The AirTAC Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ32X60-20S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 60mm stroke, 1/4" 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 20 mm on-site with the AirTAC MFCJ32X60-20S, giving a usable 40-60 mm forward travel while retract remains full. This double-acting mini cylinder pairs that external adjuster with a variable needle air cushion at both ends to soak up high-speed end-of-stroke shock.
Built to JIS dimensions with a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers, the round body is deliberately shorter than an ISO 6432 unit for the same 32 mm bore and 60 mm stroke, saving valuable mounting length. The 1/4" port and Ø12 mm rod (M10x1.25 male thread) deliver 402.2 N push at 0.5 MPa. Because this SKU carries the -S suffix, a built-in piston magnet is ready for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position switches. Expect a safe working load around 241 N, or vertical lifts of about 20.5 kg with a 2:1 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 40-60 mm extend distance for seating delicate electronic connectors, relying on the needle air cushion to prevent impact damage at fast cycle speeds.
Fine-tune the stroke length on-site to accommodate varying package sizes on a packing line without swapping the cylinder, using the 241 N safe working load to push lightweight cartons.
Lift items up to 20.5 kg in pick-and-place tasks; the JIS-standard round body saves vertical mounting space compared to longer ISO 6432 alternatives.
Weigh the MFCJ32 against the MFCJ40 by force: the 32 mm bore pushes 402.2 N at 0.5 MPa, whereas the 40 mm bore hits 628.3 N. If your changeover demands less than 245.3 N, a smaller MFCJ25 would suffice, but the 32 mm bore here gives a solid buffer for trial fits where the exact extend position and end-of-stroke deceleration both need tuning. The variable air cushion is ideal for 30-800 mm/s cycles, but remember it only decelerates the piston—it is not a brake.
For mounting, choose LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion brackets (the adjustable-stroke build has no SDB option or back-cover code). The integrated -S magnet means you can directly fit CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors without modifying the cylinder. If the machinery must hold a load vertically during an air loss event, do not rely on the cushion; add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to prevent drift.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4" air port and a 12 mm rod with an M10x1.25 male thread. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.2 N and pulls 345.6 N. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 563 N and pulls 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The external adjuster shortens the extend stroke by up to 20 mm (usable range 40-60 mm), while the variable air cushion at both ends decelerates the piston near the end of travel. The cushion is not a lock or brake, so the piston will drift on air loss. The -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors.
