The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X75SU 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, the AirTAC MFC32X75SU is a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder built for high-speed actuation. A variable air cushion at both ends lets you dial in the needle valve to absorb end-of-stroke shock, protecting your payload far better than a fixed bumper. The SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdown, while the flat-end U back cover keeps the overall length down. For the same 32 mm bore and 75 mm stroke, this riveted body is physically shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting space without conforming to that standard.
This double-acting actuator features a 1/4" port, a 12 mm rod, and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. Because this SKU includes the -S suffix, it has a built-in piston magnet ready for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches. Factoring a standard safety margin, expect a safe working load of roughly 241 N, which means it lifts about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 factor. Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it is not a brake.

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.
Routes 20 kg cartons at high speed onto secondary lines; the adjustable air cushion prevents harsh slams that could damage boxes during 75 mm strokes.
Applies up to 241 N of safe working force to seat bearings or pins, relying on the flat-end U cover for flush mounting against machine frames.
Folds heavy cardboard flaps rapidly in case sealers, where the SUS304 stainless barrel withstands occasional washdowns and dusty environments.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, check both extremes: if 402.2 N at 0.5 MPa is excessive, step down to the MFC25 which provides 245.3 N; if you need more muscle, the MFC40 pushes 628.3 N. The variable air cushion is essential when cycling at high speeds or moving heavy masses, as it prevents harsh impacts. For vertical or suspended loads, note that a standard cylinder drifts when air pressure drops or the valve is centered. To hold position securely, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve alongside the U back cover and your preferred mounting brackets. With the -S magnet present, you can easily track piston position using CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore double-acting cylinder uses a 1/4" port. It generates 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the piston will drift. The variable air cushion only decelerates the rod near the stroke end and acts purely as a shock absorber, never as a lock or brake. To hold a suspended load, you must add an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
