Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X150CM
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X150CM is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 150mm 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 MFC40X150CM
Delivering 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, the AirTAC MFC40X150CM is a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder built for demanding actuation. It features a 40 mm bore, a 16 mm rod, and a 1/4 inch port. The variable air cushion at both ends lets you dial in a needle valve to absorb high-speed end-of-stroke shock, protecting your payload while cutting noise. A CM round-end back cover completes the assembly.
The riveted aluminium covers and SUS304 stainless barrel resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. For the same bore and stroke, this MFC body is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length. Based on the 0.5 MPa push rating, it handles a safe working load of roughly 377 N, lifting about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors without switching to an -S variant.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X150CM Is Used
Package Diverting
Drives high-speed sorting gates on packaging lines, using the variable air cushion to stop the 150 mm stroke gently without jarring the mechanism.
Pallet Positioning
Pushes heavy pallets into alignment stations, leveraging the 628.3 N push force and SUS304 construction to withstand industrial dust and washdown.
Vertical Lowering
Lowers 30 kg material hoppers smoothly, relying on the adjustable needle to prevent end-of-stroke impact on the downward return cycle.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X150CM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 40 mm bore, step down to the MFC32 if your task needs only 402.2 N at 0.5 MPa, as no larger MFC bore exists for loads exceeding the 628.3 N provided here. The adjustable air cushion is essential when cycling heavy loads at high speeds, as it decelerates the piston smoothly near stroke end. Remember that this cushion is not a brake; if air pressure drops, the piston will drift. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold a load securely. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, and TC trunnion brackets.
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 MFC40X150CM FAQ
This 40 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4 inch port and an M14x1.5 male rod thread. At 0.5 MPa it provides 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it delivers 879.6 N push and 738.9 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must select an -S variant for position sensing. The cylinder uses a SUS304 stainless barrel and a variable air cushion to decelerate loads, but it will not hold position on air loss.
