Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X200CA
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X200CA is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 200mm 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 MFC40X200CA
Delivering 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting 40 mm bore mini cylinder handles heavy loads with precision. The MFC40X200CA features a variable air cushion at both ends, allowing you to dial in a needle valve to absorb high-speed end-of-stroke shock, protecting your machinery and cutting noise. Built with a SUS304 stainless steel barrel and riveted aluminium covers, it resists mild corrosion and washdown environments.
For the same bore and stroke, this JIS-standard round-body cylinder is noticeably shorter than an ISO 6432 unit, saving valuable mounting space. It provides a safe working load of roughly 377 N (about 60% of its 0.5 MPa push rating) and lifts approximately 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 sensors; choose the -S variant if position detection is required.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X200CA Is Used
Heavy Carton Diversion
Leverages the 628.3 N push force to positively divert heavy packaged goods on a high-speed sorting line, with the variable air cushion preventing harsh slams at the 200 mm stroke end.
Press Ejection
Ejects dense stamped parts from a press bed; the SUS304 stainless barrel withstands residual cutting fluids while the adjustable cushion absorbs the sudden mass transfer.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a robust stop gate for loaded pallets, using the CA pivot mount to absorb side loads while safely holding an estimated 377 N working load without shock damage.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X200CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 40 mm bore model, which peaks at a theoretical 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa, consider stepping 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 this series. The adjustable air cushion is essential when moving heavy payloads at high speeds up to 800 mm/s, as it decelerates the piston smoothly. However, the cushion only slows the stroke near the end points—it does not function as a brake or lock. If your system needs to hold a vertical load during air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
This unit features a CA rear pivot cover and a 1/4" port. Mounting flexibility is broad, with options including LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot-block, and TC trunnion brackets. Because this base model has no internal magnet, you cannot mount magnetic switches directly to it; select the -S version to enable CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor integration.
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 MFC40X200CA FAQ
This 40 mm bore cylinder features 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, 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 magnetic switches. You would need the -S variant for sensing. Additionally, while the variable air cushion decelerates the piston at stroke ends, it is not a lock; use a pilot check valve to hold loads.
