The AirTAC Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ32X125-40S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 125mm 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.
Tune both the extend reach and the end-of-stroke shock on site with this double-acting, adjustable-stroke mini cylinder. The external adjuster shortens the extend end by up to 40 mm (usable 85-125 mm), while the needle variable air cushion at both ends soaks up high-speed impact. A 1/4" port and Ø12 mm rod handle a 402.2 N push at 0.5 MPa.
Built as a JIS-standard round-body unit with a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers, it is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same bore and stroke. The -S suffix adds a piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. For a safe working load, expect around 241 N, lifting about 20.5 kg vertically 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 85-125 mm extend position during format changeovers while the needle cushion absorbs the high-speed stop.
Test extend endpoints on fragile assemblies without re machining hard stops, relying on the cushion to soften the impact.
Lift approximately 20.5 kg jigs vertically using the 0.5 MPa push force, adjusting the stroke down 40 mm as needed.
Weighing MFCJ32 against MFCJ40 comes down to force needs: this 32 mm bore gives 402.2 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 40 mm bore delivers 628.3 N. If your changeover demands less than 245.3 N, a smaller 25 mm bore would suffice, but the 32 mm hits a sweet spot for moderate loads. The 40 mm adjustable window is ideal for trial fits where the exact extend position and deceleration ramp both need tuning. Mount via LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion (no SDB). Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston; it does not lock the load. To hold position on air loss, fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/4" port and a Ø12 mm rod with an M10x1.25 male thread. It generates 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical max of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The external adjuster shortens the extend stroke by up to 40 mm on site; retract remains full. The -S suffix means a magnet is built in for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The variable air cushion only decelerates near stroke end and does not hold the load.
