The AirTAC Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ32X170-10S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 170mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments.
Dial in a precise forward stop without swapping hardware using this stainless steel round-body mini cylinder. The external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 10 mm on site, giving a usable forward range of 160 to 170 mm, while the needle-set air cushion at both ends soaks up high-speed shock. As a double-acting actuator, it delivers substantial force with a 1/8 inch air port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread.
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.2 N and pulls 345.6 N, yielding a safe working load of about 241 N or a vertical lift of roughly 20.5 kg with a 2:1 margin. The riveted stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown. Because this is an -S model, the built-in piston magnet supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for position sensing.

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.
Halts fast-moving packages on a belt by tuning the 10 mm extend stop to the exact lane edge, letting the dual air cushion absorb the 402.2 N push impact smoothly.
Swings heavy cardboard flaps into position at speed; the needle cushion decelerates the 20.5 kg vertical lift force before contact to prevent crushing the box.
Drives a pin to a precise 165 mm depth using the external stop screw, relying on the 563 N push at 0.7 MPa to seat the component without rebound.
For lighter duty, the Ø25 bore provides 245.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the Ø40 bore yields 628.3 N. This Ø32 model fits neatly in the middle, delivering 563 N of push at 0.7 MPa. The adjustable 10 mm extend stop plus dual air cushions excel in fast set-position moves where you must tune the forward impact without changing the entire actuator.
Remember that the stop screw sets the end position but is not a mid-stroke lock; the cushion only decelerates near the stroke end. If you need to hold a load on air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve. Mount using LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion brackets, as the SDB pivot block is not offered on this adjustable variant.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder uses a 1/8 inch air port. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.2 N and pulls 345.6 N. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 563 N and pulls 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 10 mm, setting the forward end position without affecting the full retract. Needle valves adjust the air cushion at both ends to decelerate the piston near stroke ends. The -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors. It does not hold position on air loss; use an external rod lock for that.
