Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ40X160-50
The AirTAC Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ40X160-50 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 MFCJ40X160-50
Dial in the exact extend end-point on-site with the AirTAC MFCJ40X160-50, a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder featuring a 50 mm adjustable stroke window (usable extend 110-160 mm). The SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers yield a shorter mounting envelope than an ISO 6432 unit, resisting mild washdown corrosion while packing a 628.3 N push force at 0.5 MPa.
Driven by a 16 mm rod with a 1/4" port and M14x1.5 male thread, this double-acting actuator pairs its on-site adjuster with a needle variable air cushion at both ends to soak up high-speed shock. It yields a safe working load of roughly 377 N and 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 sensors.

Where the Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ40X160-50 Is Used
High-Speed Component Pressing
Tune the 50 mm extend window to set the exact 110-160 mm contact depth, relying on the variable air cushion to decelerate the 628.3 N push force smoothly at cycle end.
Adjustable Transfer Diverters
Fine-tune the diverting arm reach on-site for mixed product sizes; the needle cushion absorbs the shock of rapid routing reversals without needing a separate bumper.
Palletized Lift Stops
Lift or arrest loads up to 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin, adjusting the stop position precisely while the SUS304 barrel handles mildly humid storage environments.
Is the Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ40X160-50 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing these adjustable-stroke units, compare both bores directly: this MFCJ40 delivers 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, whereas the smaller MFCJ32 provides 402.2 N push. Choose the 40 mm bore when moving heavier fixtures or overcoming high friction during high-speed changeovers. The external adjuster and twin needle cushions are ideal for trial fits where both the stroke length and end-of-stroke shock require precise tuning.
Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, and TC trunnion (with no SDB or back-cover available). Because this specific SKU has no -S magnet, position sensing is impossible without switching to the magnet-equipped variant. Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end—it is not a lock. If the load must be held during air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
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 MFCJ40X160-50 FAQ
This double-acting 40 mm bore cylinder has 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, or 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. It uses a variable air cushion at both ends and operates at 30-800 mm/s.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must select the -S variant for sensing. The 50 mm external adjuster only shortens the extend stroke within the 110-160 mm range; it does not lock the piston mid-stroke.
