The AirTAC Airtac MKJ Adjustable Cylinder MKJ32X50-20S 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.
The MKJ32X50-20S is an adjustable-stroke, no-rotating multi-mount cylinder with a 32 mm bore and 50 mm base stroke, supplied with a magnet as shown by the S suffix. The compact square body fixes from six directions (front, back, left, right, top and bottom) and mounts side by side to save space, with magnetic-switch slots around the body and high guide precision. As a double-acting cylinder it delivers a theoretical push force of 402.1 N at 0.5 MPa (345.6 N on the pull side), runs on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), and cushions with a bumper. The 20 mm adjustable range on top of the 50 mm stroke lets you trim the end position in service.
This is a genuine AirTAC part from the MK family, where a fixed rod, plate and brass bushing stop the piston rod from turning - unlike the standard MD family, where rod rotation is allowed. The magnet in this SKU supports position detection in the body's switch slots. Typical materials include an aluminium-alloy body, piston and covers with a stainless or S45C rod and NBR seals, but bore-specific detail should be confirmed from the datasheet. We confirm dimensions and sizing from the 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.
The 32 mm bore gives the highest thrust in this series - 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa double acting - so select it where firm clamping or pressing force is needed. Choose MKJ over MD when the rod must not rotate; choose MD when rotation is acceptable. This is a double-acting unit with the magnet (S) fitted, so reed or solid-state switches can be slid into the body's slots for end-position signalling. The 50 mm base stroke sits within the bore 32 table (up to 60 mm), and the adjustable-stroke design adds a 20 mm range on top of it. Keep strokes modest: the covers are compact, so avoid specifying an over-long stroke, and confirm side-load capacity with us. The listed thread is PT; a G thread version is available.
Fixed from the top of a welding or assembly jig, the non-rotating rod positions a locating block precisely, and switch slots signal retracted and extended to the PLC before the cycle continues.
Bolted side by side along a fixture rail, several MKJ units clamp aluminium blanks for a secondary operation, with the adjustable range set so each clamp lands on the part edge.
Mounted under an indexing dial, the cylinder drives a locking pin into each indexed position, and the magnet confirms full engagement before the machine releases the index.
The S suffix means the cylinder is supplied with a magnet, allowing position switches to be sensed in the slots around the body for end-of-stroke signalling. The rest of the specification is unchanged: 32 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, a 20 mm adjustable range, double-acting operation and PT ports. A G thread version is also available.
Yes. The multi-mount body fixes from six directions - front, back, left, right, top and bottom - so units can sit side by side to save space in dense fixtures. Keep in mind the covers are compact, so avoid specifying an over-long stroke, and confirm side-load limits and exact dimensions from the datasheet before finalising a multi-cylinder layout.
