Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X10U
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X10U is a genuine double acting + cushion 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.

About the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X10U
Equipped with a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends, the AirTAC MFC20X10U smooths high-speed strokes to protect your payload. This JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder features a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers, yielding a body that is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same 20 mm bore and 10 mm stroke.
Operating double-acting on a 1/8" port, it generates 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. This translates to a safe working load of roughly 94 N, or lifting about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. This specific U-cover SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X10U Is Used
Short-Stroke Ejector
Uses the 10 mm stroke to rapidly kick small parts off a line, relying on the variable air cushion to absorb the end-of-travel impact.
Flap Tamping
Applies a safe 94 N working load to press carton flaps momentarily without crushing the board, thanks to the smooth double-acting action.
Compact Gripper Pusher
Fits into tight machinery where the SUS304 round body saves mounting length compared to an ISO 6432 unit, delivering quick 8 kg vertical lifts.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X10U the Right Cylinder?
For light-duty cycling, the 157 N push force at 0.5 MPa fits well; if you need more punch, the MFC25 provides 245.3 N at the same pressure. The adjustable air cushion is vital for this 10 mm stroke when moving loads at speed, though it only decelerates the piston near the end caps and will not hold the load on air loss. To suspend a load safely, fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve. Mount via LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion, and note that sensing requires switching to an -S variant.
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 MFC20X10U FAQ
This 20 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/8" port. It delivers 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 of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet option, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches will not function. The SUS304 stainless build resists mild washdown, and the needle-set air cushion decelerates the piston but does not lock the load.
