The AirTAC Airtac MFC Cushioned Stainless Steel Mini Cylinder MFC40X75CM is a genuine double acting + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 75mm 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.
Tame high-velocity end-of-stroke impacts with the AirTAC MFC40X75CM, a 40mm bore, 75mm stroke double-acting mini cylinder. A variable air cushion at both ends lets you dial in the needle valve to decelerate heavy 879.6N loads at 0.7MPa, protecting your machinery where a fixed bumper would fail. The riveted aluminium covers and SUS304 stainless barrel resist mild corrosion and washdown environments.
Delivering a robust 628.3N push force at 0.5MPa, this JIS-standard round-body actuator is notably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same bore and stroke, saving valuable mounting length. The CM round-end rear cover simplifies direct pivoting. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The 1/4" port and M14x1.5 male rod thread ensure high flow and rigid load coupling.

MF-family variants: MF / MFC (double acting ±cushion), MSF / MTF (single acting push / pull), MFD / MFCD (double rod ±cushion), MFJ / MFCJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
Handles heavy carton diversion on high-speed belts using the 628.3N push force, while the needle-set air cushion silently stops the 75mm stroke without slamming.
Ejects dense metal stampings from a press bed, relying on the 879.6N push at 0.7MPa and the SUS304 stainless build to withstand oily industrial splatter.
Acts as a robust pneumatic stop for loaded pallets, safely absorbing the kinetic energy of the impact via the adjustable dual-end cushions before reversing.
When sizing this 40mm bore, step down to the MFC32 if your application only requires 402.2N push at 0.5MPa, as no larger MFC bore exists for heavier demands. The variable air cushion is essential when cycling at high speeds 30-800mm/s with bulky payloads, as it absorbs kinetic energy without bouncing. This model features a CM round-end cover suitable for pivot mounts; pair it with LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets as needed.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end, it does not function as a brake. If air pressure drops, the piston will drift and cannot hold position. For suspended or vertical loads, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Since this base unit has no magnet, switch to an MFC40X75CM-S variant if you require position sensing.
Quick checklist
This 40mm bore cylinder pushes 628.3N and pulls 527.8N at 0.5MPa. At 0.7MPa it pushes 879.6N and pulls 738.9N. The theoretical maximum force is 128.1kgf at 1.0MPa. It uses a 1/4" air port and a 16mm rod with an M14x1.5 male thread.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches will not function. You must order the -S variant for position sensing. The variable air cushion at both ends only serves to decelerate the load near stroke end, not to hold it in place.
