The AirTAC Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ32X160-40 is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 160mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments.
Trim the forward stop by up to 40 mm on-site without swapping hardware using this stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder. The MICJ32X160-40 is a double-acting actuator featuring a 1/8" port, a 12 mm piston rod, and an adjustable air cushion at both ends to absorb high-speed impact. Usable extend ranges from 120 to 160 mm, while retract remains full.
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it easily handles a safe working load of roughly 241 N or lifts about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. Note that this non-ISO-6432 32 mm bore SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MI/MIC (ISO 6432) datasheet. Barrel & rod: stainless steel (round-body, riveted construction). Thread options: PT (blank) / G. Note: the Ø32 bore is a larger, non-ISO-6432 size.

| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | 484 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 82 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

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 120-160 mm extend stroke to push 20 kg cartons precisely at 800 mm/s while the dual air cushions absorb the high-speed shock.
Trim the forward stop by 40 mm to seal varying container heights on the fly, using the 402.2 N push force to secure light washdown loads.
Set a hard forward limit for pallet routing without changing cylinders, relying on the stainless rod to endure mildly humid staging areas.
For lighter duty, the 25 mm bore yields 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the 40 mm bore provides 628.3 N. This 32 mm bore hits a solid middle ground. The external stop screw and needle-set cushions are ideal for fast, repeatable set-position moves, but remember the screw only sets the end position—it is not a mid-stroke lock. The piston will drift on air loss, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads.
Mount using LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets (SDB pivot-block is not available on this adjustable variant). Back cover options include CA, U, R, and CM. Because this specific SKU has no -S magnet, position sensing is impossible; choose the -S version if you require CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore double-acting cylinder uses a 1/8" port and a 12 mm rod. It generates 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external screw shortens the extend end position by up to 40 mm (usable extend 120-160 mm), while needle valves tune the adjustable air cushions at both ends to decelerate high-speed moves. The cushions only slow the piston near stroke end and do not act as a brake; the cylinder cannot hold position on air loss. This SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take sensors.
