The AirTAC Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ20X40-20S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 40mm 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 20 mm on site without swapping cylinders: the MICJ20X40-20S uses an external screw to shorten the extend end position (usable forward range 20-40 mm), while the retract stroke remains full. This double-acting, stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder pairs that on-site adjustability with a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends to soak up high-speed shock.
The Ø20 mm bore delivers 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, translating to a safe working load of about 94 N or a 2:1 vertical lift capacity near 8 kg. Built with a corrosion-resistant stainless barrel and rod, it drops into standard ISO 6432 mini-cylinder mounting interfaces. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it is fully ready for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position switches.

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.
Dial in the 20 mm extend stop to touch a test probe against a part, using the dual air cushions to prevent bounce during high-speed 157 N forward actuation.
Set a precise intermediate forward position for folding light packaging flaps, safely lifting loads around 8 kg while the stainless body resists washdown.
Adjust the extend endpoint on the fly to seat delicate widgets without changing fixtures, relying on the 1/8" port and needle cushions to absorb end-of-stroke shock.
When sizing, step down to the Ø16 bore for lighter 100 N push tasks, or move up to the Ø25 bore if you need 245 N to move heavier jigs. This Ø20 model hits a solid middle ground, and its adjustable extend stop plus dual air cushions excel in fast set-position moves where you must dial in the exact forward endpoint and control impact without external shock absorbers.
For mounting, use LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion brackets (the SDB pivot block is not offered on this adjustable variant). Remember that the stop screw only sets the end position—it is not a mid-stroke lock. If the load must be held on air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve, as the piston will drift and the cushion only decelerates near the stroke end.
Quick checklist
This Ø20 mm cylinder features a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. It generates 157 N push and 131.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 219.8 N push and 184.7 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum force of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The -S suffix means a built-in piston magnet is included for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors. An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 20 mm (retract stays full), and the needle-set air cushions at both ends decelerate the piston near stroke end—they do not lock or hold the load mid-stroke.
