Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X300CA
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X300CA is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 300mm 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 MFC20X300CA
Tame high-speed end-of-stroke shock with the AirTAC MFC20X300CA, a 20 mm bore double-acting mini cylinder featuring a needle-adjustable variable air cushion at both ends. It delivers a 157 N push at 0.5 MPa, yielding a safe working load of roughly 94 N or about an 8 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.
Built with a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers, the JIS-standard round body resists mild corrosion and is physically shorter than a comparable ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable machine space. This specific CA rear-cover configuration provides a pivot mount, while the 1/8" port and M8x1.25 male rod thread simplify connectivity. Note that this SKU lacks the -S magnet and cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X300CA Is Used
Light-Part Diversion
Ideal for rapidly deflecting small packets on a conveyor; the 157 N push handles the payload while the needle-set air cushion prevents harsh slamming over the 300 mm travel.
Compact Pivot Actuation
Leverages the CA pivot rear cover to swing a lightweight machining guard or fixture, saving mounting length compared to an ISO 6432 cylinder in a tight cell.
Product Push-Off
Moves filled cartons off a packaging line at speed, using the 1/8" ported double-acting stroke to maintain a brisk 30-800 mm/s cycle without end-of-stroke jarring.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X300CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 20 mm bore, step down if your payload is extremely light, or move up to the MFC25 (245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa) if you need greater thrust. The integrated variable air cushion is essential for this 300 mm stroke when cycling at high speeds, as it decelerates the load smoothly to protect the mechanism.
Because this is a plain double-acting cylinder, the piston will drift and drop the load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered—the cushion only decelerates near stroke end and acts purely as a shock absorber, never a brake. To suspend a load safely, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Furthermore, since this base unit has no magnet, position sensing requires switching to the -S variant to enable CMSG, DMSG or EMG switches.
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 MFC20X300CA FAQ
This 20 mm bore double-acting cylinder features a 1/8" air port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. It generates a push force of 157 N and a pull force of 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push increases to 219.8 N and the pull to 184.7 N. The theoretical maximum force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. The variable air cushion at both ends only decelerates the piston near the stroke end to reduce shock; it is not a brake. The piston will drift on air loss, so use an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you need to hold a suspended load.
