The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X70SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 70mm 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 tackles high-speed actuation with precision. The integrated variable air cushion at both ends lets you dial in the needle valve to absorb end-of-stroke shock, protecting your payload while cutting operating noise. A built-in piston magnet (-S) enables direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for position sensing.
Built with a SUS304 stainless steel barrel and riveted aluminium covers, the JIS-standard round-body design resists mild corrosion and washdown environments. For the same bore and stroke, this compact unit is notably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length. It features a 1/4" port, an M10x1.25 male rod thread, and a CA rear pivot cover for articulated mounting.

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 stroke when rapidly routing heavier packages on a sorting line, preventing load damage.
Provides consistent 32 mm bore clamping force; the CA pivot absorbs side loads during flap folding.
Dials in the end-of-stroke deceleration to protect delicate bearings being pressed into housings.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, evaluate your force needs both ways: step down to an MFC25 providing 245.3 N @0.5 MPa for lighter duties, or step up to an MFC40 yielding 628.3 N @0.5 MPa for heavier loads. The adjustable air cushion is essential when driving high-speed strokes or moving substantial mass, as it prevents harsh end-of-stroke impacts. Note that the cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function as a brake. If your application must hold a vertical load during air loss or valve centering, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve, as the piston will drift otherwise. Factoring a 2:1 safety margin, this model safely lifts about 20.5 kg vertically, equating to a safe working load of roughly 241 N.
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 force 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, never as a lock or brake. The piston will drift on air loss, so you must use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for position holding. The -S magnet allows CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors to confirm position.
