The AirTAC Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ20X225-75S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 225mm 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 exact end positions on-site with the MFCJ20X225-75S, a JIS-standard round-body stainless mini cylinder offering a 75 mm adjustable extend window (usable range 150-225 mm). Built with a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers, this double-acting actuator is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same bore and stroke, saving valuable mounting length while resisting mild washdown.
Driven by a 1/8" port and Ø8 mm rod, it delivers 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The integrated variable air cushion at both ends soaks up high-speed shock for smooth deceleration. With a safe working load around 94 N, it lifts about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The built-in -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for position sensing.

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.
Use the 75 mm extend adjuster to dial in exact contact points on delicate 8 kg assemblies, relying on the variable air cushion to prevent impact damage during high-speed changeovers.
Fit the shorter-than-ISO-6432 body into tight transfer stations, adjusting the stroke on-site to accommodate different package widths without swapping cylinders.
Leverage the 157 N push force and needle-set cushion for smooth, repeatable testing of light components, using the -S magnet to trigger CMSG sensors at variable end points.
When sizing this series, compare the bores directly: this 20 mm bore provides 157 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to an MFCJ25 yields 245.3 N. Choose the 20 mm when space is tight and the load is light. The 75 mm adjustable stroke window is ideal for high-speed changeovers or trial fits where the exact extend position and end-of-stroke shock both need fine-tuning via the needle cushion. Foot (LB), flange (FA) and trunnion (TC) mounts are available, but note there is no SDB mount or back cover on this adjustable build.
Remember that the air cushion and external adjuster only decelerate the piston and set the end position—they do not lock the load. If air pressure drops, the piston will drift. For suspended or vertical loads that must hold position on air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. The -S magnet on this unit enables CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors for precise feedback.
Quick checklist
This 20 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" port and an Ø8 mm rod. 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 of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa.
The external adjuster shortens the extend stroke by up to 75 mm (usable range 150-225 mm), while the variable air cushion at both ends uses a needle valve to absorb high-speed shock. The cushion only decelerates the piston; it does not lock or hold the load on air loss. The -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors for position feedback.
