Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X10CM
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X10CM is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 10mm 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 MFC40X10CM
Delivering 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this 40 mm bore double-acting mini cylinder handles heavy-duty motion in a compact footprint. The MFC40X10CM features a needle-adjustable variable air cushion at both ends, allowing you to dial in end-of-stroke deceleration to absorb shock and reduce noise during high-speed 10 mm strokes. Its JIS-standard round-body construction uses a SUS304 stainless barrel with riveted aluminium covers, yielding a package notably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same bore and stroke.
With a 1/4" port and an M14x1.5 male rod thread, the unit is built for robust actuation. The SUS304 build resists mild corrosion and washdown environments. Based on the 0.5 MPa push rating, it yields a safe working load of roughly 377 N, or about 32 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 safety margin. Note 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 MFC40X10CM Is Used
Short-Stroke Clamping
Exerts up to 879.6 N at 0.7 MPa to secure heavy metal workpieces, while the 10 mm stroke and air cushion prevent harsh mechanical slamming.
Package Diverting
Handles robust sorting arms where the 628.3 N thrust easily pushes dense cartons, with the cushion needle tuned to soften the abrupt 10 mm reversal.
Press Pinning
Drives fasteners or pins into housings using the 128.1 kgf theoretical maximum, relying on the riveted SUS304 body to withstand repeated shock loads.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X10CM the Right Cylinder?
If 628.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa is excessive for your payload, step down to the MFC32 bore, which provides 402.2 N; as 40 mm is the largest available MFC size, moving up requires a different cylinder family. The variable air cushion is essential when driving heavy loads at high speeds, as it protects the mechanism from harsh impacts—though it strictly decelerates the piston and never acts as a locking brake. Because this non-S model cannot host magnetic sensors, you must rely on mechanical stops or external limit detection. For position retention under air loss, fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, and TC trunnion, complementing the CM round-end rear cover.
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 MFC40X10CM FAQ
This 40 mm bore double-acting cylinder uses a 1/4" port and an M14x1.5 male rod thread. It generates 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 879.6 N push and 738.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU lacks the internal magnet (-S option) and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. It features a variable air cushion at both ends to decelerate loads, and its SUS304 stainless barrel with a CM round-end cover provides excellent corrosion resistance.
