The AirTAC Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ40X125-50 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.
Tune both travel and end-of-stroke shock on site with this double-acting, adjustable-stroke mini cylinder. A 50 mm external adjuster shortens the extend stroke from a 125 mm nominal maximum, while needle variable air cushions at both ends absorb high-speed impact.
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 envelope. The 40 mm bore uses a 1/4" port and M14x1.5 male rod thread, pushing 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa. This yields a safe working load around 377 N, lifting about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MF/MFC (JIS-standard) datasheet. Barrel: SUS304 stainless steel; covers: aluminum alloy (round-body, riveted rolling-packed construction). Thread options: PT (blank) / G / NPT.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 628 N | 528 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | 739 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

| 40 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×125 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. |
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 50 mm stroke window to set exact pusher extension, letting the variable air cushion absorb shock during rapid package diverting at up to 800 mm/s.
Leverage the 628.3 N push force to seat components, adjusting the extend end precisely to avoid over-travel while the cushion softens the impact.
Halt heavy pallets smoothly using the needle cushion, tweaking the stop position on the fly to handle varying load sizes without changing hardware.
Choose MFCJ40 over MFCJ32 when you need heavy push force: the 40 mm bore delivers 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa versus 402.2 N for the 32 mm. The 50 mm adjustable window is ideal for high-speed changeovers where the exact extend position and deceleration must be dialed in during trial fits.
Mount via LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion (no SDB). Because this is a non-magnet SKU, position sensing is unavailable. Remember the air cushion only decelerates near stroke end; it is not a lock. Use an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold loads on air loss.
Quick checklist
The 40 mm bore has a 1/4" port. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 628.3 N and pulls 527.8 N. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 879.6 N and pulls 738.9 N. The theoretical maximum force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external adjuster shortens the extend stroke by up to 50 mm on site, while the needle variable air cushion decelerates the piston near stroke end. This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot take CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
