The AirTAC Airtac MFJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFJ40X160-100S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 160mm 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.
Trim the extend end by up to 100 mm directly at the fixture with the MFJ40X160-100S, setting usable travel between 60 and 160 mm without buying a new unit. This JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder pairs a SUS304 stainless barrel with riveted aluminium covers, yielding a shorter overall length than an ISO 6432 build for the same 40 mm bore and 160 mm stroke.
Driven by a 16 mm rod and a 1/4" port, the double-acting action delivers 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The integrated -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for position sensing. With a safe working load near 377 N, it lifts about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Fixed TPU bumpers absorb end impacts across the 30-800 mm/s speed range.

| 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.
Dial in the extend position across different product families using the 100 mm window, avoiding the need to swap cylinders when retooling the line.
Safely test end-of-stroke locations on new assemblies, relying on the 628.3 N push force to seat components while you finalize the exact 60-160 mm travel.
Replace hard external stops with the built-in adjuster to set precise extend endpoints on the fly, perfect for flexible machining fixtures.
When sizing these adjustable cylinders, compare the real thrust: this 40 mm bore pushes 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa, whereas the 32 mm bore delivers 402.2 N. Choose the 40 mm version when moving heavier jigs or defeating higher friction during line changeovers. The 100 mm adjustment window is ideal for trial fits where the exact extend position is unknown until commissioning.
Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange and TC trunnion (no SDB or back-cover). Remember that the external adjuster only shortens the extend stroke; it does not lock the piston. If air pressure drops, the load drifts, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve for holding. The -S magnet enables CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors; without it, a SKU cannot take a switch.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4" port and a 16 mm rod. It generates 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 879.6 N push and 738.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The external adjuster shortens the extend stroke by up to 100 mm on-site, giving a usable extend range of 60-160 mm; retract remains full. End-of-travel deceleration is handled by fixed TPU bumper pads, not an adjustable air cushion. The -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors to detect position.
