The AirTAC Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ20X175-75S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 175mm 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 extend end exactly where you need it with the AirTAC MFCJ20X175-75S, a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder featuring a 75 mm adjustable stroke window and needle-set variable air cushions at both ends. The external adjuster shortens the extend stroke on-site (usable range 100-175 mm), while the dual cushions soak up high-speed end-of-stroke shock for smooth, quiet motion. Built with a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers, this double-acting actuator resists mild corrosion and washdown while delivering 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa.
Because it uses a riveted rolling-packed construction, the overall body is noticeably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same 20 mm bore and 175 mm stroke, saving valuable mounting length. The 1/8" air port and M8x1.25 male rod thread simplify integration, and the built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and electronic switches. Factoring a 2:1 safety margin, this unit safely lifts about 8 kg vertically, giving you a reliable, compact solution for changeovers and trial fits.

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.
Fine-tune the extend stroke by up to 75 mm during machine changeovers to set precise tooling endpoints without machining new spacers.
Handles lightweight package diversion with 157 N of push force, using the variable air cushion to silently absorb high-speed impacts.
Perfect for prototyping cells where the exact 100-175 mm extend position and end-of-stroke shock need iterative tuning on-site.
When sizing this actuator, compare the real thrust figures: this 20 mm bore generates 157 N push and 131.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the MFCJ25 yields 245.3 N push at the same pressure. Choose the 20 mm bore for lighter, high-speed tasks where precise positioning and shock absorption matter more than raw power. The adjustable stroke and variable air cushion combination is ideal for trial fits or changeovers where both the exact end position and end-of-stroke deceleration need tuning on the fly.
Keep in mind that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of its travel—it is not a lock or brake. If your application must hold a load vertically on air loss or when the valve is centered, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve, as the piston will drift. For mounting, utilize the LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets (SDB and back-cover mounts are unavailable on this adjustable build), and leverage the -S magnet for position sensing.
Quick checklist
This 20 mm bore double-acting cylinder features a 1/8" air port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. It delivers 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 max force of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 175 mm base stroke is adjustable down to 100 mm via the 75 mm external window.
Yes, the -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. However, the variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end and does not act as a lock or brake; the cylinder will drift on air loss. For vertical load holding, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
