The AirTAC Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ20X60-40 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 impact with the AirTAC MFCJ20X60-40. This double-acting JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder features a 40 mm adjustable extend window (usable 20-60 mm) and variable air cushions at both ends. An external adjuster lets you shorten the extend stroke on-site, while the needle cushions soak up end-of-stroke shock for smooth, quiet operation.
Built with a SUS304 stainless steel barrel and riveted aluminium covers, it resists mild corrosion and washdowns while saving mounting length compared to an ISO 6432 unit. Delivering 157 N push at 0.5 MPa via a 1/8" port, it provides a safe working load around 94 N and lifts about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take position sensors.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MF/MFC (JIS-standard) datasheet. Barrel: SUS304 stainless steel; covers: aluminum alloy (round-body, riveted rolling-packed construction). Thread options: PT (blank) / G / NPT.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 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.

| ×60 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. |
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.
Perfect for changeovers where the exact 20-60 mm extend position must be dialed in on-site without swapping cylinders, absorbing shock at speeds up to 800 mm/s.
Handles light diverting tasks safely with a 94 N working load, using the needle cushion to quietly stop the 8 mm rod at high speed without slamming.
Ideal for pushing thin packaging flaps or cards where a 157 N push force suffices and the 40 mm adjuster window accommodates varying carton depths.
Choose between the MFCJ20 and MFCJ25 based on your force needs. The MFCJ20 provides 157 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger MFCJ25 offers 245.3 N. This 20 mm bore is ideal for lighter high-speed changeovers where you need to tune both the extend stroke within the 40 mm window and the end-of-stroke cushioning.
Mount via LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion (no SDB). Because this specific SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end—it is not a lock. If you need to hold a load vertically on air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
Quick checklist
This 20 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/8" port. 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 of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet (-S), so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for sensing. The 40 mm adjuster sets the extend end position but is not a mid-stroke lock.
