The AirTAC Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ25X250-50 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.
Tune both travel and end-of-stroke shock on-site with this AirTAC adjustable-stroke mini cylinder. The external adjuster shortens the extend stroke by up to 50 mm, giving a usable 200-250 mm extension, while the needle variable air cushion at both ends soaks up high-speed impact. It uses a 1/8" port and a 10 mm rod with an M10x1.25 male thread.
Built as a JIS-standard round-body unit with a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers, the body is physically shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same 25 mm bore and 250 mm stroke, saving valuable mounting length. Generating 245.3 N push force at 0.5 MPa, it handles a safe working load of roughly 147 N. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take position sensors.

| 0.7 MPa | 344 N | 289 N |
| 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.
Dial in the exact 200-250 mm extend position on a new fixture while the variable air cushion protects the workpiece from high-speed impact during repetitive cycling.
Shorten the extend stroke by up to 50 mm on-site to adapt a pusher arm for different carton lengths without machining new hard stops.
Move items safely with a 147 N working load, using the needle cushion to quietly decelerate the 10 mm rod at the end of the 250 mm travel.
Size by force: the 25 mm bore pushes 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa, sitting between the 157 N MFCJ20 and the 402.2 N MFCJ32. Choose this adjustable version when you need to dial in the exact extend position during high-speed changeovers or shock-sensitive trial fits, rather than relying on a fixed stroke. The variable air cushion decelerates the piston near the ends but does not lock the load; for vertical or held loads, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve to prevent drift on air loss. Mount via LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion. Because this specific code has no -S suffix, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG magnetic switches.
Quick checklist
This 25 mm bore cylinder uses 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.
No, this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet option, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. The external adjuster shortens the extend stroke by up to 50 mm, and the variable air cushion decelerates the piston, but neither feature acts as a mid-stroke lock or brake.
