The AirTAC Airtac MF20-25 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF20X10CA is a genuine double acting JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 10mm 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, the AirTAC MF20X10CA is a compact 20 mm bore double-acting mini cylinder built to JIS standards. Because its riveted SUS304 stainless round body is shorter than an equivalent ISO 6432 unit, it saves valuable mounting length in tight machinery. The 1/8" port and 10 mm stroke make it ideal for very short linear movements.
The piston relies on a two-way oil-retaining seal for smooth friction life, while fixed TPU bumper pads and a front-cover anti-impact pad absorb end-of-stroke shock. Plan for roughly 94 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which means it can safely lift about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. This specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed switches.

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.
Provides a rapid 10 mm stroke to secure small electronic components on a PCB assembly fixture, utilising its 94 N safe working load effectively.
Pushes lightweight moulded plastic parts out of a machining centre using the 157 N push force available at 0.5 MPa.
Pivots via the CA rear cover to flick small packages on a packaging line where the JIS short-body footprint prevents frame interference.
When sizing this actuator, stepping up to the MF25 bore increases the 0.5 MPa push force to 245.3 N for heavier duties, while no smaller standard MF bore exists below 20 mm. The included CA back cover provides a rear pivot mount, perfect for angular load articulation. Because the 10 mm stroke is extremely short, side-load risks are minimal, but remember that air pressure alone will not hold a load if supply drops—the bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end, so add a pilot check valve for position holding.
Quick checklist
This 20 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. At 0.5 MPa it generates 157 N push and 131.9 N pull. At 0.7 MPa the push is 219.8 N and pull is 184.7 N. The theoretical maximum force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet option, so it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for position sensing. It uses fixed TPU bumper pads rather than an adjustable air cushion to decelerate the stroke end.
