About the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ40X160-40
Dial in your forward stop on-site with the AirTAC MICJ40X160-40, a double-acting round-body mini cylinder featuring a 40 mm adjustable extend stroke. An external screw trims the extend end position down from the 160 mm nominal maximum, while a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends absorbs high-speed shock. The stainless-steel barrel and Ø16 mm piston rod shrug off mild corrosion and washdown environments. It operates at 30-800 mm/s, runs on a 1/4" port, and handles a theoretical maximum of 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Note this specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors; you would need the -S variant for position detection. The stop screw sets the end position but is not a mid-stroke lock, and the cushion only decelerates near the stroke end.

| Stroke | 160 mm |
| Acting type | Double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke + cushion |
| Port size | 1/4" |
| Rod thread | M12×1.25 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 30 – 800 mm/s |

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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø40mm)
| 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).

Where the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ40X160-40 Is Used
Pallet Stop Gate
Halts incoming pallets using the 32 kg vertical lift capacity, dialing the forward stop down from 160 mm to fit exact pallet widths without swapping hardware.
Is the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ40X160-40 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 40 mm bore, stepping down to the Ø32 model reduces the 0.5 MPa push force to 402.2 N, while no larger ISO standard round-body mini exists above it in this family. Choose the MICJ40X160-40 when you need high thrust combined with a dial-in forward stop for fast, repetitive set-position moves. The adjustable air cushion prevents end-of-stroke banging at high speeds, but remember the cylinder will drift and drop its load on air loss. For suspended or vertical loads, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve, as the cushion only decelerates and never brakes. Mount using LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets, plus CA, U, R, or CM back covers; the SDB pivot block is not available on this adjustable variant.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/R/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check Use correct back cover (CA/U/R/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ40X160-40 FAQ
This 40 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/4" port. The theoretical maximum force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 40 mm on-site, setting the forward end position without a mid-stroke lock. A needle valve adjusts the air cushion at both ends to decelerate high-speed moves. This SKU has no magnet for sensors; for load holding on air loss, use an external rod lock.
