The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC25X75SCM 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 25 mm bore 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 aluminium covers and SUS304 stainless barrel resist mild corrosion and washdown, while the CM round-end rear cover neatly finishes the compact JIS-standard round body.
Because the body is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same 75 mm stroke, it saves valuable mounting length. The piston uses a two-way oil-retaining seal and the front cover carries a fixed anti-impact pad. With a safe working load of roughly 147 N, it lifts about 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The -S suffix means a built-in magnet is present for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches, and the 1/8" port keeps airflow compact.

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.
Snaps product lanes at speed; the adjustable air cushion softens the 75 mm stroke impact to protect guide rails.
Tucks heavy cardboard flaps with 245.3 N of push force, using the cushion to prevent jarring stops that misalign glue.
Raises 12.5 kg wares through 75 mm; the SUS304 barrel handles damp packing areas without corroding.
If 157 N from the MFC20 is too light and 402.2 N from the MFC32 is excessive, this 25 mm bore hits the sweet spot at 245.3 N push (0.5 MPa). The variable air cushion matters most when driving heavy loads at high speed, letting you dial in the deceleration to protect the workpiece. Remember the cushion only slows the piston near stroke end; it is not a brake. If you need to hold a load vertically on air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve, as the piston will drift. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot and TC trunnion.
Quick checklist
This 25 mm bore cylinder has a 1/8" port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. It delivers 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 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. The variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it is not a lock or brake. The piston will drift on air loss. For vertical holding, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. The -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors for position feedback.
