The AirTAC Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ25X250-20 is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 250mm 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 extend stops and absorb high-speed shock with the AirTAC MFCJ25X250-20, a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder. The external adjuster shortens the extend stroke by up to 20 mm (usable range 230-250 mm), while needle air cushions at both ends soak up end-of-stroke impact. Built with a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers, it is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same bore and stroke, resisting mild corrosion and washdown.
This 25 mm bore, double-acting actuator uses a 1/8" port and a Ø10 mm rod with an M10x1.25 male thread. It delivers 245.3 N push force at 0.5 MPa, yielding a safe working load of about 147 N. It lifts roughly 12.5 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) | 50 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.
Fine-tune the extend position up to 20 mm during machine changeovers to accommodate different part lengths without remachining hard stops.
Use the variable air cushion to decelerate the 245.3 N extend force smoothly at high cycling speeds, preventing end-cap impact on sorting lines.
Adjust the extend stroke on-site to push cartons of varying widths, ensuring gentle contact without repositioning the entire cylinder assembly.
Choose between the available bores based on your force needs: the MFCJ20 provides 157 N push at 0.5 MPa, this MFCJ25 hits 245.3 N, and the MFCJ32 outputs 402.2 N. Pick the MFCJ25 when you need moderate force plus on-site stroke tuning for changeovers. The 20 mm adjustable window lets you trial-fit parts without machining new stops, and the variable air cushion handles speeds up to 800 mm/s.
Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, and TC trunnion (no SDB or back-cover). Because this non-S SKU cannot take a sensor, add the -S variant if you need position detection. The cylinder does not hold load on air loss—the piston drifts—so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve for suspended loads.
Quick checklist
This 25 mm bore cylinder has a 1/8" port. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 245.3 N and pulls 206.1 N. 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.
The external adjuster shortens the extend stroke by up to 20 mm (usable range 230-250 mm); retract remains full. The needle air cushions only decelerate near the ends—they are not brakes. This specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors; choose the -S version for sensing.
