The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC25X75CMTC is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 75mm 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.
Delivering 245.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting mini cylinder relies on a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends to soak up high-speed end-of-stroke shock. The riveted SUS304 stainless barrel and aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdown, while the CM round-end rear cover and TC trunnion mounting simplify pivot installations. For the same bore and stroke, the JIS-standard body is noticeably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable machine length.
Equipped with a 10 mm rod and 1/8" port, it moves loads at 30-800 mm/s. A practical safe working load is roughly 147 N, or about 12.5 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Note this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, meaning it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors; add the -S variant if you require position detection.

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.
Uses the 245.3 N thrust to push parcels onto adjacent belts, with the variable air cushion preventing harsh impacts during rapid 75 mm strokes.
Applies steady clamping force on small assemblies, relying on the riveted SUS304 stainless build to handle mildly humid shop environments.
Pivots via the TC trunnion to tuck carton flaps at speed, where the adjustable end cushions cut noise and protect the cardboard from crushing.
When sizing this 25 mm bore, step down to the MFC20 if your load requires just 157 N at 0.5 MPa, or move up to the MFC32 when you need 402.2 N. The variable air cushion is essential if you are cycling at high speeds or moving heavy masses, as it decelerates the piston smoothly to protect the workpiece. It is strictly a deceleration device, not a brake.
Because this non-magnet version cannot carry switches, choose the -S option if your control system needs end-of-stroke feedback. The included TC trunnion pairs perfectly with the CM back cover for pivoting loads. Remember that a standard cylinder drifts when air pressure drops, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you must hold a load safely during an outage.
Quick checklist
This 25 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" port and a 10 mm rod. It generates 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches cannot be used. You must select the -S variant for position sensing. The variable air cushion at both ends only serves to decelerate the load near stroke end and does not lock or hold position.
