The AirTAC Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ40X150-30S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 150mm 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 the extend end-point and the end-of-stroke deceleration on-site with this 40 mm bore adjustable-stroke mini cylinder. The external adjuster shortens the forward stroke by up to 30 mm (usable range 120-150 mm), while the needle-set variable air cushion at both ends absorbs high-speed shock for smooth, quiet motion. A built-in magnet (-S) enables CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position sensing.
Built as a JIS-standard round-body unit with a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers, it packs a strong 628.3 N push force at 0.5 MPa into a body that is shorter than a comparable ISO 6432 cylinder. The 1/4" port and M14x1.5 male rod thread handle robust loads, delivering a safe working capacity of roughly 377 N or a 32 kg vertical lift 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 30 mm extend window and tune the needle air cushion to softly push 30 kg cartons on a conveyor without harsh end-of-stroke slamming.
Adapt the forward stroke on the fly for different part sizes on a machining line, relying on the 628.3 N push force to shift heavy fixtures smoothly.
Fine-tune the extend length and cushioning during format changes to precisely feed packaging materials at high speed without damaging the web.
Choose the MFCJ40 over the MFCJ32 when you need extra thrust: the 40 mm bore pushes 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa, compared to 402.2 N for the 32 mm bore. This adjustable-stroke, variable-cushion design is ideal for high-speed changeovers or shock-sensitive trial fits where you must dial in both the exact extend length and the deceleration rate. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, and TC trunnion (no SDB).
Remember that the air cushion and adjuster only decelerate the piston and set the end position; they do not function as a brake. If your application must hold a load vertically during air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. The -S magnet on this SKU supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for exact positioning feedback.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4" port and an M14x1.5 male rod thread. 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 on-site, giving a usable forward range of 120-150 mm, while the retract stroke remains full. The variable air cushion at both ends decelerates the piston near the end of travel to absorb high-speed shock. Note that this cushion only slows the piston; it does not lock or hold the load.
