The AirTAC Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ20X125-40S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 125mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments. Its ISO 6432 mounting interface makes it a compact drop-in for standard mini-cylinder fixtures.
Trim the forward stop by up to 40 mm on-site without swapping hardware using the AirTAC MICJ20X125-40S. This double-acting, round-body stainless-steel mini cylinder pairs a 125 mm nominal stroke with an adjustable extend range of 85-125 mm, dialing in exact endpoints while the retract remains full. A needle-set variable air cushion at both ends soaks up high-speed shock, letting you set the position and control the impact simultaneously. The stainless barrel and piston rod supply mild corrosion and washdown resistance, and the built-in -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches.
Delivering 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (131.9 N pull), it yields a safe working load of roughly 94 N, capable of vertically lifting about 8 kg with a 2:1 margin. It features an 8 mm piston rod, an M8x1.25 male rod thread, and a 1/8" air port. Conforming to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for Ø16-Ø25 bores, it drops directly into standard mini brackets and clevises.

MI-family variants: MI / MIC (double acting ±cushion), MSI / MTI (single acting push / pull), MID / MICD (double rod ±cushion), MIJ / MICJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / R / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
Fine-tune the 85-125 mm extend stroke to deflect packages of varying widths on a conveyor, relying on the 157 N push force and air cushions to absorb high-speed impacts.
Safely lower an 8 kg tooling head with a 2:1 margin, using the 40 mm extend trim to set the exact lowering depth and the needle cushion to prevent harsh bottoming.
Push stainless hardware into a washdown station, utilizing the corrosion-resistant stainless steel barrel and the -S magnet to trigger an EMSG sensor upon completion.
If you need less push, the smaller Ø16 bore provides 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the Ø25 bore yields 245.3 N for heavier fixtures. This Ø20 bore is ideal for fast, settable-position moves where the 40 mm extend adjuster and dual air cushions prevent end-of-stroke banging. Choose LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion mounts, as the SDB pivot-block is not offered on adjustable-stroke variants. The -S magnet allows CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors for end-of-stroke confirmation.
Remember that the external stop screw sets the extend end position only; it is not a mid-stroke lock. The cylinder will drift and the piston will not hold its load on air loss, as the air cushion solely decelerates near the stroke end. For suspended loads, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder pushes with 157 N and pulls with 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, push is 219.8 N and pull is 184.7 N. The theoretical maximum force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a 1/8" air port and an 8 mm piston rod with an M8x1.25 male thread.
An external stop screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 40 mm on-site, while the retract stroke remains fixed. A needle-set variable air cushion at both ends decelerates the piston near the stroke ends to absorb high-speed shock, but it is not a mid-stroke lock. The -S designation indicates a built-in piston magnet for use with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and electronic sensors.
