The AirTAC Airtac MFJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFJ40X225-40S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 225mm 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 40 mm on site, the MFJ40X225-40S lets you dial in the exact end position between 185 mm and 225 mm without buying a new cylinder or adding external stops. This JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder features a SUS304 stainless steel barrel and riveted aluminium covers, yielding a shorter overall length than an ISO 6432 unit for the same 40 mm bore and 225 mm stroke. The riveted rolling-packed construction resists mild corrosion and washdown environments.
Driven by a 16 mm piston rod and a 1/4" port, this double-acting actuator delivers 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. For vertical lifting tasks, it handles about 32 kg safely with a 2:1 margin, while the built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for position sensing. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb impact at the stroke ends across a 30-800 mm/s speed range.

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 225 mm extend down by 40 mm during product line changeovers, using the 628.3 N push force to shift heavy tooling without swapping cylinders.
Dial in the exact end position on prototype assembly rigs where the final travel distance is unknown, relying on the SUS304 body for washdown resistance.
Adjust the stroke externally to set precise variable stops for machining fixtures, taking advantage of the 32 kg vertical lift capacity at 0.5 MPa.
When sizing these adjustable cylinders, compare the two available bores directly: the MFJ40 pushes with 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa, whereas the smaller MFJ32 provides 402.2 N. Choose the 40 mm bore if your trial fits or line changeovers involve moving heavier jigs, and use the external adjuster to fine-tune the extend end by up to 40 mm when the exact travel is not yet final. Both options use a 1/4" port.
Mount this actuator using LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets, as there is no SDB or back-cover option on this build. The -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for confirmation. Remember that the adjuster only sets the end position; it is not a mid-stroke lock, and the cylinder will drift on air loss—add an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you need to hold a suspended load.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore double-acting cylinder uses a 1/4" port and a 16 mm rod with an M14x1.5 male thread. 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.
An external adjuster shortens the extend stroke by up to 40 mm on site, giving a usable range of 185-225 mm, while the retract remains full. It uses fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate at the ends, not an adjustable air cushion. The -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
