The AirTAC Airtac MFJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFJ40X125-40S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 125mm 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 40 mm on-site, this double-acting JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder saves you from buying new parts when the exact 85 to 125 mm end position is not yet final. The SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers form a compact body that is physically shorter than a comparable ISO 6432 unit, yielding a practical safe working load of roughly 377 N. Because the -S suffix equips the piston with a magnet, you can mount CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches directly for position sensing.
Driven by a 16 mm rod through a 1/4" port, the 40 mm bore delivers 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The fixed TPU bumper pads absorb end-of-stroke impact across the 30 to 800 mm/s speed range, and the external adjuster functions purely as a stroke limiter, not a mid-travel lock.

| 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 extend position within the 40 mm window during format changeovers, avoiding the need to swap cylinders for different product sizes.
Perfect for trial rigs where the final extend length is unknown, letting you safely test positions with 628.3 N of push force before locking the adjuster.
Acts as an adaptable hard stop for assembly stations, providing repeatable end positions while the built-in magnet confirms stroke completion.
When sizing these adjustable units, compare both bores directly: this MFJ40 pushes 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa, while the smaller MFJ32 delivers 402.2 N. Choose the 40 mm bore when your trial fits or line changeovers involve heavier moving masses, using the 40 mm adjuster window to dial in the exact extend stop without external hardware. For mounting, select LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion brackets (SDB is unavailable). Remember that air pressure alone does not hold the load if supply drops, the piston drifts, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve for vertical safety.
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, increasing to 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 40 mm on-site, giving a usable 85 to 125 mm window. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by fixed TPU bumper pads, not an adjustable air cushion. The -S suffix provides a magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors.
