The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC25X65SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 65mm 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.
Dial in end-of-stroke deceleration with the AirTAC MFC25X65SCM, a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder built for double-acting service. A needle-set variable air cushion at both ends absorbs high-speed shock, protecting your payload far better than a fixed rubber bumper. The SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers shrug off mild corrosion and washdown environments, while the CM round-end rear cover simplifies direct mounting.
In the 25 mm bore class, this unit delivers a 245.3 N push force at 0.5 MPa, drawing 206.1 N on the return stroke. That translates to a safe working load of roughly 147 N, or about 12.5 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. It features a 1/8" port, an M10x1.25 male rod thread, and a built-in piston magnet (-S) for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. For the same bore and stroke, the riveted rolling-packed body is noticeably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable machine space.

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.
Stops and diverts lightweight cartons at 30-800 mm/s without slamming, using the dual variable air cushions to soften the 245.3 N push impact.
Brings a heated seal head down onto packaging film, relying on the 1/8" ported 25 mm bore for steady clamping and smooth retraction.
Pushes molded components out of a jig, where the SUS304 stainless barrel withstands occasional coolant splash and the CM rear cover eases fitting.
When sizing this 25 mm bore, check both ends of the range: if 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa is excessive, step down to the MFC20 which outputs 157 N; if you need more muscle, the MFC32 provides 402.2 N. The variable air cushion is essential when cycling at high speeds or moving heavy masses, as it prevents harsh end-of-stroke impacts. However, this cylinder does not hold position on air loss—the piston will drift if pressure drops, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for suspended loads. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot and TC trunnion, and the integrated magnet (-S) is ready for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder pushes with 245.3 N and pulls with 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, push is 343.4 N and pull is 288.5 N. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a 1/8" air port and a 10 mm rod with an M10x1.25 male thread.
No, the needle-set variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end to reduce shock; it is not a brake or lock. The piston will drift on air loss, so use an external rod lock for holding. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you can mount CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches for position sensing.
