Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X95SU
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X95SU is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 95mm 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 MFC20X95SU
High-speed actuation demands precise end-of-stroke control, which the AirTAC MFC20X95SU delivers through needle-adjustable variable air cushions at both ends. This 20 mm bore, 95 mm stroke double-acting mini cylinder provides a 157 N push at 0.5 MPa, making it a solid fit for compact automation. Its JIS-standard round-body construction uses a SUS304 stainless barrel with riveted aluminium covers, and for the same bore and stroke it is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder.
The integrated -S piston magnet supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors for position feedback, while the U flat-end rear cover simplifies direct mounting. Operating at speeds from 30 to 800 mm/s, this unit handles a safe working load of roughly 94 N and lifts about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. It uses a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X95SU Is Used
Light-Part Ejection
Cushions the 95 mm stroke at high speed to push small plastic components out of a mould without bouncing, utilising the 157 N push force effectively.
Package Sorting Diverter
Uses the integrated magnet for precise sensor feedback when deflecting lightweight cartons on a fast packaging line.
Compact Assembly Press
Fits into tight machinery cells thanks to the JIS round-body design, pressing small bearings with a safe working load of 94 N.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC20X95SU the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 20 mm bore actuator, verify your load against the 157 N push force at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less power, no smaller MFC bore exists, but stepping up to the MFC25 increases the push force to 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa. The variable air cushion is essential for smoothing out high-velocity strokes and protecting the payload, though it only decelerates the piston near the end of travel. It does not function as a brake.
Because a standard cylinder cannot hold a load if air pressure drops or the valve is centered, you must add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve for suspended loads. This SU configuration includes the magnet for electronic or reed switches and features a U flat-end back cover. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot and TC trunnion brackets.
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 MFC20X95SU FAQ
This 20 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. It generates a push force of 157 N and a pull force of 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push is 219.8 N and the pull is 184.7 N. The theoretical maximum force is 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 does not act as a lock. For vertical loads, you must install an external rod lock or pilot check valve to prevent drifting if air pressure is lost.
