Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X100SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X100SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 100mm 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.

About the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X100SCM
Dial in end-of-stroke deceleration with the AirTAC MFC20X100SCM, a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder built for high-speed actuation. The variable air cushion at both ends uses a needle valve to absorb shock, protecting your payload far better than a fixed bumper. Its SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdown environments.
Delivering 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this 20 mm bore unit provides a safe working load of roughly 94 N, lifting about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The -S suffix equips the piston with a magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches, while the CM round-end back cover simplifies direct mounting. Featuring a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread, the body is notably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same 100 mm stroke.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X100SCM Is Used
Light-Part Diversion
Sort small packages on a high-speed line using the 94 N safe working load, relying on the variable air cushion to stop the 100 mm stroke smoothly without jarring the belt.
Blister Pack Sealing
Cycle a sealing head up and down rapidly; the needle-adjusted cushion absorbs the end shock to protect thin tooling, while the SUS304 barrel handles occasional washdown.
Small Component Ejection
Push lightweight moulded parts out of a jig. The CMSG or DMSG sensors track the 8 kg vertical lift capability for precise timing in automated assembly cells.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X100SCM the Right Cylinder?
For lighter payloads, the MFC20 at 157 N push @0.5 MPa is your baseline, while stepping up to the MFC25 provides 245.3 N if you need more thrust. Choose this variable-cushion model specifically when cycling at high speeds or moving sensitive masses that would be damaged by sudden impacts. The needle-set deceleration only smooths the stroke end; it does not lock the rod. Because a standard cylinder drifts when air pressure drops or a valve centres, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if you must hold a vertical load safely in place.
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 MFC20X100SCM FAQ
This 20 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" port and an 8 mm rod. At 0.5 MPa it generates 157 N push and 131.9 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it yields 219.8 N push and 184.7 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and acts purely as a shock absorber, never a brake. The piston will drift if air pressure is lost. For position holding, you need an external rod lock or pilot check valve. The -S magnet enables position sensing.
