The AirTAC Airtac MF20-25 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF20X105CM is a genuine double acting JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 105mm stroke, 1/8" 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.
Generating 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting AirTAC MF20X105CM mini cylinder features a JIS-standard round body that is physically shorter than a comparable ISO 6432 unit, saving valuable mounting length in compact assemblies. The SUS304 stainless steel barrel and riveted aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdown, while the piston's two-way seal retains an oil film for extended lifespan. A CM round-end back cover equips the rear for pivot mounting. Operating on a 1/8 inch air port, it provides a practical 105 mm stroke.
Because the fixed TPU bumper pads and front-cover anti-impact pad only soften stroke-end impact rather than act as an adjustable cushion, you should plan for a safe working load of about 94 N. This equates to lifting an 8 kg part vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet, meaning it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches without upgrading to an -S variant.

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 lightweight plastic mouldings out of an injection press using the 157 N thrust, relying on the 105 mm stroke to clear the tooling.
Moves a secondary clamping jaw in a tight machining cell where the JIS compact body saves critical overall length.
Diverts small electronic packages on a conveyor line, safely handling loads under the 8 kg vertical lift threshold.
When sizing this 20 mm bore, consider the adjacent MF25 bore if your fixture requires more power, as it steps up to 245.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If you are pushing the limits of the 105 mm stroke, be mindful of side loading to prevent rod bending. The CM round-end back cover suits pivot-style mounting, and you can pair the body with LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion brackets. Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centred; the bumper pads decelerate the stroke but do not lock the rod. To hold a load securely, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This 20 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/8 inch air port. It generates a push force of 157 N and a pull force of 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push increases to 219.8 N and the pull to 184.7 N. The theoretical maximum force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for sensing. It features a CM round-end back cover and fixed TPU bumper pads that decelerate the stroke end without offering adjustable cushioning.
