Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X200CM
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X200CM 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 MFC40X200CM
Delivering 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting round-body mini cylinder handles heavy 200 mm strokes with ease. A variable air cushion at both ends lets you dial in the needle valve to absorb high-speed end-of-travel shock, protecting your machinery and cutting noise far better than a fixed bumper.
Built with a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers, it resists mild corrosion and washdown environments. For the same bore and stroke, the JIS-standard body is noticeably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length. This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors. It features a 1/4 inch port, an M14x1.5 male rod thread, and a CM round-end rear cover.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X200CM Is Used
Package Diverting
Pushes heavy cartons at high speed across transfer lines; the adjustable air cushion prevents harsh slams that could damage packaging.
Vertical Pressing
Applies up to 879.6 N of push force at 0.7 MPa for seating components, using the needle valve to soften the bottoming impact.
Pallet Stops
Halts loaded pallets on conveyors, absorbing the kinetic energy smoothly via the dual end cushions to reduce mechanical wear.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X200CM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 40 mm bore, check both ends of the range. If 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa is excessive, step down to the MFC32, which provides 402.2 N. Since 40 mm is the largest available MFC bore, moving up requires switching to a different cylinder family. The adjustable cushion is essential when driving heavy loads at high speeds, but remember it only decelerates the piston near the stroke end—it is not a brake. The piston will drift if air pressure drops, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve for suspended loads. To add position sensing, you must select the -S magnet variant, as this base model cannot host a switch.
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 MFC40X200CM FAQ
This 40 mm bore cylinder has a 1/4 inch 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 does not include a magnet. You must order the -S variant to use CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. The variable air cushion and SUS304 stainless barrel are standard, but the cushion only decelerates the load; it does not lock position.
