Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X130SU
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X130SU is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 130mm 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 MFC20X130SU
Tuned by a needle valve at both ends, the variable air cushion on this double-acting round-body mini cylinder absorbs high-speed end-of-stroke shock to protect your payload. The MFC20X130SU pushes with 157 N and pulls with 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa, making it ideal for compact automation. Its SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdown environments.
Featuring a 20 mm bore, 130 mm stroke, and a 1/8" port, this JIS-standard actuator is notably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same footprint, saving valuable mounting length. The -S suffix equips the piston with a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensing. Based on the 0.5 MPa push force, it handles a safe working load of roughly 94 N and lifts about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X130SU Is Used
Package Diverting
Uses the 157 N push force to swiftly route small cartons on a line, relying on the needle-set air cushion to halt the 130 mm stroke quietly without jarring the products.
Small Component Seating
Presses lightweight bearings or pins into housings at speed, where the adjustable end-cushioning prevents impact damage and the SUS304 barrel withstands light coolant splash.
Bin Tray Sorting
Lifts or pushes trays weighing up to 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin, using the built-in magnet and a DMSG switch to confirm the transfer position.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X130SU the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 20 mm bore actuator, step down if your load is very light, or step up to the MFC25 which provides 245.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa if you need more thrust. The adjustable air cushion is essential when cycling at high speeds or moving sensitive masses, as it decelerates the piston smoothly near the end caps. Note that this cushion only slows the piston; it does not act as a brake or lock.
This SKU features a U-style flat-end back cover and includes the -S magnet for direct sensor mounting. Remember that a plain pneumatic cylinder will drift and cannot hold its load on air loss or when the valve is centered. For suspended or gravity-loaded applications requiring position holding, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
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 MFC20X130SU FAQ
This 20 mm bore cylinder features 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 force of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. However, the variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it is not a brake. The cylinder will drift on air loss, so you must add an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended load.
