The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X70SCM 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, the AirTAC MFC32X70SCM is a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder built for demanding 32 mm bore tasks. A needle-set variable air cushion at both ends soaks up high-speed end-of-stroke shock, actively protecting the load and lowering noise. The riveted SUS304 stainless barrel and aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdown, while the rear CM round-end cover streamlines the body profile.
For the same bore and stroke, this compact design is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length without sacrificing power. It uses a 1/4" port and a 12 mm rod with an M10x1.25 male thread. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it directly supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG position switches. Factoring a 2:1 safety margin, it lifts about 20.5 kg vertically, equating to a safe working load near 241 N.

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 to gently push 20 kg cartons across high-speed sorting lines without jarring the mechanism.
Applies steady clamping force for small component seating, using the needle valve to eliminate end-of-travel impact.
Raises lightweight tote bins in compact enclosures where the shorter-than-ISO-6432 body length saves critical space.
When sizing this 32 mm bore unit, step down to the MFC25 for 245.3 N @0.5 MPa if your load is lighter, or move up to the MFC40 for 628.3 N @0.5 MPa for heavier demands. The adjustable air cushion is essential when cycling at high speeds or moving substantial mass, as it decelerates the piston smoothly near stroke end. Remember that this cushion only slows the load; it does not act as a brake. To prevent drift on air loss or when a valve is centered, fit an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. You can mount the body via LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot or TC trunnion hardware.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4" port and a 12 mm rod. 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 stroke end and is not a brake. The piston will drift on air loss or when a valve is centered; use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for load holding. The built-in -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors.
