The AirTAC MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ40X15-20S is a genuine double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 15mm 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 MICJ40X15-20S, a round-body stainless steel mini cylinder that shortens the extend end position by up to 20 mm via an external screw. Built for rapid motion, it pairs this settable stroke with an adjustable air cushion at both ends to soak up high-speed shock without metal-on-metal impact. The retract stroke remains full length, and the unit operates as a standard double-acting actuator.
The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it is fully ready for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches. Note that Ø40 is a non-ISO-6432 size, and the 1/4" port feeds the larger 16 mm piston rod.

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.
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 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.
Shifts a robust routing gate on a packaging line, using the 20 mm extend adjuster to fine-tune the diversion angle and the dual air cushions to absorb the impact of fast 32 kg loads.
Deploys a heavy stop arm to halt incoming pallets, using the adjustable needle cushion to decelerate the strike safely without needing an external shock absorber.
The adjustable extend stop and dual needle cushions shine in fast set-position moves where you must tune the forward end point and decelerate a heavy load smoothly. Remember that the stop screw sets the end position but is not a mid-stroke lock; the piston will drift on air loss, so specify an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you must hold a suspended load.
Mounting choices include LB foot, FA flange, and TC trunnion styles, plus CA, U, R, or CM back covers. The SDB pivot block is not available on this adjustable-stroke variant. Use the built-in -S magnet with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for precise end-of-stroke confirmation.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder uses a 1/4" air port and a 16 mm rod. The theoretical maximum force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 20 mm so you can set the exact forward end position without moving the cylinder. The adjustable air cushion at both ends decelerates the piston near the stroke ends to reduce shock; it is not a mid-stroke lock or brake. The -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors to track position.
