The AirTAC MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ40X175-100 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.
Dial in exact forward positioning on-site with the AirTAC MICJ40X175-100, a double-acting round-body mini cylinder featuring a 100mm adjustable extend stroke and dual adjustable air cushions. An external stop screw shortens the extend end position down from the 175mm nominal maximum, letting you set the precise forward stop without swapping hardware. The retract stroke remains full length. Built with a stainless-steel barrel and Ø16 rod, it resists mild corrosion and washdown environments.
This Ø40 bore delivers substantial power, pushing 628.3N and pulling 527.8N at 0.5 MPa. It operates at 30-800 mm/s via a 1/4" port. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors; choose the -S variant for position sensing. The needle-set cushions soak up high-speed impact but only decelerate near stroke end—they do not lock the load.

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.
Delivers up to 879.6N of clamping force at 0.7 MPa while the 100mm extend adjuster dials in the exact material stop without custom fixturing.
Moves roughly 32kg loads vertically at speed, relying on the dual adjustable air cushions to absorb end-of-stroke shock and prevent product damage.
Halts heavy pallets on a line, using the external screw to tune the 175mm extend limit to the conveyor frame while the stainless body handles dusty washdowns.
The 100mm extend adjuster paired with the dual air cushions is ideal for fast, settable-position moves where you must tune the forward stop and control end-of-stroke shock.
Mount using LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets, or select CA, U, R, or CM back covers; note the SDB pivot-block is not available on this adjustable variant. Remember that the stop screw sets the end position but is not a mid-stroke lock, and the cylinder will drift on air loss. For holding a suspended load vertically, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This Ø40 double-acting cylinder uses a 1/4" port and a M12x1.25 male rod thread. The theoretical maximum force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 100mm on-site, while needle valves adjust the air cushions at both ends to decelerate high-speed impacts. The cushions only slow the piston near the end of travel; they do not lock or hold the load. If you need position holding on air loss, use an external rod lock. This non-S SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept sensors.
