The AirTAC MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ40X175-10 is a genuine double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 175mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments.
Dialing in a precise forward stop on-site is effortless with this stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder, thanks to an external screw that trims the extend stroke by up to 10 mm (usable range 165-175 mm). The MICJ40X175-10 is a double-acting actuator featuring a 1/4" port, a Ø16 mm piston rod with an M12x1.25 male thread, and a needle-set adjustable air cushion at both ends to absorb high-speed shock without bouncing.
Note this non-magnetic SKU cannot host CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors; the -S variant is required for position detection.

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).

|---|---|
| 40 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×175 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -10 | Adjustable stroke window (mm the extend stroke can be shortened on site). |

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 packaged goods at high speed onto a secondary line, using the 10 mm extend adjustment to avoid crushing the cartons while the air cushion decelerates the 628.3 N impact.
Sets the precise down-stroke end position for a liquid filler head on varying bottle heights, relying on the stainless construction for washdown resistance and the cushion to soften the stop.
Acts as a high-force stop gate for incoming pallets, trimming the extend stroke by 10 mm to align perfectly with the conveyor edge while absorbing the shock of heavy loads.
When sizing this 40 mm bore against the rest of the range, dropping down to a Ø32 mm bore cuts the 0.5 MPa push force to 402.2 N, while the Ø40 stands as the largest available bore in this series with no larger option. Choose this model when you need substantial thrust combined with on-the-fly extend tuning and high-speed shock absorption via the dual adjustable air cushions.
Keep in mind the stop screw sets the end position but does not function as a mid-stroke lock, and the cylinder will drift if air pressure is lost—use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for strict load holding. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, and TC trunnion (the SDB pivot-block is not offered on this adjustable variant), operating at speeds of 30-800 mm/s.
Quick checklist
The theoretical maximum force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 10 mm, while a needle valve adjusts the air cushion at both ends to decelerate the piston before impact. The cushion only softens the stop and does not lock the piston; for load holding on air loss, you need an external rod lock or pilot check valve. This non-S SKU also cannot mount magnetic sensors.
