The AirTAC Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ40X250-10S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 250mm 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 10 mm on site with the MFCJ40X250-10S, a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder built for high-speed changeovers. A needle-set variable air cushion at both ends soaks up end-of-stroke shock.
The SUS304 stainless steel barrel and riveted aluminium covers resist mild washdown, while the body is intentionally shorter than an ISO 6432 unit for the same 40 mm bore and 250 mm stroke. Delivering 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it yields a safe working load of about 377 N. The -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors, and the 1/4" port matches the 16 mm rod.

| 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.
Tune the 10 mm extend window to dial in exact clamping depth on repetitive machining lines, relying on the variable air cushion to halt the 628.3 N push force smoothly.
Absorb the impact of fast diverting arms at 800 mm/s; the needle cushion prevents end-cap banging while the -S magnet confirms stroke position via DMSG sensors.
Halt heavier pallets using the 40 mm bore's robust thrust, adjusting the stroke on-site to match pallet tolerances without re-engineering the station.
When sizing these adjustable-stroke units, compare both bores directly: this MFCJ40 provides 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas the smaller MFCJ32 delivers 402.2 N. Choose the 40 mm bore when moving heavier fixtures, keeping in mind the vertical lift capacity is about 32 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
The external adjuster lets you fine-tune the extend end position for trial fits without swapping cylinders, and the dual air cushions handle fast 30-800 mm/s speeds. Note that the cushion only decelerates the load; it does not hold position on air loss—add an external rod lock or pilot check valve if drift is unacceptable. Mount via LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion (no SDB).
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 10 mm (usable extend 240-250 mm), while the variable air cushion at both ends decelerates the piston near the ends. The -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
