The AirTAC Airtac MKJ Adjustable Cylinder MKJ32X60-20 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.
This MKJ32X60-20 is AirTAC's adjustable-stroke, no-rotating multi-mount cylinder in a 32 mm bore: a compact square body that fixes from six directions (front, back, left, right, top and bottom) and mounts side by side so neighboring cylinders share the same pitch and save space. Double acting on filtered air, it produces 402.1 N of theoretical push force at 0.5 MPa within an operating pressure of 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), with cushioning by bumper and a working temperature of -20 to 70 C. The -20 in the code adds a 20 mm adjustment range on top of the 60 mm stroke for setting the end of travel precisely.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. In the MK family a no-rotating plate, brass bushing and fixed rod (typical construction) prevent the rod from turning, which is the key difference from the standard MD family. As coded, this unit has no magnet; magnet versions carry a trailing S if position detection is later needed, and the optional high-temperature seal material extends the range to 0-150 C. We confirm dimensions and detailed 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 is the strongest in the MKJ range, delivering 402.1 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, so choose it when clamp or push force is the deciding factor. Select MK over MD whenever the rod or a mounted plate must stay rotationally fixed. This is a double-acting adjustable model: air powers both directions and the -20 gives a 20 mm adjustment on top of the 60 mm stroke. The SKU without an S carries no magnet; choose the S suffix when a switch slot will be used. The port thread is PT by default with G offered as an option. Keep the stroke within the bore's table - the short covers are not meant for stretched-out strokes - and send side-load questions to us.
Push a sensor housing into a locating nest on an assembly stand. The 402.1 N push force at 0.5 MPa suits light press work, and the non-turning rod keeps the load face flat against the part.
Actuate a release pin or gate latch on an AGV or pallet-cart docking station. The 6-way body fixing fits the tight space beside the guide rail, and the 20 mm adjustment dials in the latch timing.
Position a repeatable end stop behind a pick-and-place slide. Cylinders mount side by side in the machine frame, and the fixed rod keeps the stop plate from rotating out of alignment.
The MKJ keeps the MK family's no-rotating feature - a plate, brass bushing and fixed rod (typical construction) stop the rod turning, unlike the standard MD where rotation is allowed - and adds an adjustable stroke. The -20 here means a 20 mm adjustment range on top of the 60 mm base stroke, so the end of travel can be set without changing the whole cylinder.
Stay within the stroke table for the bore - 60 mm is the listed maximum for the 32 mm bore - because the covers are short and an over-long stroke is not what the design intends. For exact body dimensions at this stroke, and for any side-load figure, confirm from the datasheet; we will supply it on request.
