The AirTAC Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ40X25-20S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 25mm 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.
Dial in exact end positions and absorb high-speed shock with the AirTAC MFCJ40X25-20S, a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder. It features a SUS304 stainless barrel with riveted aluminium covers, yielding a shorter mounting envelope than an ISO 6432 unit of identical bore and stroke. The external adjuster shortens the extend stroke by up to 20 mm on-site, while the needle-variable air cushion at both ends ensures smooth deceleration. A built-in magnet (-S) enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor integration.
Operating at 0.15-1.0 MPa with a 1/4" port and M14x1.5 male rod thread, this double-acting actuator delivers 628.3 N push force at 0.5 MPa. For sizing context, it offers a safe working load of roughly 377 N, lifting about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. It hits a theoretical maximum of 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa, making it a robust choice for demanding changeovers.

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.
Leverage the 628.3 N push force to seat small bearings, using the 20 mm stroke adjuster to fine-tune the press depth without reprogramming the PLC.
Control product flow on a packaging line by tuning the extend stroke on-site, while the variable air cushion absorbs the repetitive high-speed shock of routing boxes.
Lift light fixtures up to 32 kg in a sorting hub; the -S magnet tracks the load position, while the cushion softens the upward stop at 800 mm/s.
When choosing between the two available bores, the MFCJ40 provides 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa compared to the MFCJ32 at 402.2 N. Select this 40 mm bore when your trial fits or high-speed changeovers require that extra thrust alongside the 20 mm adjustable stroke window. The variable air cushion is essential for shock-sensitive setups, allowing you to tune end-of-stroke deceleration precisely.
Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, and TC trunnion (no SDB or back-cover). Because this is an -S model, you can directly mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for position feedback. Remember that the cushion only decelerates the piston; it does not act as a brake. If air loss occurs, the piston will drift, so install an external rod lock or pilot check valve for suspended loads.
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, increasing to 879.6 N push and 738.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The external adjuster shortens the extend stroke by up to 20 mm on-site for precise positioning. The needle-variable air cushion at both ends decelerates the piston near the stroke ends to reduce shock at speeds up to 800 mm/s. The cushion only slows the piston; it does not lock or hold the load.
