Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC25X65SCM
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.

About the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC25X65SCM
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.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC25X65SCM Is Used
Package Diverting
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.
Film Sealing Press
Brings a heated seal head down onto packaging film, relying on the 1/8" ported 25 mm bore for steady clamping and smooth retraction.
Small Part Ejection
Pushes molded components out of a jig, where the SUS304 stainless barrel withstands occasional coolant splash and the CM rear cover eases fitting.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC25X65SCM the Right Cylinder?
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
- ✓ 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 MFC25X65SCM FAQ
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.
