Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC25X80SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC25X80SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 80mm 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 MFC25X80SCM
Designed to absorb high-velocity impacts, this JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder relies on a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends rather than a simple rubber bumper. The SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers supply mild washdown resistance, while the CM round-end rear cover and 80 mm stroke handle compact placement. Because the MFC25X80SCM includes the -S magnet, it is fully ready for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position switches.
Operating at 0.5 MPa, the 25 mm bore generates 245.3 N of push force and 206.1 N of pull force via its 1/8" port, peaking at a theoretical 50 kgf. That translates to a safe working load of roughly 147 N, or about 12.5 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. For the same bore and stroke, this riveted body is notably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable machine space without conforming to that standard.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC25X80SCM Is Used
Package Diverting
Pushes light cartons at high speed onto adjacent conveyor lanes; the dual variable air cushions prevent harsh slams that could scuff packaging.
Small Press Ejection
Kicks stamped parts out of a die area using 245.3 N of push force, relying on the needle-set deceleration to protect delicate tooling.
Vertical Part Lifting
Raises lightweight fixtures up to 12.5 kg against gravity with a 2:1 safety factor, taking advantage of the compact CM round-end body.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC25X80SCM the Right Cylinder?
If 245.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa is too much, step down to the MFC20 bore which provides 157 N; if you need more muscle, the MFC32 bore offers 402.2 N. The adjustable air cushion is essential when moving heavier masses at high cycling speeds, as it decelerates the piston near the end caps to reduce shock and noise.
Remember that the cushion only slows the load near stroke end and does not function as a brake. If your application must hold position during air loss or valve centering, the piston will drift, so you should fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. You can mount this unit using LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot or TC trunnion hardware.
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 MFC25X80SCM FAQ
This 25 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. At 0.5 MPa it provides 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa those figures rise to 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
It uses a variable air cushion at both ends with a needle valve to dial in deceleration for high-speed strokes. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you can directly mount CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed or electronic switches for position detection.
