Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X450SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X450SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 450mm 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 MFC20X450SCM
Delivering 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting round-body mini cylinder handles a 450 mm stroke with precision. The riveted aluminium covers and SUS304 stainless barrel resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. For the same bore and stroke, the JIS-standard body is noticeably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length.
A built-in piston magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for position sensing, while the CM round-end rear cover completes the assembly. The variable air cushion at both ends lets you dial in a needle valve to absorb high-speed end-of-stroke shock, protecting your payload. Based on the 0.5 MPa thrust, it handles a safe working load of roughly 94 N, lifting about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X450SCM Is Used
Light-Part Ejection
Uses the 94 N safe working load to push small plastic or aluminium components out of a machining centre quickly without damaging the surface.
Package Diverting
Employs the 450 mm stroke to reach across a narrow belt, sorting lightweight boxes at high speed while the air cushion prevents end-stop banging.
Vertical Lift Gate
Lifts an 8 kg access flap on a packaging line using the 2:1 safety margin, relying on the magnet for position feedback.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X450SCM the Right Cylinder?
If 157 N push at 0.5 MPa is insufficient, step up to the MFC25, which provides 245.3 N; since 20 mm is the smallest bore in the MFC family, there is no smaller standard option. The adjustable air cushion is essential when cycling at high speeds or moving sensitive loads, as it decelerates the piston smoothly. Note that this cylinder does not hold position on air loss—the piston will drift—so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for suspended loads. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, and TC trunnion, and the 1/8" port matches the 20 mm bore standard.
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 MFC20X450SCM 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 of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the piston will drift if air is lost. The variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end to reduce shock; it does not act as a brake. For vertical loads, you must use an external rod lock or pilot check valve. The SUS304 stainless build and -S magnet for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors ensure reliable operation in mild washdowns.
