The AirTAC MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ40X10-10S is a genuine double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 10mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments.
Dial in a precise forward stop without swapping cylinders on the AirTAC MICJ40X10-10S, a round-body stainless steel mini cylinder that trims the extend end by up to 10 mm via an external screw. The built-in needle-adjustable air cushion at both ends soaks up high-speed shock, letting you set the exact end position and control the impact simultaneously. A trailing -S in the SKU denotes the integrated piston magnet, enabling direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors for position detection.
As the largest bore in this series, the Ø40 body delivers substantial force, pushing with 628.3 N and pulling with 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments, while the 1/4" port and M12x1.25 male rod thread ensure robust pneumatic and mechanical connections for heavy-duty tasks.

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 Ø40 bore is a larger, non-ISO-6432 size.

| 0.7 MPa | 739 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 108 kgf |
MIJ / MICJ are double-rod: the rear rod that carries the stroke adjuster exits the rear cover, so both piston faces lose rod area. The rod-side (annular) area is used for both directions (conservative).

MI-family variants: MI / MIC (double acting ±cushion), MSI / MTI (single acting push / pull), MID / MICD (double rod ±cushion), MIJ / MICJ (double rod, adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / R / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
Halts heavy cartons on a high-speed line; the dual adjustable air cushions absorb the impact energy, while the magnet enables immediate switch feedback.
Raises a 32 kg access panel using the 0.5 MPa push force, relying on the external stop screw to set a precise 0-10 mm opening height for repeatable positioning.
When sizing this 40 mm bore, stepping down to the Ø32 variant drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 402.2 N, whereas the Ø40 is the largest available round-body option in this lineup, delivering a maximum theoretical output of 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The adjustable stop screw and dual air cushions are ideal for fast, settable-position moves, but remember the screw only sets the end position—it is not a mid-stroke lock. The cushion merely decelerates the piston near the stroke end and never acts as a brake.
For mounting, choose LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion brackets, noting that the SDB pivot-block is not offered on this adjustable-stroke variant. Because this is a plain double-acting cylinder, it will not hold a load on air loss—the piston drifts—so incorporate an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if you need to maintain vertical position during an emergency stop.
Quick checklist
This Ø40 mm cylinder features a 1/4" air port and a Ø16 mm piston rod. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 879.6 N and pull to 738.9 N. The theoretical maximum force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The external stop screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 10 mm on-site, allowing you to fine-tune the forward end position without changing the cylinder. The needle-adjustable air cushions at both ends decelerate the piston to absorb high-speed shock, but this is not a mid-stroke lock. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for use with CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors.
