Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X80SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X80SCM 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 MFC32X80SCM
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore double-acting mini cylinder relies on a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends to absorb high-speed shocks. An 80 mm stroke moves the 12 mm rod, which features an M10x1.25 male thread. Because the MFC body uses a riveted SUS304 stainless barrel with aluminium covers, it is notably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same bore and stroke, saving valuable machine space.
The CM round-end rear cover and 1/4" port simplify integration. Its stainless and aluminium construction resists mild corrosion and washdown environments. For vertical moves, the unit lifts about 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin, giving a safe working load near 241 N. The -S suffix means a built-in piston magnet is present, allowing CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches to track position.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X80SCM Is Used
Package Diverting
Uses the 402.2 N thrust to push cartons off a high-speed belt, relying on the variable air cushion to stop the 80 mm stroke smoothly without slamming.
Component Pressing
Presses lightweight bearings or pins into housings, where the 241 N safe working load is sufficient and the needle-set cushion protects the part from end shock.
Vertical Lift Stops
Raises a 20.5 kg jig vertically; the CM round-end cover mounts cleanly while the cushion softens the descent at the bottom of the stroke.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X80SCM the Right Cylinder?
If 402.2 N at 0.5 MPa is too much, step down to the MFC25 which provides 245.3 N; if your payload needs more thrust, the MFC40 offers 628.3 N. The variable air cushion is essential when cycling heavy loads at high speed, as it decelerates the piston near stroke end to reduce impact noise. Remember this cushion is not a brake; the cylinder cannot hold a load on air loss, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you need drift prevention. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot and TC trunnion.
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 MFC32X80SCM FAQ
This double-acting cylinder has 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. It operates between 0.15 and 1.0 MPa.
No, the variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and does not act as a lock. On air loss the piston will drift, so you need an external rod lock or pilot check valve for holding. The -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors for position feedback.
