Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X60U
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X60U 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 MFC20X60U
Damping high-speed strokes in compact assemblies, the AirTAC MFC20X60U is a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder built with a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers. It is a double-acting actuator featuring a needle-adjustable variable air cushion at both ends to absorb end-of-stroke shock, replacing harsh fixed bumpers. The U-type flat rear cover streamlines flush mounting, and for the same 20 mm bore and 60 mm stroke, the body is noticeably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder.
Operating on a 1/8" port with an 8 mm rod, this 20 mm bore unit delivers 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. That translates to a safe working load of roughly 94 N, or lifting about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors; adding position detection requires the magnet-equipped variant.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X60U Is Used
Light Package Diverting
Pushes small cartons at high speed onto a secondary belt; the adjustable air cushion prevents harsh slams that could scuff packaging.
Small Component Ejection
Ejects lightweight moulded parts from a press bed, using the 60 mm stroke to clear the die area before the next cycle begins.
Gentle Vertical Pressing
Applies a downward clamping force of about 94 N safely, decelerating at the bottom to avoid crushing delicate electronic assemblies.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X60U the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 20 mm bore actuator, step down if your payload is very light, or step up to the MFC25 which provides 245.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa if you need more thrust. The variable air cushion is essential when cycling at high speeds or moving sensitive masses, as the needle valve lets you dial in the exact deceleration to protect the load. Because this is a non-magnet SKU, it cannot accept position switches.
The cylinder does not hold position on air loss; the piston will drift if pressure drops, and the cushion only decelerates near the stroke end rather than acting as a brake. For suspended or gravity-loaded applications, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot and TC trunnion brackets to suit your frame.
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 MFC20X60U FAQ
This 20 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/8" port. 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, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. You must select the -S variant for position sensing. The SUS304 stainless build resists mild corrosion, and the U-type flat rear cover allows flush mounting.
