The AirTAC Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ25X225-30 is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 225mm 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 your extend position on the floor with the AirTAC MFCJ25X225-30, a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder built from SUS304 stainless steel and riveted aluminium covers. An external adjuster lets you shorten the extend stroke by up to 30 mm (usable range 195-225 mm), while needle-set variable air cushions at both ends soak up high-speed end-of-stroke shock. This double-acting actuator uses a 1/8" port and a Ø10 mm rod, delivering 245.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa.
Because the riveted MF body is physically shorter than a comparable ISO 6432 unit for the same 25 mm bore and 225 mm stroke, it saves valuable mounting length without sacrificing the 50 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. The SUS304 barrel shrugs off mild washdown environments. Note that this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches. The cushions only decelerate the piston near the ends; they do not lock or hold the load.

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.
Tune the 30 mm extend window and needle air cushion to softly push 12.5 kg cartons off a high-speed belt without slamming at the end of the 225 mm stroke.
Adjust the extend end position on the fly during product changeovers, using the 245.3 N push force to trial-fit parts while the variable cushion absorbs the high-speed impact.
Raise and lower light 10 kg access gates using the full 225 mm stroke, relying on the adjustable cushion to prevent bounce at the top extend position.
When sizing this adjustable-cushion family, compare the real 0.5 MPa push figures: the smaller MFCJ20 yields 157 N, this MFCJ25 hits 245.3 N, and the larger MFCJ32 jumps to 402.2 N. This 25 mm bore is ideal when you need a safe working load of roughly 147 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa push figure) or want to lift about 12.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Choose the MFCJ specifically for high-speed changeovers where both the exact end position and the deceleration ramp need field tuning.
Mount this cylinder using LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets (SDB and back-cover mounts are not available on the adjustable build). If your application requires position feedback, select the -S magnet variant to enable CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. Remember that a standard cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; for suspended loads, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve, as the air cushion is strictly a deceleration device and never a brake.
Quick checklist
This 25 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" port and a Ø10 mm rod. At 0.5 MPa it provides 245.3 N push and 206.1 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa it provides 343.4 N push and 288.5 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
This specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches; you must order the -S variant for sensing. The external adjuster shortens the extend stroke by up to 30 mm (usable range 195-225 mm), and the variable air cushions at both ends decelerate the piston near the ends but do not lock or hold the load.
