The AirTAC Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ20X75-40 is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 75mm 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 both travel and end-of-stroke shock on site with this double-acting, adjustable-stroke mini cylinder. An external adjuster lets you shorten the extend stroke by up to 40 mm (usable range 35-75 mm), while a needle variable air cushion at both ends soaks up high-speed impact for smooth deceleration. Built as a JIS-standard round-body unit with a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers, it delivers a push force of 157 N at 0.5 MPa via a 1/8" port.
The compact riveted body is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same bore and stroke, saving valuable mounting length in tight machinery. With a safe working load around 94 N (roughly 60% of the 0.5 MPa push figure), it lifts about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note this SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.

| 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.
Dial in the exact 35-75 mm extend distance for delicate insertions. The variable air cushion absorbs the 157 N push impact, protecting small parts during high-speed actuation.
Adjust the stopper arm length on the fly for mixed product sizes. The needle cushion ensures quiet, shock-free stops even when cycling at speeds up to 800 mm/s.
Perfect for experimental rigs needing iterative stroke adjustments. The SUS304 stainless barrel resists mild washdown corrosion, and the 40 mm window allows rapid setup changes.
Weigh the MFCJ20 against the MFCJ25 by force: the 20 mm bore pushes 157 N at 0.5 MPa, while the 25 mm bore pushes 245.3 N. Choose this 20 mm bore for lighter, high-speed changeovers where exact positioning and end-shock tuning matter. The 40 mm adjustable window is ideal for trial fits where you need to dial in the extend end precisely.
Remember the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of travel—it is not a lock or brake. If the load must be held on air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, and TC trunnion (no SDB or back-cover here). Because this exact SKU has no -S magnet, position sensing is unavailable unless you specify the -S variant.
Quick checklist
This 20 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" port and an Ø8 mm rod. It generates a push force of 157 N and pull of 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa, and a push of 219.8 N / pull of 184.7 N at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
This specific SKU does not have the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The external adjuster shortens the extend stroke by up to 40 mm (usable range 35-75 mm), and the variable air cushion at both ends decelerates the piston near stroke end to reduce shock.
