The AirTAC Airtac MFJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MFJ40X65-20 is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke JIS-standard round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 65mm 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.
Dial in your extend end-point on the fly with the AirTAC MFJ40X65-20, a JIS-standard round-body mini cylinder built with a SUS304 stainless barrel and riveted aluminium covers. An external adjuster lets you shorten the forward stroke by up to 20 mm directly at the fixture, giving a usable extend range of 45 to 65 mm without buying a new unit or adding external stops. Because the body is inherently shorter than a comparable ISO 6432 cylinder for this 40 mm bore and 65 mm stroke, it saves valuable mounting length in tight machinery.
This double-acting actuator delivers 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, translating to a safe working load of roughly 377 N or a vertical lift of about 32 kg with a 2:1 margin. It uses a 1/4" port and a 16 mm rod with an M14x1.5 male thread. Note that this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The fixed TPU bumper pads absorb end-of-stroke impact, but the piston will drift if air pressure is lost, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you need to hold a suspended load.

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 45 to 65 mm extend position during product format changes, utilising the 628.3 N push force to shift heavier tooling without adding external stops.
Dial in the exact end-of-stroke contact point on prototype assemblies, using the 20 mm adjuster to test multiple positions before finalising the mechanical layout.
Act as an adjustable physical stop for incoming pallets or goods, leveraging the 527.8 N pull force and fixed TPU bumpers to absorb impact at the end of travel.
Choosing between the two available bores comes down to your force requirements. The MFJ40X65-20 provides 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for heavier positioning tasks. If your application is lighter, stepping down to the MFJ32 bore yields 402.2 N push at 0.5 MPa, which might be a better fit for compact assemblies.
The 20 mm adjustable window is ideal for trial fits and line changeovers where the exact end position is not yet finalised. For mounting, you can use LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets (there is no SDB or back-cover option on this build). If you require position feedback, select the -S magnet variant to enable CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore, 65 mm stroke cylinder uses a 1/4" port and a 16 mm rod with an M14x1.5 thread. It delivers 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 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. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa, proof pressure is 1.5 MPa, and speed ranges from 30-800 mm/s.
The external adjuster shortens the extend stroke by up to 20 mm on-site, giving a usable forward range of 45 to 65 mm; the retract stroke remains full. The cylinder has fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate at the end of travel, not an adjustable air cushion. It does not hold position on air loss, so you must use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for suspended loads. This SKU has no -S magnet and cannot take sensors.
