The AirTAC Airtac MFJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFJ40X25-30 is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 25mm 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 stroke by up to 30 mm directly at the fixture with the AirTAC MFJ40X25-30, a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder built for on-site end-position tuning. The external adjuster lets you shorten the forward stroke without buying a new unit or adding external stops, making it highly useful for trial fits and line changeovers where the exact travel is not yet final. This double-acting actuator uses a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers, yielding a shorter overall body than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same 40 mm bore and 25 mm stroke. The 1/4" port and M14x1.5 male rod thread handle a robust force class, delivering 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb impact at the stroke ends, and because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
For practical sizing, this 40 mm bore generates a safe working load of roughly 377 N (about 60 percent of its 0.5 MPa push rating), translating to a vertical lift capacity of about 32 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. It operates between 0.15 and 1.0 MPa at speeds of 30-800 mm/s. Note that the adjuster only sets the end position; it does not function as a mid-stroke lock, and the cylinder will drift if air pressure is lost.

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 by up to 30 mm during product family changeovers, eliminating the downtime usually spent swapping out entire cylinders or repositioning hard stops.
Validate tooling travel on new assemblies with a 628.3 N push capacity, allowing engineers to dial in the exact 25 mm stroke extension safely before finalizing the mechanical layout.
Push lighter sub-assemblies into test fixtures using the 40 mm bore, leveraging the roughly 377 N safe working load to seat parts accurately without overstressing components.
When choosing between the two available bores, the MFJ40 provides 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa compared to the 402.2 N offered by the MFJ32, making this 40 mm version the right pick when you need to move heavier fixtures. The 30 mm adjustable window is ideal for changeover stations where the final extend position varies slightly between product runs. Mount this cylinder using LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets (SDB and back-cover mounts are not available). If your application requires position sensing, you must select the -S magnet variant, as this standard SKU cannot accept a switch. Finally, because the bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end and provide no braking force, you will need an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a load securely during air loss.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore double-acting cylinder features a 1/4" air port and an M14x1.5 male rod thread. It delivers a push force of 628.3 N and a pull force of 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push increases to 879.6 N and the pull to 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 30 mm on-site, letting you set the end position precisely without changing the cylinder. The retract stroke remains full. This mechanism is not a mid-stroke lock or brake, and the fixed TPU bumpers only decelerate the piston near the ends; the cylinder will drift on air loss, so use an external rod lock for holding.
