The AirTAC Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ40X25-30 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.
Trim the extend end by up to 30 mm on site with the AirTAC MFCJ40X25-30, a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder built for high-speed tuning. It pairs a SUS304 stainless steel barrel with riveted aluminium covers, yielding a body that is physically shorter than an ISO 6432 unit of the same bore and stroke. The 1/4" port feeds a 16 mm rod, delivering 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa.
A needle variable air cushion at both ends soaks up end-of-stroke shock for smooth deceleration. This 40 mm bore generates a safe working load of roughly 377 N, lifting about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note that this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.

| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety 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 exact 0-25 mm extend position during high-speed press fits while the air cushion absorbs the final impact, protecting delicate 628.3 N assemblies.
Fine-tune the stroke length on the fly for product changeovers on a conveyor line, using the 30 mm window to adapt to varying package sizes without swapping cylinders.
Soften the end-of-stroke shock on rapid sealing jaws using the variable air cushion, while the 40 mm bore provides consistent push force for heavy cardboard.
Choose the 40 mm bore over the 32 mm option when you need serious push force: the MFCJ40 delivers 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa compared to 402.2 N for the MFCJ32. The 30 mm adjustable window is perfect for changeovers where the exact extend position and end shock must be dialed in together. Mount using LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion hardware.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function as a brake. If the load must be held during air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve. Because this non-S SKU has no magnet, order a -S variant if you require position sensing.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4" port and a 16 mm rod. It generates a push force of 628.3 N and a pull force of 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, push is 879.6 N and pull is 738.9 N. The theoretical maximum force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches cannot be used. You must select the -S variant for position sensing. The external adjuster shortens the extend stroke by up to 30 mm, and the variable air cushion decelerates the piston but does not lock the load.
