The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X75SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 75mm 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 uses a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends to absorb high-speed end-of-stroke shock. The riveted SUS304 stainless barrel and aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdown, while the JIS-standard round body is physically shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same 75 mm stroke, saving valuable mounting length.
Equipped with a built-in piston magnet (-S), it supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for precise position detection. A CM round-end rear cover completes the assembly. For practical sizing, its safe working load is roughly 241 N, meaning it can lift about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The 1/4" port and M10x1.25 male rod thread ensure robust pneumatic and mechanical connections.

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 parcels smoothly off a high-speed belt using the 402.2 N thrust, with the variable air cushion preventing harsh impacts at the 75 mm stroke end.
Seats lightweight machined parts into fixtures, relying on the 241 N safe working load and needle-adjusted deceleration to avoid damaging delicate surfaces.
Raises goods up to 20.5 kg in compact palletising cells where the shorter-than-ISO-6432 body length is critical for tight machine envelopes.
If 402.2 N at 0.5 MPa is excessive for your payload, step down to the MFC25 which provides 245.3 N; if your application demands more thrust, the MFC40 offers 628.3 N. The adjustable air cushion is essential when cycling at high speeds or moving heavy masses, as it decelerates the piston smoothly to protect the load. Note that this cushion only slows the piston near the stroke end and does not function as a brake; the piston will drift on air loss. For secure load holding, fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot and TC trunnion brackets.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4" port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. At 0.5 MPa it generates 402.2 N of push force and 345.6 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa the push increases to 563 N and the pull to 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the piston will drift if air is lost. The variable air cushion at both ends only decelerates the piston near the end of the stroke to reduce shock; it is not a lock or brake. To hold a load securely, you must use an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The included -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors to confirm position.
