Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X80CA
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X80CA is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 80mm 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.

About the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X80CA
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, the AirTAC MFC32X80CA is a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder built for double-acting operation. A variable air cushion at both ends lets you dial in the needle valve to soak up end-of-stroke shock at high speeds, protecting your payload far better than a fixed rubber bumper. The SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdown environments.
This 32 mm bore, 80 mm stroke variant uses a 1/4" port and a 12 mm rod with an M10x1.25 male thread. For the same bore and stroke, the riveted MFC body is noticeably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length. It provides a safe working load of about 241 N, meaning it can vertically lift roughly 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Note this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position sensors.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X80CA Is Used
High-Speed Diverters
Uses the 402.2 N thrust to push packages at 800 mm/s while the adjustable air cushion prevents harsh end-of-stroke slamming on the 80 mm stroke.
Carton Flap Folding
Drives folding arms rapidly with enough force to crease heavy cardboard, relying on the needle-set cushion to protect the mechanical linkage.
Light Press Fitting
Applies a safe 241 N working load to seat small bearings, taking advantage of the SUS304 barrel in mildly humid production zones.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X80CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore unit, step down to an MFC25 if your load requires less force (245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa), or move up to an MFC40 for heavier payloads (628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa). The adjustable air cushion is essential when cycling at high speeds or moving heavy masses, as it decelerates the piston smoothly near the stroke ends. Keep in mind the cushion only slows the piston; it does not function as a lock or brake. If your application must hold a load vertically during air loss or valve centering, the piston will drift, so you must fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
This model features a CA rear pivot cover, making it ideal for pivoting mountings. Since this base SKU is not supplied with a magnet, it cannot host reed or solid-state switches; order an -S variant if you require CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensing. You can pair it with LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot-block or TC trunnion hardware to suit your frame.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G / NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check Use correct back cover (CA/U/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X80CA FAQ
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, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. You would need to select the -S magnet option to enable magnetic sensing on the stainless steel barrel.
