The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X75U is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 75mm 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.
Delivering 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting 20 mm bore mini cylinder integrates a needle-adjustable variable air cushion at both ends to absorb high-speed end-of-stroke shock. The riveted aluminium covers and SUS304 stainless steel barrel resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. Equipped with a U flat-end rear cover, its 75 mm stroke operates at 30-800 mm/s via a 1/8" port.
For the same bore and stroke, the JIS-standard round-body construction is noticeably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length. Based on the 0.5 MPa push rating, it handles a safe working load of roughly 94 N and lifts about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.

MF-family variants: MF / MFC (double acting ±cushion), MSF / MTF (single acting push / pull), MFD / MFCD (double rod ±cushion), MFJ / MFCJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
Cushions the 75 mm stroke ejection of small plastic parts at high speed, preventing the 8 kg load capacity from slamming into the end cap.
Provides smooth deceleration for carton sealing flaps, using the 157 N push force to fold cardboard without bounce.
Pushes lightweight packages across a belt using the U flat-end cover, with the variable air cushion absorbing the repeated impact of fast cycling.
When sizing this 20 mm bore actuator, step down if loads are light or step up to the MFC25, which provides 245.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa for heavier demands. The adjustable needle cushion is essential when cycling at high speeds or moving sensitive masses, as it decelerates the piston smoothly. This pneumatic component does not hold position on air loss; the piston will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you need to secure a suspended load. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, and TC trunnion brackets.
Quick checklist
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, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for sensing. The SUS304 stainless barrel also provides excellent washdown resistance.
