Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X200SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X200SCA 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 MFC40X200SCA
Delivering 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting round-body mini cylinder handles heavy loads within a compact JIS-standard footprint. For the same bore and stroke, the riveted SUS304 stainless barrel and aluminium cover construction is noticeably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length. The 1/4" port and 16 mm rod keep airflow and mechanics robust.
A defining feature is the variable air cushion at both ends, allowing you to tune a needle valve to absorb high-speed end-of-stroke shock, protecting the payload and reducing noise. The -S suffix equips the piston with a magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches, while the CA rear pivot cover simplifies articulated mounting. Based on the 0.5 MPa push rating, it provides a safe working load of roughly 377 N, lifting about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X200SCA Is Used
Heavy Carton Diversion
Swiftly pushes heavy loaded cartons across a packaging line at high speed, using the variable air cushion to stop the 200 mm stroke gently without jarring the contents.
Press Ejection
Ejects dense metal or plastic parts from a press bed, using the 628.3 N push force to clear the mould before the next cycle begins.
Pallet Component Sorting
Lifts and diverts heavy components on a palletising station, where the SUS304 barrel resists washdown moisture and the CA pivot handles angular load shifts.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X200SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 40 mm bore, step down to the MFC32 if your load requires less than 402.2 N at 0.5 MPa, as no larger MFC bore exists for heavier demands. The adjustable air cushion is essential when cycling at high speeds or moving substantial mass, ensuring smooth deceleration rather than a harsh impact. Remember this cushion only decelerates near the stroke end; it is not a brake. If you need to prevent drift on air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve. Mounting is versatile via the CA pivot cover, and the built-in magnet supports position sensing.
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 MFC40X200SCA FAQ
This 40 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4" port and a 16 mm rod. 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, the piston will drift if air is lost. The variable air cushion at both ends only decelerates the load near the stroke end; it does not act as a lock or brake. For vertical loads, you must install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
