The AirTAC Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ20X60-20S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 60mm 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 and absorb high-speed shock with the AirTAC MFCJ20X60-20S. This double-acting JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder pairs a 20 mm on-site stroke adjuster with needle-set variable air cushions at both ends, letting you fine-tune the extend travel from 40 to 60 mm while keeping the full retract. Its SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers form a compact body that is physically shorter than a comparable ISO 6432 unit, saving valuable mounting length without claiming standard compliance.
Driven by a 20 mm bore and a 1/8" port, it delivers 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it a solid fit for lighter automation. The integrated -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for position sensing. Based on the 0.5 MPa thrust, you can expect a safe working load around 94 N, lifting roughly 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note that the cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end—it is not a lock, so add an external rod lock if you need to hold a load on air loss.

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 20 mm adjuster to micro-tune the extend position during short-stroke assembly trials, relying on the 157 N push force to seat delicate components without overshooting.
Leverage the variable air cushions to silently stop the piston at high cycle speeds, gently pushing lightweight goods off a belt within the 40-60 mm travel window.
Adjust the extend end on-site to match varying box sizes, using the 94 N safe working load to tuck flaps smoothly before the retract stroke begins.
When sizing this series, compare the thrust directly: this 20 mm bore provides 157 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to an MFCJ25 yields 245.3 N. Choose the 20 mm bore for compact, lower-force tasks and use the 25 mm if your payload demands more push. The adjustable stroke and dual air cushions shine in high-speed changeovers or shock-sensitive trial fits where you must tune both the extend length and the end-of-stroke deceleration on the fly.
For mounting, select from LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion options (there is no SDB or back-cover code on this adjustable build). The included -S magnet means the cylinder is ready for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors out of the box. Remember that the external adjuster only shortens the extend stroke; it does not act as a mid-stroke brake.
Quick checklist
This 20 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. 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.
The external adjuster shortens the extend stroke by up to 20 mm (usable range 40-60 mm), while the variable air cushions at both ends decelerate the piston at high speeds. The cushion is not a brake or lock; the piston will drift on air loss, so use an external rod lock for load holding. The built-in -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors.
