Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X700SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X700SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 700mm 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 MFC40X700SCM
Delivering 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting round-body mini cylinder handles heavy loads with ease. It features a JIS-standard SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers, giving you a body that is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same bore and stroke. The 700 mm stroke is a non-standard, made-to-order length that exceeds the 500 mm standard maximum.
A built-in piston magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for position sensing. The variable air cushion at both ends uses a needle to soak up high-speed end-of-stroke shock, protecting your machinery. With a 1/4 inch port and a safe working load around 377 N, it lifts about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The CM round-end back cover completes the assembly.

Where the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X700SCM Is Used
Long-Stroke Diverting
Pushes heavy pallets across a 700 mm gap with 628.3 N force while the needle-set air cushion prevents end-of-stroke impact.
Vertical Material Lowering
Lowers 30 kg fixtures smoothly; the CM round-end cover and adjustable cushion absorb the downward kinetic energy safely.
Large Carton Forming
Actuates heavy folding mechanisms on large packaging lines, relying on the SUS304 barrel for washdown durability.
Is the Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X700SCM the Right Cylinder?
If 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa is too much force, step down to the MFC32 which provides 402.2 N; since 40 mm is the largest available bore in this series, you cannot size up. This 700 mm made-to-order stroke requires careful load calculation. The variable air cushion is essential when cycling at high speeds or moving heavy masses, as it decelerates the piston smoothly. Note that the cushion only reduces shock near the stroke end and does not act as a brake; if you need to hold a load vertically during air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve. 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 MFC40X700SCM FAQ
This 40 mm bore cylinder has a 700 mm non-standard stroke and a 1/4 inch port. 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, the piston will drift on air loss. The variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and is not a lock or brake. To hold a vertical load securely, you must add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
