The AirTAC Airtac MFJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFJ40X175-10S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 175mm 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 stroke by up to 10 mm on-site, the AirTAC MFJ40X175-10S lets you dial in the exact end position between 165 mm and 175 mm without buying a new cylinder. This double-acting mini cylinder delivers a robust 628.3 N push force at 0.5 MPa, making it a strong choice for mid-weight positioning tasks.
Built as a JIS-standard round-body unit with a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers, it occupies a shorter mounting envelope than an ISO 6432 cylinder of the same bore and stroke. The -S suffix means a piston magnet is fitted for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. It uses a 1/4" port, a 16 mm rod, and fixed TPU bumpers to decelerate the stroke ends.

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 165-175 mm extend position during product format changes, using the 628.3 N force to push new fixtures into place without swapping hardware.
Dial in the exact end-of-stroke stop on prototype assembly rigs, relying on the 377 N safe working load to seat components before finalizing dimensions.
Adjust the extend endpoint on the fly for batch variations, letting the 40 mm bore handle loads up to 32 kg vertically while the SUS304 barrel resists washdown.
When sizing these adjustable units, compare the two bores directly: this MFJ40 pushes with 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa, whereas the smaller MFJ32 provides 402.2 N. If your application demands a safe working load around 377 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa push figure) or needs to lift roughly 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin, the 40 mm bore is the correct selection.
The 10 mm adjuster is ideal for trial fits and line changeovers where the final stop position is not yet finalized. Remember that the bumper only decelerates the stroke; it does not hold the load on air loss, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for suspended loads. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, and TC trunnion (no SDB).
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore cylinder has a 1/4" port and a 16 mm rod. It pushes with 628.3 N and pulls with 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 879.6 N and pulls 738.9 N. The theoretical max force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The external adjuster shortens the extend stroke by up to 10 mm, giving a usable extend range of 165-175 mm.
Yes, the -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The cylinder uses fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate at the stroke ends, but it does not hold the load if air pressure is lost. For suspended loads that must not drift, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
