Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ32X160-30
The AirTAC Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ32X160-30 is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 160mm 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.

About the Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ32X160-30
Tune both the extend end position and the end-of-stroke shock on-site with the AirTAC MFCJ32X160-30, a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder built for high-speed changeovers. The external adjuster shortens the extend stroke by up to 30 mm (usable range 130-160 mm), while the needle variable air cushion at both ends soaks up kinetic energy. Its SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdowns, and the body is shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder of the same bore and stroke, saving valuable mounting length.
This double-acting 32 mm bore unit delivers 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, yielding a safe working load of about 241 N or a 2:1 vertical lift capacity of roughly 20.5 kg. It uses a 1/4" port and a 12 mm rod with an M10x1.25 male thread. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The cushion only decelerates the piston near the ends; it does not lock or hold the load.

Where the Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ32X160-30 Is Used
Press Fit Tuning
Dial in the exact 130-160 mm extend distance for light-duty press fits and adjust the needle air cushion to prevent bounce when cycling at high speed.
Transfer Diverter
Sort packages on a conveyor by setting the extend stop precisely, using the 402.2 N push force to push items smoothly without end-of-stroke slamming.
Pallet Stopper
Halt pallets at a variable staging point; the 30 mm stroke adjuster lets you reposition the stop on the fly without machining new hard stops.
Is the Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ32X160-30 the Right Cylinder?
Choose the MFCJ32 over the larger MFCJ40 when 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa is sufficient, as the 40 mm bore raises that to 628.3 N but requires more space. Conversely, if a smaller MFCJ25 providing 245.3 N is enough, that saves even more room. The MFCJ32X160-30 shines in shock-sensitive trial fits where you need to dial in a 130-160 mm extend stroke and fine-tune the needle cushion for 30-800 mm/s speeds.
Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, and TC trunnion (there is no SDB or back-cover option on this adjustable build). Remember that a plain double-acting cylinder drifts on air loss; for a suspended load, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve. If you need position sensing, select the -S magnet variant to enable CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G / NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check Use correct back cover (CA/U/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ32X160-30 FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder has a 1/4" port and a 12 mm rod. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.2 N and pulls 345.6 N. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 563 N and pulls 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not have the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The external adjuster shortens the extend stroke by up to 30 mm, and the variable air cushion decelerates the piston at the ends, but neither feature acts as a mid-stroke lock.
