Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X60SU
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X60SU 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 MFC40X60SU
Delivering 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting 40 mm bore mini cylinder is built for heavier fast-paced tasks. The riveted aluminium covers and SUS304 stainless barrel resist mild corrosion and washdown, while the U flat-end rear cover simplifies direct mounting. Because it is a JIS-standard round-body design, the overall length is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same 60 mm stroke, saving valuable machine space.
The defining feature is the variable air cushion at both ends; a needle valve lets you dial in the deceleration to absorb high-speed end-of-stroke shock, protecting the load and cutting noise. The -S suffix means a piston magnet is installed for position sensing. In practical terms, it provides a safe working load of about 377 N, or lifts roughly 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The 1/4" port and M14x1.5 male rod thread handle the required airflow for speeds of 30-800 mm/s.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X60SU Is Used
Heavy Carton Diversion
Uses the 628.3 N push force to positively deflect heavy packed cartons on a high-speed sorting line, with the air cushion preventing end-stroke jarring.
Pallet Lid Press
Holds a lid in place during fast pallet wrapping, relying on the 60 mm stroke and U flat-end cover for stable, compact rear mounting.
Component Seating
Pushes bearings into housings on an automated press, using the needle-set cushion to slow the 40 mm piston before impact and avoid damaging the part.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X60SU the Right Cylinder?
If 628.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa is excessive, step down to the MFC32 which provides 402.2 N; since 40 mm is the largest bore in the MFC family, moving up requires a different series. The adjustable cushion is essential when moving heavy masses at high velocity, as it prevents harsh impacts. For vertical or suspended loads, remember the cushion only decelerates near the stroke end and does not act as a brake; the piston will drift on air loss, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve. The -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches for feedback, and mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or 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 MFC40X60SU FAQ
This 40 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4" port and a 16 mm rod with an M14x1.5 male thread. 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 variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and is not a lock or brake. If air is lost, the piston will drift. For suspended or vertical loads, you must install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. The -S magnet enables CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors for position confirmation.
