Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X90SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X90SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 90mm 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 MFC20X90SCA
Delivering 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder integrates a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends to absorb high-speed end-of-stroke shock. The SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. Because of its compact riveted construction, the overall body is notably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same 20 mm bore and 90 mm stroke.
Equipped with a CA rear pivot cover and an integrated piston magnet (-S), it supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG position switches. Driven by a 1/8" air port, it provides a safe working load of roughly 94 N, meaning it can lift about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The adjustable cushion decelerates the load smoothly but does not function as a brake.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X90SCA Is Used
Light Part Ejection
Uses the 157 N thrust to push small plastic components out of a mould, relying on the tuned air cushion to prevent the rod from slamming at the end of a fast cycle.
Package Diverting
Employs the CA pivot mount to angle small cartons on a belt, smoothly decelerating the 90 mm stroke to avoid denting the packaging.
Lab Sample Handling
Leverages the SUS304 stainless barrel for washdown resistance in clean environments, moving sample trays with a safe working load around 94 N.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X90SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 20 mm bore unit, step down if your payload is extremely 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 heavy loads, allowing you to tune the deceleration needle to eliminate end-of-stroke banging. Note that a standard cylinder drifts when air pressure drops or the valve is centered, so install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if you must hold a suspended load. For mounting, pair the CA pivot back cover with compatible brackets and use CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors since this -S variant includes the required magnet.
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 MFC20X90SCA FAQ
This 20 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" air 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 force of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors. However, the variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end and acts as a brake; it will not hold a load on air loss, so you need an external rod lock or pilot check valve for vertical holding.
