The AirTAC Airtac MFJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFJ40X100-50 is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 100mm 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.
Trimming the extend end by up to 50 mm on site, the AirTAC MFJ40X100-50 lets you set a usable 50 to 100 mm forward stroke without buying a new cylinder or adding external stops. This JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder features a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers, giving you a shorter mounting envelope than an ISO 6432 unit for the same 40 mm bore and 100 mm stroke.
The 40 mm bore delivers 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, yielding a safe working load of about 377 N or a 32 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Air connects via a 1/4" port, and the 16 mm rod uses an M14x1.5 male thread. Note this SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors.

| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | 739 N |
| 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.
Fine-tune the 50 mm extend window during product line changeovers to set new end positions rapidly without swapping out the entire cylinder.
Dial in the exact forward stroke on prototype assembly rigs where the final stopping position is unknown, using the 628.3 N push force to test fits.
Adjust the extend end on the fly for variable-position stops, taking advantage of the shorter JIS body length to save space in tight machinery.
When sizing these adjustable cylinders, compare the real thrust: the MFJ40 pushes 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa versus 402.2 N for the MFJ32. Choose the 40 mm bore if your trial fits or changeover stations need that extra force. The external adjuster is ideal for variable-position stops where the exact end point is unknown during commissioning.
Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange and TC trunnion (no SDB or back-cover). Remember that the fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end; they do not lock the piston. If you need to hold a load on air loss, fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve. Operating speed runs 30-800 mm/s.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/4" port and an M14x1.5 male rod thread. It pushes 628.3 N and pulls 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 879.6 N and pulls 738.9 N. The theoretical maximum force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The external adjuster shortens the extend stroke by up to 50 mm on site, giving a usable 50 to 100 mm forward travel, while retract remains full. It uses fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate the stroke end, not an adjustable air cushion. Also, this SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept magnetic sensors.
