Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ32X160-40S
The AirTAC Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ32X160-40S 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 MFCJ32X160-40S
Tune both the extend end-point and the end-of-stroke shock precisely with this double-acting JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder. The external adjuster shortens the extend stroke by up to 40 mm (usable range 120-160 mm), while the needle variable air cushion at both ends soaks up high-speed impact. It features a SUS304 stainless barrel with riveted aluminium covers, offering a shorter mounting length than an ISO 6432 cylinder of the same bore and stroke.
Fitted with a 1/4" port, a Ø12 mm rod and an -S piston magnet for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches, it delivers 402.2 N push force at 0.5 MPa. This yields a safe working load of roughly 241 N, meaning it lifts about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The cushion only decelerates the piston near the end caps; it is not a brake.

Where the Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ32X160-40S Is Used
High-Speed Diverters
Dial in the 40 mm extend window to strike packages accurately, relying on the variable air cushion to halt the 402.2 N thrust smoothly without slamming.
Trial-Fit Assembly
Perfect for prototyping stations where the 120-160 mm extend position requires iterative tuning during changeovers to seat components gently.
Vertical Lift Stops
Lifts about 20.5 kg safely with a 2:1 margin; the needle cushion decelerates the load at the top end, though a separate pilot check valve is required to hold it.
Is the Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ32X160-40S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this adjustable-stroke family, compare both real bores: the MFCJ32 delivers 402.2 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas the larger MFCJ40 provides 628.3 N. Choose the 32 mm bore for lighter, high-speed changeovers where the exact extend position and shock absorption both need on-site tuning. If your application needs less force, the smaller MFCJ25 offers 245.3 N.
This -S variant supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors for position confirmation. Mount via LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion (no SDB or back-cover option exists). Because the air cushion and adjuster only decelerate and set the end position, you must add an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a load securely on air loss.
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 MFCJ32X160-40S FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder has a 1/4" port and a Ø12 mm rod. 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 maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The external adjuster shortens the extend stroke by up to 40 mm (usable 120-160 mm), and the variable air cushion at both ends decelerates the piston at high speed. The -S magnet enables CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. It does not hold position on air loss; use an external rod lock for that.
