The AirTAC Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ20X80-10S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 80mm 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 this double-acting, JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder. The external adjuster shortens the extend stroke by up to 10 mm on site, while the needle-set variable air cushion at both ends ensures smooth deceleration. Featuring a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers, the riveted rolling-packed construction is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same 20 mm bore and 80 mm stroke, saving valuable mounting length.
Driven by a 1/8" port and an Ø8 mm rod with M8x1.25 male threading, this unit delivers 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The included -S piston magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches. For sizing context, its safe working load is roughly 94 N, meaning it lifts about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 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.
Tunes the extend stroke by up to 10 mm to dial in clamping depth on delicate electronic components, using the 157 N push force without crushing parts.
Leverages the variable air cushion to silently stop the diverting arm at high speeds, preventing impact bounce on small packaging lines.
Ideal for prototype changeovers where the exact 70-80 mm extend position needs on-site tweaking and repeatable high-speed cycling.
When choosing between bores, this 20 mm option provides 157 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas the larger MFCJ25 generates 245.3 N at the same pressure. Select the 20 mm bore for lighter, faster changeovers where precise trial fits and end-of-stroke tuning are critical. The 10 mm adjustable window is ideal for shimming out minor position discrepancies without remounting hardware.
Keep in mind the variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of travel; it does not function as a lock or brake. If your application must hold a load vertically during 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 mount is available on this adjustable build).
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 max force of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa.
The external adjuster shortens the extend stroke by up to 10 mm on site (usable extend 70-80 mm), while the retract stroke remains full. The needle-set variable air cushion at both ends decelerates the piston to absorb high-speed shock, but it is not a brake. The -S suffix means a magnet is built-in for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
