Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X100SCMTC
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X100SCMTC is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 100mm stroke, 1/4" 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 MFC40X100SCMTC
Delivering 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting 40 mm bore mini cylinder handles heavy-duty actuation with precision. The MFC40X100SCMTC features a variable air cushion at both ends, letting you dial in a needle valve to absorb high-speed end-of-stroke shock, protecting your payload and cutting workshop noise. Its SUS304 stainless round barrel and riveted aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdown environments.
Built to JIS standards, the riveted body is notably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same 100 mm stroke, saving valuable mounting length. The 1/4" port and M14x1.5 male rod thread ensure robust airflow and attachment for high-cycle tasks. With a safe working load around 377 N, it provides reliable vertical lifting of about 32 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position sensing.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X100SCMTC Is Used
Heavy Carton Diverting
Pushes loaded pallets and heavy cartons at high speed on a packaging line, using the adjustable air cushion to halt the 628.3 N thrust smoothly without jarring the contents.
Vertical Material Lift
Raises and lowers a 32 kg fixture in a vertical lift station, relying on the 1/4" port for rapid actuation and the SUS304 barrel for humid environments.
Press Tool Ejection
Ejects dense machined parts from a press bed, where the TC trunnion accommodates slight misalignment and the needle-set cushion softens the retraction stop.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X100SCMTC the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing less thrust, step down to the MFC32 bore, which provides 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The MFC40 represents the largest bore in this series, so for higher loads you would need to switch to a different cylinder family entirely. Choose this 40 mm model when moving heavy fixtures at high speeds, where tuning the variable air cushion is critical to prevent impact damage.
The included TC trunnion mount pairs with the CM round-end rear cover to support pivoting loads, while the -S magnet enables electronic or reed switch integration. Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function as a brake. If your system loses air, the piston will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for suspended loads.
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 MFC40X100SCMTC FAQ
This 40 mm bore double-acting cylinder uses a 1/4" air port. It generates 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 879.6 N push and 738.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of the stroke and acts purely as a shock absorber, not a brake. If air is lost, the piston will drift. For suspended loads, you must install an external rod lock or pilot check valve. The -S magnet allows CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors to confirm position.
