Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X80CM
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X80CM 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 MFC32X80CM
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore double-acting mini cylinder is built for high-speed tasks where end-of-stroke shock must be tightly controlled. A needle-set variable air cushion at both ends soaks up deceleration energy, protecting the payload and cutting noise far better than a fixed rubber bumper. The riveted aluminium covers and SUS304 stainless barrel resist mild corrosion and washdown, while the CM round-end rear cover suits compact machinery layouts.
For the same 32 mm bore and 80 mm stroke, the JIS-standard body is noticeably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length. It drives a 12 mm rod with an M10x1.25 male thread and a 1/4" port. Based on the 0.5 MPa thrust, it handles a safe working load of roughly 241 N, lifting about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Note this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors without switching to the -S variant.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X80CM Is Used
Package Diverting
Shifts small to mid-weight cartons at high cycle rates; the variable air cushion prevents jarring stops that could topple unstable loads on the line.
Component Pressing
Applies up to 402.2 N of push force to seat bearings or pins, with the end cushion absorbing the impact of sudden resistance at the bottom of the 80 mm stroke.
Vertical Lift Stops
Raises roughly 20.5 kg of stock vertically; the needle adjustment lets you tune the descent deceleration so the CM round-end cover avoids slamming the frame.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X80CM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore, step down to an MFC25 for lighter duties (245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa) or move up to an MFC40 when you need 628.3 N of thrust. The variable air cushion is essential if you are moving heavy loads at high speeds up to 800 mm/s, as it prevents harsh impacts at the stroke ends. Remember the cushion only decelerates the piston; it does not act as a brake. If the machine loses air or the valve is centred, the load will drift. To hold position securely, fit an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. For mounting, choose LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot or TC trunnion brackets 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 MFC32X80CM FAQ
This 32 mm bore model has 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, increasing to 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches cannot be used. You would need the -S variant for position sensing. The cylinder features a SUS304 stainless barrel and a variable air cushion at both ends to decelerate high-speed loads.
