The AirTAC Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ20X125-30S 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.
Tune extend travel on-site with the AirTAC MFCJ20X125-30S, a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder offering a 30 mm adjustment window (usable extend 95-125 mm) alongside needle-set variable air cushions at both ends. The riveted SUS304 stainless barrel and aluminium covers yield a body that is physically shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same 20 mm bore and 125 mm stroke, saving mounting length while resisting mild washdown.
Delivering 157 N push and 131.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa on a 1/8" port, this double-acting actuator provides a safe working load of roughly 94 N and lifts about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches, and the cushion purely decelerates the piston near stroke end without acting as a lock.

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.
Dial in the exact 95-125 mm extend position during automated assembly changeovers, letting the variable cushion absorb high-speed impacts without jarring delicate 8 kg workpieces.
Adjust the extend stroke on the fly to match varying box depths, using the 157 N push force to cleanly fold flaps while the needle cushion guarantees smooth end-of-stroke deceleration.
Fine-tune the extend end-point within the 30 mm window for precise fluid dispensing heads, relying on the SUS304 barrel for mild corrosion resistance in wet test environments.
When sizing this adjustable family, compare both directions: this 20 mm bore yields 157 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the MFCJ25 provides 245.3 N. Choose the 20 mm bore for lighter, high-speed changeovers where exact end-position tuning and shock absorption are critical. The external adjuster only shortens the extend stroke; it does not lock the piston mid-travel.
For position holding on air loss, fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve, as the piston will drift. Mount via LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion (no SDB or back-cover here), and leverage the -S magnet for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensor integration.
Quick checklist
This 20 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/8" port and delivers 157 N push / 131.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 219.8 N push / 184.7 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external adjuster shortens the extend stroke by up to 30 mm (usable 95-125 mm), while the variable air cushion at both ends decelerates the piston near stroke end. It does not lock or hold the load on air loss; use an external rod lock for that. The -S suffix enables CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors.
