The AirTAC MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ40X100-40 is a genuine double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 100mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments.
Dial in a precise forward stop on-site with the AirTAC MICJ40X100-40, a round-body stainless steel mini cylinder that shortens the extend stroke by up to 40 mm via an external screw. The usable extend range becomes 60-100 mm out of the 100 mm nominal stroke, while the retract remains full. Because it is a double-acting actuator with an adjustable air cushion at both ends, you set the end position and tune the needle to soak up high-speed shock.
The 40 mm bore delivers substantial power, pushing with 628.3 N and pulling with 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa. Built with a stainless barrel and rod for mild washdown resistance, it features a 1/4" port and an M12x1.25 male rod thread. Note this is a non-ISO-6432 size and, lacking the -S magnet option, this SKU cannot accept position 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 Ø40 bore is a larger, non-ISO-6432 size.

| 0.5 MPa | 528 N |
| 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.
Pushes heavy cartons at high speed on a packaging line, using the 40 mm extend adjustment to dial in the exact push distance while the dual air cushions absorb the impact at stroke end.
Ejects dense metal parts from a press, relying on the stainless build for mild corrosion resistance and the adjustable cushion to soften the retraction stop during rapid cycling.
When sizing this 40 mm bore, compare it directly to the adjacent MICJ options. Stepping down to the 32 mm bore drops your 0.5 MPa push force to 402.2 N, while there is no larger standard MICJ bore available above 40 mm. Choose this 100 mm stroke model when you need the 40 mm extend adjustability to fine-tune a set-position move without swapping hardware, paired with the dual air cushions to decelerate heavy fast loads.
Remember that the stop screw only sets the extend end position and the cushion only decelerates near the stroke end; neither acts as a mid-stroke lock or brake. If the application must hold a load on air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. For mounting, use LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets, plus CA, U, R, or CM back covers, as the SDB pivot block is not offered on this adjustable variant.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/4" port and an M12x1.25 male rod thread. At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 628.3 N and pulls with 527.8 N. At 0.7 MPa the push increases to 879.6 N and the pull to 738.9 N. The theoretical maximum force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 40 mm, giving a usable forward range of 60-100 mm, while the retract stroke remains full. Needle valves adjust the air cushion at both ends to decelerate the piston before impact. The cylinder does not hold position on air loss and the screw is not a mid-stroke lock; use an external rod lock for holding. This SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take sensors unless you specify the -S variant.
