The AirTAC Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ20X200-40S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 200mm 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 MFCJ20X200-40S, a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder that lets you shorten the extend end by up to 40 mm (usable 160-200 mm) while retract stays full. The SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers form a compact body that is physically shorter than an ISO 6432 unit for the same 20 mm bore and 200 mm stroke, saving mounting length and resisting mild washdown.
Driven by filtered air at 0.15-1.0 MPa through a 1/8" port, the Ø8 mm rod delivers 157 N push and 131.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa (219.8 N / 184.7 N at 0.7 MPa). Needle-set variable air cushions at both ends soak up high-speed shock for smooth 30-800 mm/s motion. With a safe working load around 94 N, it lifts about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The -S suffix means a built-in magnet supports CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches.

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 160-200 mm extend position on a 94 N assembly toolhead, letting the needle cushion absorb end-of-stroke shock during rapid changeovers.
Actuate a lightweight divert gate at up to 800 mm/s; the 40 mm adjuster window fine-tunes the push distance without remounting the cylinder.
Arrest small cartons smoothly using the variable air cushion, relying on the 157 N push force to halt items without slamming.
Weigh the MFCJ20X200-40S against the next bore up: this 20 mm bore gives 157 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 25 mm bore yields 245.3 N. Choose the 20 mm when your payload is light (around 94 N safe load) and you need a physically smaller footprint. Both bores share the 1/8" port and 30-800 mm/s speed range.
Pick this adjustable-stroke, variable-cushion build for high-speed changeovers or shock-sensitive trial fits where you must dial in the exact 160-200 mm extend position and decelerate smoothly. Mount via LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion (no SDB). The cushion only decelerates near stroke end—it is not a lock; for a held load, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
Quick checklist
It has a 1/8" port and Ø8 mm rod. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 157 N and pulls 131.9 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 219.8 N and pulls 184.7 N. The theoretical max force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The external adjuster shortens the extend stroke by up to 40 mm on-site (usable 160-200 mm); retract remains full. The -S suffix means a built-in magnet supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches. The needle air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end—it is not a lock.
