Airtac MKJ Adjustable Cylinder MKJ25X50-50
The AirTAC Airtac MKJ Adjustable Cylinder MKJ25X50-50 is a genuine MK multi-mount cylinder (adjustable stroke), 25 mm bore. Its compact square body fixes from six directions and mounts side by side to save space. It delivers about 245.4 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. A bumper cushions the impact. As an MK unit a fixed rod stops the piston rod rotating.

About the Airtac MKJ Adjustable Cylinder MKJ25X50-50
The AirTAC MKJ series is a compact square-body multi-mount cylinder that can be fixed from 6 directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and mounted side by side to save panel space. This MKJ25X50-50 is a no-rotating, double-acting unit with a 25 mm bore, a 50 mm stroke and an extra 50 mm adjustable range, so the rod never turns under load and the stroke can be trimmed to the fixture. At 0.5 MPa the 25 mm bore delivers about 245.4 N of theoretical push thrust, and the cushion is a bumper, not an air cushion.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. In the code, MK marks the no-rotating family (a fixed rod, plate and brass bushing stop the rod turning), J marks adjustable stroke, and this SKU carries no magnet - only the trailing S version includes one. Magnetic-switch slots run around the body and the high guide precision means no added lubricant. Typical materials are an aluminium-alloy body, covers and piston, a stainless or S45C rod and NBR seals, with bore-specific details confirmed from the datasheet; we can confirm dimensions and sizing on request.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MD/MK multi-mount data. The front cover and piston are short, so avoid an over-long stroke. An optional high-temperature seal material extends the range to 0 to 150 C. Overall dimensions vary per stroke and allowable side-load is published as curves — ask us and we confirm from the datasheet.
How to choose
Choose the bore for thrust: at 0.5 MPa a 25 mm bore gives about 245.4 N of push, with the pull side lower. MKJ is the adjustable-stroke member of the no-rotating MK family; pick plain MK if rotation is acceptable, MKD for a double rod, or an MD-family variant when no-rotating is not needed. This 50 mm stroke sits within the 60 mm limit for a 25 mm double-acting bore, and the code adds a 50 mm adjustable range on top. Order the S suffix for a magnet, and PT (default) or G thread. Do not pair an over-long stroke with a short cover; if side loads are present, confirm allowable values with us from the datasheet.
Applications
Orientation-critical pick and place
Mount the cylinder under a small gripper plate; the no-rotating rod keeps the part orientation fixed stroke after stroke, and 6-direction fixing tucks the square body into a tight gripper arm.
Assembly jig pin positioning
Bolt MKJ units side by side along a fixture to extend locating pins; the adjustable range lets you fine-trim the stop position without shims, and the side-by-side mounting keeps the fixture short.
Conveyor stopper blade lift
Fix the cylinder top-down through the frame to raise and lower a stop blade; the non-turning rod keeps the blade level, and the bumper cushions each part as it arrives.
FAQ
What does the -50 at the end of MKJ25X50-50 mean?
It is the adjustable range. MKJ decodes as MK (no-rotating family) plus J (adjustable stroke): 25 mm bore, 50 mm stroke and a 50 mm adjustable range, so the effective stroke can be set within that window. The trailing S version adds a magnet; this SKU has none. Operating pressure for this bore is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
How many ways can I mount an MKJ cylinder?
Six - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - and units can be mounted side by side to save space. Do not fit an over-long stroke to a short cover; overall dimensions change with stroke, so confirm them from the datasheet, and ask us about allowable side load before applying one.
