The AirTAC Airtac MFJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFJ40X250-10 is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 250mm 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 10 mm on site, the AirTAC MFJ40X250-10 lets you dial in a 240 to 250 mm forward stroke without buying a new unit or adding external stops. This JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder features a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers, delivering a shorter overall length than an ISO 6432 cylinder for the same 40 mm bore and 250 mm stroke.
Driven by a 16 mm rod through a 1/4 inch port, this double-acting actuator pushes with 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa. That translates to a safe working load of about 377 N, or roughly 32 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Fixed TPU bumper pads absorb end impacts, and because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors.

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 240 to 250 mm extend position during format changeovers, using the 10 mm adjuster to match new stop distances without machining new brackets.
Leverage the 628.3 N push force to seat components while fine-tuning the exact forward position on prototype rigs before finalising the stroke length.
Safely press test samples with a 377 N working load, making minute 1 mm adjustments to the extend end to find the optimal contact point.
Choose the MFJ40 over the MFJ32 when you need the higher force class: the 40 mm bore delivers 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa versus 402.2 N for the 32 mm option. The 10 mm adjustable window is ideal for trial fits and line changeovers where the exact end position is not yet final, saving you from swapping hardware for every minor tweak.
Mount this actuator using LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion brackets, as there is no SDB or back-cover option. Remember that the external adjuster and fixed bumpers only decelerate the stroke; they do not lock the rod. If the load must be held on air loss, fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore double-acting cylinder has a 1/4 inch port and an M14x1.5 male rod thread. 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 10 mm, giving a usable 240 to 250 mm forward range while retract remains full. Fixed TPU bumper pads decelerate the end of travel but do not act as a brake; the piston drifts on air loss, so use an external rod lock for holding. This SKU has no -S magnet and cannot take sensors.
