The AirTAC Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ25X100-20 is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 100mm 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.
Trimming the extend stroke by up to 20 mm on site is the core advantage of this double-acting mini cylinder, letting you set an exact 80-100 mm end position without mechanical shims. A needle-variable air cushion at both ends soaks up high-speed end-of-stroke shock for smooth, quiet motion.
Built as a JIS-standard round-body unit with a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers, the body is deliberately shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same 25 mm bore and 100 mm stroke, saving valuable mounting length. It pushes with 245.3 N and pulls with 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa, yielding a safe working load of about 147 N or a 12.5 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The 1/8" air port and M10x1.25 male rod thread simplify integration. Note this SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or 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 packaging changeovers where the 20 mm extend window lets operators fine-tune the 245.3 N push stroke on the fly while the air cushion absorbs rapid cycling shock.
Ideal for inserting delicate electronic components, using the adjustable 80-100 mm stroke to trial-fit depths without crushing parts during high-speed automated assembly.
Suited for conveyor routing gates that need precise extend positioning and the variable cushion to prevent banging when deflecting lightweight goods at 800 mm/s.
When sizing this adjustable family, compare the real thrust: an MFCJ20 delivers 157 N at 0.5 MPa, this MFCJ25 hits 245.3 N, and the larger MFCJ32 provides 402.2 N. Choose the 25 mm bore when your changeover mechanism needs moderate force plus on-site stroke tuning to dial in the exact 80-100 mm extend. The variable air cushion is essential for high-speed trial fits where end-of-stroke shock would otherwise damage the tooling.
Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange and TC trunnion (there is no SDB or back-cover option on this build). Remember the adjuster and cushion only decelerate the piston; they do not lock or hold the load. If gravity or air loss could cause drift, fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve. Because this specific code has no -S magnet, position sensing is not possible here.
Quick checklist
This 25 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/8" air port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. It generates a push force of 245.3 N and a pull force of 206.1 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 343.4 N and pulls 288.5 N. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features a variable air cushion at both ends and operates at speeds of 30-800 mm/s.
No. The external adjuster only shortens the extend stroke by up to 20 mm (usable range 80-100 mm), and the air cushion merely decelerates the piston near the end caps; neither acts as a brake or lock. For position holding you need an external rod lock or pilot check valve. Additionally, this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors.
