Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X60CM
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X60CM is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 60mm 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 MFC40X60CM
Delivering 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless mini cylinder tackles heavy loads with precision. The MFC40X60CM features a JIS-standard round-body construction with a SUS304 barrel and riveted aluminium covers, making the overall body shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same bore and stroke. A CM round-end back cover supports flexible mounting in tight machinery layouts.
A defining trait of the MFC series is the variable air cushion at both ends, allowing you to turn a needle to soak up end-of-stroke shock at high speeds, protecting the load and cutting noise versus a bumper mini. This 40 mm bore unit uses a 1/4" port and a 16 mm rod with an M14x1.5 male thread. For practical sizing, it yields a safe working load of roughly 377 N, lifting about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note this SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot take CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X60CM Is Used
Heavy Clamping Stations
Uses the 628.3 N push force to secure dense metal parts during machining, while the needle-set air cushion prevents jarring impacts at cycle end.
Package Diverters
Handles robust sorting arms where the 60 mm stroke rapidly pushes heavy cartons, relying on variable end-cushioning to silence shock noise.
Pallet Stops
Acts as a high-force end-stop on roller conveyors, using the SUS304 stainless barrel to resist washdown moisture in distribution hubs.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X60CM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 40 mm bore, step down to the MFC32 if your application only needs 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, as no larger MFC bore exists for heavier demands. The variable air cushion is essential when cycling at high speeds or moving heavy masses, as it decelerates the piston near stroke end to reduce impact. Remember this cushion is not a lock or brake; the piston will drift on air loss, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended load. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, and TC trunnion.
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 MFC40X60CM 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, or 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 switches. You would need the -S variant for position sensing. The cylinder also features a SUS304 stainless barrel and a variable air cushion at both ends to decelerate loads smoothly.
