The AirTAC Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ40X125-30S 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.
Trimming the extend end by up to 30 mm on-site, this double-acting JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder lets you dial in a 95-125 mm stroke while a needle variable air cushion at both ends soaks up high-speed shock. The SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers yield a shorter mounting envelope than an ISO 6432 unit, resisting mild washdown.
In the 40 mm bore class, this unit delivers 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa through a 1/4" port, peaking at a theoretical 128.1 kgf. The built-in -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors for position confirmation. For sizing, it safely moves a 377 N load or lifts about 32 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 95-125 mm extend precisely during tooling changeovers, relying on the variable air cushion to absorb the 879.6 N impact force at 0.7 MPa operating pressure.
Adjust the stroke by up to 30 mm on-site to accommodate varying box sizes, using the 1/4" port air pressure to push packages smoothly without end-of-stroke slamming.
Lift or stop loads up to 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin, confirming position via the -S magnet and CMSG switches while the cushion ensures quiet deceleration.
When choosing between the two bores, the MFCJ40 provides 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa versus the MFCJ32 at 402.2 N—pick the 40 mm bore if your changeover demands pushing heavier fixtures. The 30 mm adjustable window is perfect for trial fits where the exact extend position is unknown, while the dual variable air cushions handle the 30-800 mm/s speed range smoothly.
Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, and TC trunnion (no SDB). Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end; it does not act as a brake. If air pressure drops, the load will drift—install an external rod lock or pilot check valve for position holding.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4" port and a 16 mm rod. It generates 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 879.6 N push and 738.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The external adjuster shortens the extend stroke by up to 30 mm (usable range 95-125 mm), while the needle variable air cushion at both ends decelerates the piston near stroke end. The -S magnet allows CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors to be installed, but the cushion does not lock or hold the load on air loss.
