Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X60SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X60SCA 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 MFC40X60SCA
Delivering 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder handles heavy loads with precision. The 40 mm bore uses a 1/4" port and a 16 mm rod with an M14x1.5 male thread. A needle-set variable air cushion at both ends absorbs high-speed end-of-stroke shock, protecting your payload far better than a fixed bumper. The riveted aluminium covers and SUS304 stainless barrel resist mild corrosion and washdown. For the same bore and stroke, the MFC body is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable mounting length.
With the built-in -S magnet, you can mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed or electronic switches directly for position sensing. The CA rear pivot cover allows direct pivoting mounting. Based on the 0.5 MPa push rating, this actuator yields a safe working load of about 377 N, meaning it can vertically lift roughly 32 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The piston relies on a two-way oil-retaining seal, while the front cover carries a fixed anti-impact pad to further soften mechanical contact.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X60SCA Is Used
Heavy Clamping Press
Exerts a steady 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa to hold thick metal plates, while the needle-set air cushion decelerates the 16 mm rod smoothly to prevent marking the die.
Package Divert Gate
Shifts heavy cartons along a sorting line where the CA rear pivot accommodates the angular motion and the SUS304 barrel withstands humid washdown environments.
Vertical 32 kg Lift
Raises components weighing up to 32 kg against gravity with a 2:1 safety margin, relying on the fixed front bumper and adjustable end cushions to absorb stopping energy.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X60SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 40 mm bore actuator, evaluate both directions: 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 a different series. The variable air cushion is essential when cycling at high speeds or moving heavy masses, as it decelerates the piston smoothly. Remember that the cushion only slows the stroke near the end and does not act as a lock; the piston will drift if air pressure drops or the valve is centered. For suspended loads that must hold position on air loss, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Pair the -S magnet option with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors, and utilize the CA back cover for pivot-style mounting.
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 MFC40X60SCA FAQ
This 40 mm bore double-acting cylinder features a 1/4" port and a 16 mm rod with an M14x1.5 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 force of 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The included -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors to detect position, but the cylinder cannot hold a load on air loss because the piston drifts. The variable air cushion only decelerates the stroke near the end and is not a brake; use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for holding suspended loads.
