The AirTAC Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ40X300-40 is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 300mm 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-site with this 40 mm bore adjustable-stroke cylinder, which shortens the 300 mm extend stroke by up to 40 mm via an external adjuster. As a JIS-standard round-body mini, its riveted SUS304 stainless barrel and aluminium covers form a compact body that is physically shorter than an equivalent ISO 6432 unit, saving valuable mounting length while resisting mild washdown corrosion.
Driven by filtered air at 0.15-1.0 MPa through a 1/4" port, the Ø16 rod (M14x1.5 male thread) delivers a robust 628.3 N push force at 0.5 MPa. A needle-set variable air cushion at both ends soaks up high-speed kinetic energy for smooth deceleration. Factoring a 2:1 safety margin, this bore lifts about 32 kg vertically, yielding a safe working load near 377 N. Note this SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.

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 40 mm stroke window and needle air cushion to softly route 30 kg packages at 800 mm/s without harsh end impacts.
Leverage the 628.3 N push force to feed stock, dialing in the exact extend position during changeovers to prevent over-travel.
Adjust the stopping endpoint on-site for various pallet sizes while the air cushion absorbs the shock of heavy incoming loads.
Choose the MFCJ40 over the MFCJ32 when you need to step up from 402.2 N to 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. This larger bore is ideal for high-speed changeovers where both the exact extend endpoint and the end-of-stroke shock require field tuning. The variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke ends; it does not lock or hold the load. If your application must prevent drift on air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, and TC trunnion (no SDB or back-cover code is available on this adjustable build). Because this specific code lacks the -S magnet option, position sensing is not possible; order an -S variant if you require CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/4" port and generates 628.3 N push / 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 879.6 N push / 738.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must order an -S variant for position sensing. The external adjuster shortens the extend stroke by up to 40 mm, and the variable air cushion decelerates the piston, but neither feature acts as a mid-stroke lock.
