The AirTAC Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ40X200-30S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 200mm 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.
Trim the extend stroke by up to 30 mm on site and dial in a needle air cushion at each end to absorb high-speed shock with the AirTAC MFCJ40X200-30S. This JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder features a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers, delivering a robust 628.3 N push force at 0.5 MPa through its 1/4" port.
Because the -S code includes a piston magnet, you can mount CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches for precise end-position sensing. The body is notably shorter than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same 40 mm bore and 200 mm stroke, saving valuable machine space. With a safe working load around 377 N, it 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.
Tune the 30 mm stroke window and needle cushion to softly stop packages moving at 800 mm/s without bounce.
Apply 628.3 N of push force to fold flaps, adjusting the extend end precisely to accommodate varying box heights.
Gently press bearings using the variable air cushion, relying on the -S magnet to confirm the exact end position.
Choose the MFCJ40 over the MFCJ32 when you need serious thrust: the 40 mm bore pushes 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa compared to 402.2 N for the 32 mm variant. The external adjuster lets you fine-tune the usable extend from 170 to 200 mm, making it perfect for trial fits and changeovers where end-of-stroke shock also requires tuning via the variable air cushion.
Mount using LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion brackets (no SDB option). Remember that the cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of travel—it is not a brake. If your application must hold a load vertically during air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
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 170-200 mm), while the variable air cushion at both ends decelerates the piston for smooth stops. The -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors.
