The AirTAC Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ20X250-20S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 250mm 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.
With a 20mm adjustable window on the extend stroke, this MFCJ20X250-20S lets you fine-tune the end position on-site from 230 to 250mm. The variable air cushion at both ends is needle-set to absorb high-speed shock, making it ideal for changeovers where both stroke length and impact need tuning.
This JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder is shorter than an ISO 6432 unit for the same bore and stroke, saving mounting length. The SUS304 stainless barrel resists mild corrosion and washdown. With the -S magnet, it accepts CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. At 0.5 MPa, it delivers 157N push and 131.9N pull, giving a safe working load of about 94N.

| 0.5 MPa | 157 N | 132 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 220 N | 185 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 32 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

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.
Quickly dial in the exact extend position from 230-250mm during machine setup, without swapping cylinders.
The variable cushion decelerates 157N pushes smoothly, preventing shock and noise in fast sorting mechanisms.
Its shorter JIS body fits tight assembly fixtures, while the adjustable stroke accommodates part variations.
Choose the MFCJ20X250-20S when you need a compact, adjustable-stroke cylinder for light-duty automation. Compare with the MFCJ25, which offers 245.3N push at 0.5 MPa, if you need more force in the same footprint. The adjustable stroke and cushion are ideal for high-speed changeovers or shock-sensitive trial fits.
Remember, this cylinder does not hold position on air loss-the piston drifts. Use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion. The 1/8" port and M8x1.25 rod thread are standard.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, push is 157N and pull is 131.9N. At 0.7 MPa, push is 219.8N and pull is 184.7N. The theoretical maximum force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The external adjuster shortens the extend stroke by up to 20mm, setting the end position between 230-250mm. The -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for position detection.
