Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X100UTC
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X100UTC 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 MFC40X100UTC
Delivering 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this 40 mm bore double-acting mini cylinder handles heavy loads with precision. The variable air cushion at both ends lets you dial in the needle valve to absorb end-of-stroke shock at high speeds, protecting your machinery and reducing noise far better than a fixed bumper. Its JIS-standard round-body construction uses a SUS304 stainless steel barrel with riveted aluminium covers, resisting mild corrosion and washdown environments.
For the same bore and stroke, the MFC body is significantly shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting space. With a 100 mm stroke and a 1/4" port, it provides a safe working load of roughly 377 N, lifting about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Note that this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X100UTC Is Used
High-Speed Diverters
Leverages the 628.3 N push force to redirect heavy packages on a conveyor, while the variable air cushion prevents harsh impacts during rapid 100 mm strokes.
Carton Sealing Press
Applies consistent downward pressure for carton folding, using the needle-adjustable cushion to protect the sealing head from end-of-stroke shock at high cycle rates.
Pallet Lift Station
Raises lower-tier pallet components with a safe working load of 377 N, relying on the TC trunnion mount to accommodate angular misalignment during the lift.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X100UTC the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 40 mm bore, step down to the MFC32 if your application only requires 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, as 40 mm is the largest available bore in the series. The adjustable cushion is essential when operating at the top of the 30-800 mm/s speed range or moving heavy masses, as it decelerates the piston smoothly. Keep in mind the air cushion only slows the stroke near the end points; it is not a brake, and the piston will drift if air pressure drops. For suspended loads that must hold position on air loss, fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
This model comes with a U-type flat-end back cover and uses a TC trunnion mounting accessory for pivot articulation. Because this configuration omits the -S magnet, it cannot support magnetic sensing; if you need CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches, select an -S variant instead.
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 MFC40X100UTC FAQ
This 40 mm bore double-acting cylinder features a 1/4" port and a 16 mm piston rod. It delivers 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, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. It features a variable air cushion at both ends; you adjust a needle valve to decelerate the piston near the stroke end, which reduces shock and noise at high speeds without acting as a locking brake.
