Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X80U
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X80U 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 MFC32X80U
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore double-acting mini cylinder uses a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends to absorb end-of-stroke shock at high speeds. The riveted SUS304 stainless barrel and aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdown. For the same bore and stroke, the JIS-standard round body is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length. This U-flat-end rear cover configuration gives 80 mm of travel.
Derived from the 0.5 MPa push rating, the safe working load is roughly 241 N, translating to a vertical lift of about 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. It features a 12 mm rod, M10x1.25 male thread, and a 1/4 inch port. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take position sensors; adding the -S variant enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X80U Is Used
Package Diverting
Handles 20 kg cartons at high cycle rates where the adjustable air cushion prevents harsh slams at the 80 mm stroke end.
Light Pressing
Applies up to 241 N of safe working force to seat bearings or pins, with the U-flat rear cover allowing direct bulkhead mounting.
Vertical Lift Gates
Raises lightweight access doors; use a pilot check valve to hold the load, as the cushion only decelerates and cannot lock the piston.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X80U the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore, step down to the MFC25 for 245.3 N @0.5 MPa if loads are lighter, or move up to the MFC40 for 628.3 N @0.5 MPa when you need more thrust. The variable air cushion is essential for heavy or fast-moving loads, letting you dial in deceleration to protect the workpiece. This cushion only slows the piston near stroke end and does not act as a lock.
Because this plain SKU has no magnet, it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. If position feedback is required, select the -S magnet version. To prevent drift on air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve, as the cylinder will not hold a load by itself. 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 MFC32X80U FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder has a 1/4 inch port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. 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, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches cannot be used. You must select the -S variant for sensing. The SUS304 stainless build resists washdown, and the variable air cushion protects loads at speeds up to 800 mm/s.
