Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X60UTC
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X60UTC 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 MFC40X60UTC
Delivering 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting 40 mm bore mini cylinder handles heavy fast cycles with ease. The MFC40X60UTC features a variable air cushion at both ends; you simply turn the needle valve to absorb end-of-stroke shock, protecting your payload far better than a fixed rubber bumper. Built with a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers, it resists mild corrosion and washdown. For the same bore and stroke, this JIS-standard round-body design is noticeably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder, saving valuable machine space.
Equipped with a 1/4 inch port and a 16 mm rod with an M14x1.5 male thread, it generates a safe working load of about 377 N. In a vertical setup, that translates to lifting roughly 32 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. This specific SKU has a U flat-end back cover and a TC trunnion mount, but it lacks the -S magnet, meaning it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors. If position feedback is required, an external mechanical switch must be fitted.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X60UTC Is Used
Heavy Carton Diversion
Uses the 628.3 N push force to swiftly deflect heavy packaged goods on a high-speed sorting line, with the variable cushion preventing harsh impacts at the 60 mm stroke end.
Press Ejection
Ejects dense metal or plastic blanks from a press bed; the needle-set air cushion absorbs the kinetic energy of the fast retract, protecting the U flat-end cover from shock.
Pallet Stopper Arm
Acts as a robust stop for incoming pallets, relying on the 16 mm rod to absorb heavy inertia while the TC trunnion mount accommodates slight alignment shifts.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X60UTC the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 40 mm bore, step down to an MFC32 if your load requires less than 402.2 N at 0.5 MPa, as no larger MFC bore exists. The adjustable air cushion is essential here for high-speed or heavy loads, letting you dial in the exact deceleration to prevent end-of-stroke banging. Keep in mind the cushion only slows the piston near the end of travel; it is not a brake. If your application must hold a vertical load during air loss or valve centring, the piston will drift, so you must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. This model includes a TC trunnion mount and a U flat-end rear cover, but because it lacks the -S suffix, magnetic sensing is not supported.
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 MFC40X60UTC FAQ
This 40 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/4 inch 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.
No, this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet option, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for internal sensing. The SUS304 stainless build provides washdown resistance, and the variable air cushion at both ends merely decelerates the load near stroke end rather than locking it.
