The AirTAC Airtac MF20-25 Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MF20X110SCM is a genuine double acting JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 110mm 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 JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder saves valuable mounting length because its overall body is physically shorter than a comparable ISO 6432 unit. The SUS304 stainless-steel barrel and riveted aluminium covers resist mild corrosion, while the internal two-way seal retains an oil film for long service life. Because the code contains an S, this unit includes a piston magnet for position sensing.
Equipped with fixed TPU bumper pads and a front-cover anti-impact pad, it decelerates the stroke end without adjustable cushioning. For practical sizing, plan for roughly 94 N of real work at 0.5 MPa, which means it can safely lift an 8 kg part vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The CM round-end back cover facilitates direct pivot mounting, and the 1/8 inch port ensures rapid airflow for its 30-800 mm/s speed range.

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 small moulded plastic components out of a machining fixture using 157 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa.
Actuates a routing flap on a packaging line where the compact JIS body saves critical mounting space.
Raises lightweight industrial trays weighing up to 8 kg, matching the 2:1 safety margin of the bore's push capacity.
When sizing this 20 mm bore actuator, consider the next size up: the MF25 provides 245.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa if your load exceeds the safe 94 N working threshold. Since 20 mm is the smallest available MF bore, dropping down is not an option. At a 110 mm stroke, ensure your mounting configuration—such as the CM round-end rear pivot—supports the rod laterally to prevent bending under side loads.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder will drift if air pressure is lost or the control valve is centred; the bumper pads only soften the end of stroke and act as neither a brake nor a holding lock. To suspend a load safely mid-stroke, integrate an external pilot-operated check valve or a dedicated rod lock.
Quick checklist
This 20 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8 inch port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. It generates 157 N push and 131.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 219.8 N push and 184.7 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum force of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the S in the model code indicates a built-in piston magnet, allowing you to mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for detection. The CM suffix denotes a round-end rear cover for pivot mounting.
