Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X150CM
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X150CM is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 150mm 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 MFC20X150CM
Tame high-speed end-of-stroke shock with the AirTAC MFC20X150CM, a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder featuring a needle-adjustable variable air cushion at both ends. Driven by filtered air through a 1/8" port, this double-acting actuator generates 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it a robust choice for compact automation.
Built with a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers, it resists mild corrosion and washdown environments. The CM round-end rear cover and 150 mm stroke deliver practical reach, while the body is notably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder of the same bore and stroke. This base SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors; choose the -S variant if position detection is required.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X150CM Is Used
Package Diverting
Pushes lightweight cartons at high speed onto adjacent lines, using the variable air cushion to absorb impact and prevent product damage at the 150 mm stroke end.
Small Part Ejection
Ejects moulded plastic components from a press, relying on the 157 N push force and riveted SUS304 construction to withstand intermittent washdown.
Light Assembly Clamping
Holds delicate aluminium brackets during machining, where the needle-set cushion ensures gentle deceleration without deforming the workpiece.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X150CM the Right Cylinder?
For lighter payloads, the MFC20X150CM yields a safe working load of roughly 94 N (about 60% of its 157 N push force at 0.5 MPa), lifting around 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. If your application demands more thrust, step up to the MFC25, which provides 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa. The adjustable air cushion is essential when cycling at high speeds or moving heavy loads, as it decelerates the piston smoothly. Note that this cylinder will drift and cannot hold a load on air loss; integrate an external rod lock or pilot check valve for suspended loads. Mount using LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion brackets.
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 MFC20X150CM FAQ
This 20 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" air port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. 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 does not include a magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must select the -S variant for position sensing. The cylinder's variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end; it does not function as a brake or lock.
