The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC32X95SU is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 95mm 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.
Tame high-speed end-of-stroke shock with the AirTAC MFC32X95SU, a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder built with a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers. The 32 mm bore develops 402.2 N of push force and 345.6 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it a robust choice for moderate automation loads. Its defining trait is the variable air cushion at both ends: a needle valve lets you dial in the deceleration to protect the workpiece and cut noise, which is a major upgrade over a fixed bumper. Because of the riveted rolling-packed construction, the overall body is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same 95 mm stroke, saving valuable mounting length.
This -S configuration includes a built-in piston magnet for position sensing with CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. The flat-end U back cover provides a flush rear mounting face, and the 1/4" port handles the airflow for speeds from 30 to 800 mm/s. For sizing context, the computed safe working load is roughly 241 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa push force), and it lifts about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The SUS304 build resists mild corrosion and washdown environments.

MF-family variants: MF / MFC (double acting ±cushion), MSF / MTF (single acting push / pull), MFD / MFCD (double rod ±cushion), MFJ / MFCJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
Pushes medium-weight cartons off a high-speed belt using 402.2 N of thrust, relying on the variable air cushion to stop the 95 mm stroke without slamming.
Presses bearings or pins into housings on an automated line, where the needle-set deceleration protects delicate parts from impact damage.
Acts as a pneumatic stop for inbound pallets, absorbing the kinetic energy of the load via the adjustable end cushions rather than a harsh metal clash.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, compare it directly with adjacent models: if 402.2 N at 0.5 MPa is excessive, step down to the MFC25 which provides 245.3 N; if you need more thrust, the MFC40 delivers 628.3 N. The variable air cushion is most beneficial when driving heavier masses at high cycling speeds, as it prevents harsh impacts at the 95 mm stroke ends. Remember that the cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of travel—it does not lock or hold the load. If your application must maintain position during an air loss or when the valve is centered, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve to prevent drift.
This SKU features the -S magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors and comes with a flat-end U back cover. You can mount it using LB foot brackets, FA flanges, SDB pivot blocks or TC trunnions. The standard 1/4" port accepts PT threads, with G or NPT(T) available as options.
Quick checklist
This double-acting 32 mm bore cylinder has a 1/4" air port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. 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 force of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of the stroke and acts purely as a shock absorber, never as a brake. The piston will drift on air loss or valve centering, so you must use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for position holding. The -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors to track position.
