Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X115SU
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X115SU is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 115mm 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 MFC20X115SU
Delivering 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, the AirTAC MFC20X115SU is a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder built for double-acting operation. Its riveted aluminium covers and SUS304 stainless barrel resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. For the same bore and stroke, this compact body is noticeably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length.
A variable air cushion at both ends lets you turn a needle to soak up high-speed end-of-stroke shock, protecting the load and cutting noise. The built-in -S piston magnet supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for position sensing, while the U flat-end rear cover simplifies direct mounting. Derived from its 0.5 MPa push rating, the safe working load is about 94 N, meaning it lifts roughly 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X115SU Is Used
Light Package Diverting
Routes small parcels at high speed on a belt line, using the variable air cushion to stop the 115 mm stroke gently without jarring the mechanism.
Small Component Pressing
Applies up to 94 N of safe working force to seat delicate electronics or clips, where the SUS304 barrel withstands factory humidity.
Carton Flap Folding
Folds light cardboard flaps on a packaging line, relying on the U flat-end cover for flush rear mounting against machine frames.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X115SU the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 20 mm bore, step down if force is lacking or move up to the MFC25, which provides 245.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa for heavier demands. The adjustable cushion is essential when cycling at high speeds or moving sensitive masses, as it decelerates the piston smoothly. Note that this cylinder does not hold position on air loss; the piston drifts, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for suspended loads. It uses a 1/8" port, features a male M8x1.25 rod thread, and accepts reed or electronic sensors via the -S magnet.
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 MFC20X115SU FAQ
This 20 mm bore double-acting cylinder uses a 1/8" 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 of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. The variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end and acts as neither a brake nor a lock; the cylinder drifts on air loss, so use a pilot check valve for vertical holding.
