Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ20X160-30S
The AirTAC Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ20X160-30S 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 MFCJ20X160-30S
Dial in exact end positions and absorb high-speed shock with the AirTAC MFCJ20X160-30S. This JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder features a 30 mm external adjuster that shortens the extend stroke on-site (usable range 130-160 mm), paired with a needle variable air cushion at both ends for smooth deceleration.
Built with a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers, the body is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same bore and stroke, saving valuable mounting length. The 20 mm bore delivers 157 N push at 0.5 MPa via a 1/8" port, yielding a safe working load around 94 N. The -S suffix means a built-in magnet enables CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors.

Where the Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ20X160-30S Is Used
Adjustable Tooling Stops
Fine-tune the 130-160 mm extend position on trial fixtures without machining new spacers, using the 30 mm window to dial in the exact 94 N working contact point.
High-Speed Diverter Arms
Rely on the variable air cushion to silently soak up end-of-stroke shock when rapidly routing light packages, preventing impact damage over long cycle runs.
Lab Automation Probes
Leverage the SUS304 stainless barrel for mild washdown resistance while adjusting the extend length on the fly to test different sample depths without changing cylinders.
Is the Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ20X160-30S the Right Cylinder?
Choose between the 20 mm and 25 mm bores based on your force needs: this MFCJ20 provides 157 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger MFCJ25 offers 245.3 N. The adjustable stroke and variable air cushion are perfect for high-speed changeovers or shock-sensitive trial fits where you must tune both the end position and the deceleration rate.
Note that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end; it does not lock or hold the load. If air loss occurs, the piston drifts, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve for suspended loads. Mount via LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion (no SDB), and use the -S magnet for position sensing.
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 MFCJ20X160-30S FAQ
This 20 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" port and an Ø8 mm rod. It generates 157 N push / 131.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 219.8 N push / 184.7 N pull at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical max of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
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. The -S suffix provides a magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors.
