The AirTAC Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ40X125-100 is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm 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.
Dial in your extend stroke on-site with the AirTAC MFCJ40X125-100, a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder featuring a 100 mm adjustment window and a variable air cushion at both ends. The SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers yield a shorter mounting envelope than an ISO 6432 unit, resisting mild washdown while saving space.
Built for double-acting operation, this 40 mm bore model delivers 628.3 N of push force and 527.8 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, peaking at a theoretical 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a 1/4" port and a 16 mm rod with an M14x1.5 male thread. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 377 N, meaning it lifts about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note this SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.

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.
Tune the 100 mm extend window and needle air cushion to smoothly clamp heavy parts at high speed without harsh end impacts.
Lift or push loads up to 32 kg vertically on a packaging line, adjusting the extend stroke on-site to match varying package sizes.
Perfect for lab test rigs where the exact extend position and end-of-stroke deceleration must be dialed in repeatedly during product development.
Choose the MFCJ40 over the MFCJ32 when you need extra muscle: the 40 mm bore pushes 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa compared to 402.2 N for the 32 mm bore. The 100 mm adjustable window is ideal for high-speed changeovers or trial fits where the exact extend position and end-of-stroke shock both require field tuning via the needle cushion. Mount using LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets, as no SDB or back-cover option exists for this adjustable build.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it is not a brake. The cylinder will drift if air pressure drops, so install an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you must hold a load vertically. Because this specific code omits the -S magnet, position sensing is not possible without changing to a magnet-equipped variant.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/4" port and a 16 mm rod. It generates 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 879.6 N push and 738.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external adjuster shortens the extend stroke by up to 100 mm on-site, while the variable air cushion at both ends decelerates the piston for smooth high-speed motion. This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
