Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X200CM
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X200CM is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 200mm 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 MFC20X200CM
Delivering 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting mini cylinder tackles light-duty automation with precision. The variable air cushion at both ends lets you dial in the deceleration needle to absorb high-speed end-of-stroke shock, protecting your payload and cutting workshop noise. A CM round-end back cover equips this 200 mm stroke unit for flexible rear mounting.
Built with a SUS304 stainless steel barrel and riveted aluminium covers, the JIS-standard round body resists mild corrosion and washdown environments. For the same bore and stroke, the MFC body is noticeably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable machine space. Based on the 0.5 MPa thrust, this actuator provides a safe working load of roughly 94 N, meaning it lifts about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Note that this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X200CM Is Used
Light Part Diversion
Pushes small cardboard cartons on a packaging line at speed, relying on the needle-adjustable air cushion to prevent harsh impacts that could crush the goods.
Compact Tool Ejection
Ejects lightweight machined components from a tight fixture, where the shorter-than-ISO-6432 body length preserves valuable envelope space.
Lab Sample Routing
Indexes plastic sample trays in a washdown-prone testing station, benefiting from the SUS304 stainless barrel for mild corrosion resistance.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X200CM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 20 mm bore actuator, evaluate your payload against its 131.9 N pull force at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires more thrust, stepping up to the MFC25X200 provides 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa; since 20 mm is the smallest available MFC bore, there is no smaller option to step down to. The adjustable air cushion is essential when cycling at high speeds or moving delicate loads, as it merely decelerates the piston near the stroke end without acting as a lock.
Because this model has no -S suffix, magnetic position sensing is not supported. Furthermore, a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure drops or the valve is centered—the cushion cannot hold a load. For vertical or suspended loads that must remain fixed during a power loss, 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 MFC20X200CM FAQ
This 20 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" air port and an 8 mm rod with an M8x1.25 male 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.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet option, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for position sensing, though the SUS304 stainless build and variable air cushion remain standard.
