Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X60SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X60SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 60mm 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 MFC20X60SCA
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 soak up high-speed end-of-stroke shock. The riveted aluminium covers and SUS304 stainless barrel resist mild corrosion and washdown, while the built-in piston magnet (-S suffix) enables direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches for position sensing. A 1/8" port and M8x1.25 male rod thread complete the pneumatic interface.
For the same bore and stroke, this JIS-standard round-body unit is notably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length. It provides a safe working load of roughly 94 N and lifts about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The rear CA pivot cover suits articulated rod-end loading, and the front cover carries a fixed anti-impact pad alongside the adjustable cushions to further smooth deceleration.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X60SCA Is Used
Light Parts Ejection
Ejecting small plastic moulded parts at speed, using the adjustable air cushion to bring the 8 kg load to a smooth stop without bouncing.
Package Diverting
Diverting light cartons on a packing line where the compact JIS body saves space and the CA pivot accommodates slight misalignment.
Lab Sample Handling
Moving delicate diagnostic samples horizontally, relying on the 94 N safe working load and needle-set deceleration to prevent spillage.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X60SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 20 mm bore actuator, step down if speeds are low or loads are trivial, but step up to the MFC25 (245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa) if you need extra thrust margin. The variable air cushion is essential when cycling at high speeds or moving sensitive masses, as it prevents harsh end-of-stroke impacts. Note that the cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function as a lock or brake. If the application must hold a load on air loss or when the valve is centered, fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve, because the piston will drift. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, and TC trunnion brackets, and the -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors to be fitted.
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 MFC20X60SCA FAQ
This 20 mm bore double-acting 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.
Yes, the -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The variable air cushion at both ends uses a needle valve to restrict exhaust flow and decelerate the piston near the stroke end; it is not a brake and will not hold the load if air pressure is lost.
