The AirTAC Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ40X30-30S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 30mm 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 on the fly with the AirTAC MFCJ40X30-30S, a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder featuring a 30 mm extend-stroke adjuster and needle-set variable air cushions at both ends. The SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers yield a shorter mounting envelope than an ISO 6432 unit, resisting mild washdown while saving space. A 1/4" port and M14x1.5 male rod thread equip the 16 mm piston rod for robust 40 mm bore duty.
Generating 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting actuator easily handles a safe working load of roughly 377 N or lifts about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The -S suffix denotes a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches, enabling position sensing. The external adjuster shortens the extend stroke within its 30 mm window for trial fits, while the cushions absorb high-speed shock—neither component locks the load.

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.
Leveraging 628.3 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa, the 30 mm stroke adjuster dials in the exact pressing depth, while the needle air cushion prevents harsh impact during rapid cycling.
The shorter JIS body saves space along the line, and the variable cushion smoothly halts the 40 mm piston at high speed without bouncing lightweight packages.
Lifting about 32 kg with a 2:1 margin, the built-in -S magnet confirms retraction via a DMSG switch, and the 30 mm adjuster sets the precise extend stop height.
When sizing a 40 mm bore against the 32 mm option, the MFCJ40 delivers 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa compared to 402.2 N for the MFCJ32, making it the clear choice when your changeover demands higher thrust. Choose this adjustable-stroke, variable-cushion build for high-speed cycling where both the exact extend endpoint and end-of-stroke deceleration must be tuned on-site. Mount via LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion (no SDB or back-cover option exists).
Because the -S magnet is present, you can directly mount CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors for switching. Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end—it does not function as a brake. If gravity or air loss could cause the load to drift, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold position securely.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore double-acting cylinder uses a 1/4" port. 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 on-site for trial fits, while the variable air cushion at both ends decelerates the piston to reduce shock at speeds up to 800 mm/s. The -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors to be fitted.
