Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC25X60SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC25X60SCM 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 MFC25X60SCM
Delivering 245.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder relies on a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers to handle mild washdown environments. The 25 mm bore uses a 1/8" port and a two-way oil-retaining seal, while the front cover carries a fixed anti-impact pad. A built-in piston magnet (-S) enables CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches for position detection.
Tuned by a needle valve, the variable air cushion at both ends absorbs high-speed end-of-stroke shock to protect payloads and reduce noise compared to a simple bumper. For the same bore and stroke, the riveted body is physically shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length. Based on the 0.5 MPa thrust, expect a safe working load near 147 N, lifting roughly 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC25X60SCM Is Used
Bottle Diverting
Snaps product across a packaging line at speed; the needle-set air cushion halts the 25 mm piston gently to prevent glass breakage.
Light Press Fit
Drives small bearings into housings using the 245.3 N thrust, relying on the cushion to soften the mechanical impact at the stroke end.
Vertical Lift Stop
Raises a 12.5 kg tote using the 0.5 MPa push force, where the shorter JIS body length frees up tight vertical machine space.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC25X60SCM 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 outputs 402.2 N. The adjustable air cushion is essential when cycling at high speeds or moving heavy masses, though it only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and acts purely as a shock absorber rather than a braking lock.
Because a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure drops or the valve is centred, you must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold a suspended load safely. This specific configuration includes a CM round-end rear cover and a male M10x1.25 rod thread for straightforward pivot mounting.
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 MFC25X60SCM FAQ
This 25 mm bore double-acting cylinder pushes with 245.3 N and pulls with 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, push force is 343.4 N and pull is 288.5 N, with a theoretical maximum of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a 1/8" air port and operates between 0.15 and 1.0 MPa.
No, the variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of the stroke and does not function as a lock or brake. If air pressure drops, the piston will drift, so you need an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a load. The SUS304 stainless build and -S magnet for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors make it highly durable and trackable.
