Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X85SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X85SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 85mm 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 MFC32X85SCM
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting mini cylinder absorbs high-speed shocks through a needle-adjustable variable air cushion at both ends. The 32 mm bore pairs a 12 mm rod with a 1/4 inch port, while the CM round-end rear cover and 85 mm stroke suit tight machinery layouts. A built-in magnet (-S) enables CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches for position sensing.
Built with a SUS304 stainless steel barrel and riveted aluminium covers, the JIS-standard round-body design resists mild corrosion and washdown environments. For the same bore and stroke, it is physically shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length. 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.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X85SCM Is Used
Package Diverting
Handles the 241 N safe working load to push heavy cartons off a high-speed line, relying on the dual air cushions to stop the 85 mm stroke smoothly without slamming.
Light Pressing
Applies up to 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa to seat small bearings, using the CM rear cover and compact JIS body to fit closely within a multi-station press.
Vertical Lift Stops
Lifts roughly 20.5 kg of stock vertically, where the needle-set cushion absorbs the downward impact at the stroke end, protecting both the load and the frame.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X85SCM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore unit, stepping down to an MFC25 yields 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa, whereas moving up to an MFC40 provides 628.3 N. The variable air cushion is essential when cycling heavy loads at high speed, as it decelerates the piston near the stroke end to protect the workpiece. Note that the cushion only slows the piston; it does not act as a brake. If you need to prevent drift on air loss or when a valve is centered, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. The included -S magnet supports position sensing, and mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion brackets.
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 MFC32X85SCM FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4 inch 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, the variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of the stroke and does not function as a lock or brake. The piston will drift on air loss. You must add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for load holding. The -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors for position confirmation.
