The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X700SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 700mm 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 integrates a needle-adjustable variable air cushion at both ends to absorb high-speed end-of-stroke shock. The 700 mm stroke is a made-to-order non-standard length, exceeding the 500 mm maximum standard stroke for this series, and the SKU includes an -S piston magnet along with a CM round-end rear cover.
Built with a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers, the JIS-standard round body resists mild corrosion and washdown environments. For the same bore and stroke, the MFC is noticeably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length. Operating at 30-800 mm/s on a 1/4" port, it provides a safe working load of about 241 N and lifts 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.
Pushes packages across a sorting line over a 700 mm span, using the needle air cushion to stop the 402.2 N thrust smoothly without slamming.
Lowers a 20 kg tooling head vertically; the adjustable cushion decelerates the descent at the bottom to protect the workpiece from impact damage.
Acts as a shock-absorbing stop for inbound pallets, relying on the SUS304 stainless body to withstand damp dock environments.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, stepping down to the MFC25 yields 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa, while moving up to the MFC40 provides 628.3 N. The variable air cushion is essential if you are moving heavy loads at high speed, as it decelerates the piston smoothly near the stroke ends. Note that the cushion only slows the piston and does not act as a brake; the cylinder will drift if air pressure is lost, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you need to hold a suspended load.
The included -S magnet enables position sensing with CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot and TC trunnion brackets to suit your layout.
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, increasing to 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The 700 mm stroke is non-standard and made-to-order, as it exceeds the 500 mm standard maximum. The variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and does not lock or hold the load; you must use an external rod lock or pilot check valve to prevent drifting on air loss.
