The AirTAC Airtac MFCJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFCJ40X40-10 is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 40mm 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 impact with the AirTAC MFCJ40X40-10, a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder. The external adjuster shortens the extend stroke by up to 10 mm on-site, while needle valves set a variable air cushion at both ends to decelerate the load smoothly. Built with a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers, this double-acting actuator resists mild corrosion and washdown. It also features a shorter body than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same 40 mm bore and stroke, saving valuable mounting length.
Driven by a 16 mm rod and a 1/4" port, this 40 mm bore generates 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. That translates to a safe working load of roughly 377 N, or vertical lifts of about 32 kg with a 2:1 margin. Note this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end—it is not a lock, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you need to hold a load on air loss.

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.
Use the 628.3 N thrust to seat bearings, then dial the 10 mm stroke adjuster to prevent over-travel while the variable air cushion absorbs the 800 mm/s impact.
Divert heavy loads on a line by leveraging the 32 kg vertical lift capacity, tuning the needle cushion to silently stop the diverter at the end of each stroke.
Fold heavy cardboard flaps precisely by shortening the extend stroke on-site to match varying box heights, relying on the 1/4" port for rapid actuation.
Choose between the two available bores based on your force requirements. The MFCJ40 delivers 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, whereas the smaller MFCJ32 provides 402.2 N push. Pick the 40 mm bore when moving heavier trays or fixtures, and use the 10 mm adjustable window to perfect the extend endpoint during trial fits or high-speed changeovers. The variable air cushion is essential here, letting you tune end-of-stroke shock without adding hard bumpers.
For mounting, select LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets (SDB and back-cover options are unavailable on this adjustable build). Because this base model has no internal magnet, position sensing is impossible. If your sequence control requires end-of-stroke feedback, step up to an -S variant to enable CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore cylinder uses 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.
No, this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The external adjuster shortens the extend stroke by up to 10 mm, and the variable air cushion decelerates the piston, but neither feature acts as a mid-stroke lock or position hold.
