can vertically lift about 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety 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.
Handles 20 kg cartons at high cycle rates on a sorting line, using the variable air cushion to prevent harsh slams when shifting packages.
Secures mild steel workpieces for machining, delivering 402.2 N of clamping push force at 0.5 MPa without bouncing the fixture.
Raises lightweight tote bins in a washdown-prone packing zone, relying on the SUS304 stainless barrel to resist moisture.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, stepping down to the MFC25 provides 245.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, whereas moving up to the MFC40 yields 628.3 N. Choose this model when moving heavier masses at high speeds, as the adjustable air cushion is essential for decelerating the load smoothly and quietly compared to a fixed bumper.
Remember that the cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function as a brake. If your application must hold a load vertically during air loss or valve centering, fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve, as the piston will drift. Mounting is facilitated by the CA back cover pivot, and the integrated magnet (-S) supports position sensing.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4" 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 end of the stroke and acts purely as a shock absorber, not a brake. The piston will drift on air loss or valve centering, so you must use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for holding suspended loads.
