Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X200SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X200SCM 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 MFC20X200SCM
Delivering 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting 20 mm bore mini cylinder relies on a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends to absorb high-speed shocks. The riveted aluminium covers and SUS304 stainless barrel resist mild corrosion and washdown, while the built-in magnet (-S) enables direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors.
Featuring a 200 mm stroke and a CM round-end rear cover, the JIS-standard round body is noticeably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder of the same bore and stroke, saving valuable mounting length. Operating at speeds of 30-800 mm/s with a 1/8" port, it provides 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 MFC20X200SCM Is Used
Light Package Diverting
Uses the 157 N push force to push small cartons off a high-speed belt, relying on the variable air cushion to prevent end-of-stroke slamming.
Small Parts Ejection
Ejects delicate plastic mouldings from a press, where the adjustable needle deceleration protects fragile components from impact damage.
Bin Sorting Gates
Actuates lightweight routing flaps in a 200 mm stroke, with the SUS304 barrel handling occasional moisture in humid dispatch zones.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X200SCM the Right Cylinder?
For lighter tasks, this 20 mm bore (157 N @0.5 MPa) is the smallest available; stepping up to the MFC25 yields 245.3 N @0.5 MPa for heavier demands. The variable air cushion is essential when cycling at high speeds or moving sensitive loads, as it decelerates the piston smoothly at stroke end.
Because the cushion only slows the piston and does not act as a brake, the rod will drift if air pressure drops or the valve centres. To suspend a load safely, fit an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The -S magnet pairs with CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches, and the CM back cover suits compact pivot or direct mounting.
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 MFC20X200SCM FAQ
This 20 mm bore cylinder has 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 denotes a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors. The variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end; it is not a lock. The cylinder will drift on air loss, so use an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a vertical load.
