Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X200SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X200SCM 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 MFC40X200SCM
Delivering 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this 40 mm bore double-acting cylinder is built for heavier automation tasks. The MFC40X200SCM features a variable air cushion at both ends, letting you dial in a needle valve to absorb high-speed end-of-stroke shock. This riveted round-body mini uses a SUS304 stainless barrel and aluminium covers to resist mild corrosion and washdown environments.
For the same 40 mm bore and 200 mm stroke, the JIS-standard body is noticeably shorter than a typical ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable machine space. Driven through a 1/4" port, it achieves a safe working load of about 377 N, meaning it can lift roughly 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The included -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches, while the CM round-end rear cover completes the assembly.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X200SCM Is Used
Package Diverting
Handles heavier cartons on high-speed sorting lines where the 879.6 N push force at 0.7 MPa drives rigid diverting arms without bounce.
Pallet Positioning
Lifts and positions loaded pallets up to 32 kg vertically, using the dual variable air cushions to prevent harsh slams at the 200 mm stroke ends.
Press Ejection
Ejects dense manufactured parts from a press bed, relying on the SUS304 stainless barrel to withstand occasional coolant washdown.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X200SCM the Right Cylinder?
If 628.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa is excessive for your payload, stepping down to the MFC32 yields 402.2 N, which is the largest smaller option available. Since 40 mm is the maximum bore in this series, any application requiring greater thrust will need a different cylinder family. Choose this model when moving heavier masses at high cycling speeds, as the adjustable air cushion is critical for preventing impact damage.
Remember that the cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and does not function as a brake. If your system must hold a vertical load during air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve. The CM back cover pairs with standard LB, FA, SDB, and TC mountings for flexible installation.
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 MFC40X200SCM FAQ
This 40 mm bore double-acting cylinder uses 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.
It features a variable air cushion at both ends that uses a needle valve to decelerate the piston near the stroke limits, reducing shock at high speeds. It is not a locking mechanism; the piston will drift if air pressure is lost, so you need an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a load.
