Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ20X160-30
The AirTAC Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ20X160-30 is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 160mm 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.

About the Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ20X160-30
Dial in the extend position on-site with the AirTAC MFCJ20X160-30, a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder featuring a 30 mm adjustable stroke window (usable extend 130-160 mm) and needle-set variable air cushions at both ends. The riveted SUS304 stainless barrel with aluminium covers is purposefully shorter than an ISO 6432 unit of the same bore and stroke, saving valuable machine space while resisting mild washdown.
Driven by filtered air through a 1/8" port, this double-acting 20 mm bore generates 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, yielding a safe working load of roughly 94 N. It lifts about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches.

Where the Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ20X160-30 Is Used
Light-Part Ejection
Tunes the extend stroke by up to 30 mm to dial in the exact ejection point for small plastic parts, using the variable air cushion to prevent bounce at 800 mm/s.
Package Diverting
Adjusts the stroke on-site to match varying box widths on a conveyor line, safely pushing 8 kg cartons with 157 N of force while cushioning the impact.
Lab Automation Fits
Ideal for compact trial-fit jigs where the SUS304 body resists mild corrosion and the 130-160 mm extend window allows rapid changeovers without machining new stops.
Is the Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ20X160-30 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this series, compare the bores directly: this 20 mm bore provides 157 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the MFCJ25 yields 245.3 N. Choose the 20 mm when moving lighter 8 kg payloads at high speed, and use the external adjuster to fine-tune the extend end without swapping cylinders. The variable air cushion is ideal for trial fits where end-of-stroke shock must be absorbed.
Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, and TC trunnion (no SDB or back-cover mount is available on this adjustable build). Because this is a non-magnet SKU, sensing is not supported. Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of travel; it does not act as a brake, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you need to hold a load on air loss.
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 MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ20X160-30 FAQ
This 20 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/8" air port and an Ø8 mm rod with an M8x1.25 male 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.
This specific SKU does not have the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The external adjuster shortens the extend stroke by up to 30 mm (usable range 130-160 mm), while the needle variable air cushion at both ends decelerates the piston near stroke end to absorb high-speed shock.
