Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ40X160-10
The AirTAC Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ40X160-10 is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm 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 MFCJ40X160-10
Tune your extend end-position on-site with the AirTAC MFCJ40X160-10, a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder built for high-speed changeovers. The external adjuster shortens the extend stroke by up to 10 mm (usable range 150-160 mm), while the needle variable air cushion at both ends soaks up end-of-stroke shock. Its SUS304 stainless steel barrel and riveted aluminium covers resist mild corrosion and washdowns, and the body is deliberately shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder of the same bore and stroke to save mounting length.
Delivering 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, this 40 mm bore double-acting actuator handles robust work. The 1/4" port and M14x1.5 male rod thread provide solid connectivity. Because this exact SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. For a safe working load, expect around 377 N, or roughly 32 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ40X160-10 Is Used
High-Speed Diverters
Dial in the 10 mm extend window and tune the variable air cushion to smoothly push 30 kg cartons at 800 mm/s without end-of-stroke slamming.
Tooling Trial Fits
Perfect for prototyping stations where the exact 150-160 mm extend position needs on-site adjustment and the 628.3 N thrust handles stiff assembly inserts.
Case Packers
Absorb high-speed shock during flapping and sealing routines using the needle cushion, leveraging the 527.8 N pull force to retract heavy tooling.
Is the Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ40X160-10 the Right Cylinder?
Choose the MFCJ40 over the MFCJ32 when you need extra muscle: the 40 mm bore delivers 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa compared to 402.2 N for the 32 mm version. This MFCJ40X160-10 is ideal for trial fits and shock-sensitive changeovers where you must dial in the final 10 mm of extension and tune the needle cushion for 30-800 mm/s speeds. Mount it via LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion (there is no SDB or back-cover option here).
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it is not a brake. If air pressure drops, the piston will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for suspended loads. Also, since this specific configuration omits the -S magnet, position sensing is unavailable unless you switch to an -S variant.
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 MFCJ40X160-10 FAQ
This 40 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4" port and an M14x1.5 male rod thread. It operates at 0.15-1.0 MPa (proof pressure 1.5 MPa). The double-acting thrust is 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 max of 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The external adjuster shortens the extend stroke by up to 10 mm on-site (usable range 150-160 mm), while the variable air cushion at both ends decelerates the piston at high speeds. The cushion is not a lock.
