The AirTAC Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ20X80-75S 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.
Trim the extend stroke by up to 75 mm on site with the MFCJ20X80-75S, a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder built for high-speed changeovers. A needle variable air cushion at both ends soaks up end-of-stroke shock, while the SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers resist mild washdown.
Driven by filtered air at 0.15-1.0 MPa through a 1/8" port, this double-acting 20 mm bore generates 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. That translates to a safe working load of about 94 N, lifting roughly 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The -S suffix adds a piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches, and the body is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same stroke.

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 extend stroke within the 75 mm window for delicate test probes, using the variable air cushion to decelerate the 157 N thrust gently before contact.
Adjust the reach on the fly for varying product sizes on a conveyor, relying on the 1/8" port and cushioned stops to keep the 8 kg vertical lift cycle smooth.
Fit the shorter-than-ISO-6432 body into tight machine cells, fine-tuning the extend end and needle cushion to push light sub-assemblies without bounce.
When sizing this adjustable-stroke family, compare the real thrust: this 20 mm bore pushes with 157 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the MFCJ25 yields 245.3 N. Choose the 20 mm bore for lighter, high-speed trial fits where you need to tune both the extend end position and the cushion needle to prevent shock. The adjuster only shortens the extend stroke; it does not lock the piston mid-travel.
Because a plain cylinder drifts on air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must be held. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange and TC trunnion (no SDB or back cover). The built-in -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors for position confirmation.
Quick checklist
This 20 mm bore cylinder has an 1/8" port and a 12 mm rod. It pushes with 157 N and pulls with 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 219.8 N and pulls 184.7 N. The theoretical maximum force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa, and the operational speed ranges from 30-800 mm/s.
The external adjuster shortens the extend stroke by up to 75 mm, giving a usable extend range of 5-80 mm; the retract stroke remains full. The variable air cushion at both ends uses a needle to decelerate the piston near the end of travel, reducing shock. It is not a brake or lock, so the piston will drift if air pressure is lost.
