The AirTAC Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ20X125-100S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 125mm stroke, 1/8" 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.
Dial in the exact extend length on-site with the AirTAC MFCJ20X125-100S, a double-acting JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder featuring a 100 mm adjustable window and needle-set variable air cushions at both ends. The external adjuster shortens the extend stroke from its 125 mm maximum down to 25 mm, while the cushions soak up high-speed end-of-stroke shock. An integrated piston magnet (-S) is included for position sensing.
Built with a SUS304 stainless steel barrel and riveted aluminium covers, this compact body is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same envelope, resisting mild corrosion and washdown. The 20 mm bore uses a 1/8" port and an Ø8 mm rod with an M8x1.25 male thread. Generating 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it yields a safe working load of roughly 94 N, lifting about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 32 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

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.
Ideal for 8 kg vertical press-fits where the exact 25-125 mm extend point must be dialed in on the fly during tooling changeovers.
Handles rapid package diverting at up to 800 mm/s, using the variable air cushion to softly decelerate the 157 N thrust without slamming.
Perfect for compact lab testers needing a washdown-resistant SUS304 body and a 100 mm adjustable stroke window to fine-tune specimen contact depth.
When sizing this series, compare the bores directly: this 20 mm bore provides 157 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the MFCJ25 yields 245.3 N. Choose the 20 mm bore for lighter, high-speed changeovers where both the stroke endpoint and end-of-stroke shock need on-site tuning. The variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of travel; it is not a brake. If the machine loses air, the piston drifts, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended load.
Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, and TC trunnion (no SDB or back-cover mount). Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you can directly mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and electronic switches for end-position feedback.
Quick checklist
This 20 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" air port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. It generates 157 N push and 131.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 219.8 N push and 184.7 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum force of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The external adjuster shortens the extend stroke by up to 100 mm (usable range 25-125 mm), while the needle variable air cushion at both ends decelerates the piston near stroke end. This -S model includes a piston magnet for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The cushion is not a lock; use a pilot check valve for load holding.
