Airtac MKJ Adjustable Cylinder MKJ32X30-30S
The AirTAC Airtac MKJ Adjustable Cylinder MKJ32X30-30S is a genuine MK multi-mount cylinder (adjustable stroke), 32 mm bore. Its compact square body fixes from six directions and mounts side by side to save space. It delivers about 402.1 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 MKJ32X30-30S
The MKJ32X30-30S is a genuine AirTAC adjustable-stroke multi-mount cylinder with a compact square body fixed from any of 6 directions (front, back, left, right, top and bottom) so units mount side by side to save space. The 32 mm bore with a 30 mm base stroke and 30 mm adjustable range gives about 402.1 N of theoretical push force at 0.5 MPa, and the bumper cushions each end of travel. Magnetic-switch slots around the body accept position switches.
This MK-family model is no-rotating: a fixed rod and plate stop the piston rod from turning, so clamps and tooling keep their orientation. It is double acting and includes the magnet as the SKU shows (trailing S), with PT ports. We confirm dimensions and bore-specific detail from the AirTAC datasheet 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
The 32 mm bore is the strongest in this series, about 402.1 N push (345.6 N pull) at 0.5 MPa, operating at 0.15-1.0 MPa. MK prevents rod rotation where the MD family permits it, and MKJ adds a 10/20/30 mm adjustable range, here 30 mm, on top of the 30 mm base stroke. The trailing S means this SKU includes the magnet; drop the S for a non-magnetic unit. Thread is PT as standard, with G optional. Respect the short-cover stroke limit and confirm side-load figures from the datasheet.
Applications
Pick-and-place gripper actuation
The no-rotating rod keeps the gripper fingers aligned while the 32 mm bore supplies about 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, and the magnet signals part-clamped position.
Lift-and-lower check stations
Fixes from the top of a compact station, lifts small assemblies over a 30 mm adjustable stroke, and the bumper settles each down-cycle quietly.
CNC jig sequencing
Side-by-side mounting puts several cylinders on one jig rail; the adjustable range sets each clamp stroke so parts of different heights are all locked.
FAQ
Why choose MKJ over MD for this application?
MKJ combines two features: the MK no-rotating design, where a fixed rod and plate stop the piston rod from turning so your tooling stays oriented, and an adjustable stroke, here 30 mm on top of the 30 mm base stroke. The 32 mm bore gives about 402.1 N theoretical push at 0.5 MPa within an operating range of 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
How does the magnet work on this cylinder?
The trailing S means this SKU includes the magnet, so magnetic switches fitted into the slots around the body can detect piston position. Note that the cushion is a bumper, keep the stroke short because of the compact cover, and confirm exact dimensions and side-load limits from the datasheet.
