The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X110SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion 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.
Delivering 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder relies on a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers to resist mild washdown corrosion. The -S suffix equips the piston with a magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches, while the CM round-end back cover streamlines rear mounting.
A variable air cushion at both ends lets you dial in a needle valve to absorb end-of-stroke shock at high cycling speeds, protecting the load and cutting noise. For the same 20 mm bore and 110 mm stroke, the MFC body is notably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable machine space. Based on the 0.5 MPa thrust, it handles a safe working load of roughly 94 N and lifts about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

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 packages on a high-speed line using a 94 N safe working load, with the adjustable air cushion preventing harsh slams at the 110 mm stroke end.
Cycles rapidly to press sealing heads, relying on the SUS304 stainless barrel to withstand routine washdowns in a food-grade environment.
Transfers delicate electronic parts with an 8 kg vertical lift capacity, using the CM round-end cover for a tidy rear pivot mount.
If 157 N push at 0.5 MPa is insufficient, step up to the MFC25 which provides 245.3 N; since 20 mm is the smallest available bore, there is no smaller MFC option. The adjustable air cushion is essential when moving heavier masses at high speeds, but remember it only decelerates the piston near the stroke end—it is not a lock or brake.
Because a standard cylinder drifts when air pressure drops or a valve centres, you must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold a suspended load safely. The 1/8" port and M8x1.25 male rod thread keep the footprint compact, and the integrated -S magnet ensures you can mount position sensors directly.
Quick checklist
This 20 mm bore, 110 mm stroke double-acting cylinder pushes 157 N and pulls 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa, pushes 219.8 N and pulls 184.7 N at 0.7 MPa, and has a theoretical max force of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates at 30-800 mm/s, uses a 1/8" air port, and features an M8x1.25 male rod thread.
No, the piston will drift on air loss. The variable air cushion at both ends only decelerates the piston near the end of its stroke to reduce shock; it does not act as a brake or lock. To hold a load securely, you must fit an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
