Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC25X60CM
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC25X60CM is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm 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 MFC25X60CM
Delivering 245.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this 25 mm bore double-acting mini cylinder tackles light automation with precision. The 60 mm stroke unit features a CM round-end rear cover and a 1/8" air port. A two-way oil-retaining piston seal and a fixed front anti-impact pad ensure smooth operation across the 30-800 mm/s speed range.
Unlike basic bumper models, the MFC25X60CM uses a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends to soak up high-speed end-of-stroke shock, protecting the load and reducing noise. The SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdown. For the same bore and stroke, this JIS-standard round-body design is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length. It provides a safe working load of roughly 147 N and lifts about 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC25X60CM Is Used
Package Diverting
Pushes small cartons off a high-speed belt using 245.3 N of thrust, relying on the adjustable air cushion to stop the 60 mm stroke smoothly without slamming.
Component Seating
Seats light assemblies into fixtures, where the 12.5 kg vertical lift capacity and needle-set deceleration prevent damage to delicate parts at cycle end.
Flap Folding
Folds cardboard flaps on compact packaging lines, benefiting from the shorter JIS body length and CM round-end cover to fit into tight machine frames.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC25X60CM the Right Cylinder?
If 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa is too much force, step down to the MFC20 bore which provides 157 N; if your payload requires more thrust, the MFC32 bore offers 402.2 N. The variable air cushion is essential when cycling at high speeds or moving heavier masses, as it decelerates the piston near the stroke end to prevent impact damage. Note that the cushion only slows the piston and is not a lock; the piston will drift on air loss or when the valve is centred, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if you must hold a load. This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors; choose an -S variant if position feedback is required.
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 MFC25X60CM FAQ
This 25 mm bore cylinder has a 1/8" air port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. It generates 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet. You must select an -S variant of the MFC to use CMSG, DMSG or EMSG magnetic switches. The variable air cushion at both ends only serves to decelerate the piston near the stroke end and does not lock or hold the load.
