The AirTAC MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ40X20-10 is a genuine double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 20mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments.
Shave up to 10 mm off the forward end position on site with the AirTAC MICJ40X20-10, a 40 mm bore round-body mini cylinder built from stainless steel for mild washdown resistance. An external stop screw dials in the extend stroke from 10 to 20 mm, while a needle-set adjustable air cushion at both ends soaks up high-speed shock.
This double-acting actuator uses a 1/4" air port and a 16 mm piston rod with an M12x1.25 male thread. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors; choose the -S variant for position detection.

| 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 |

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).
| MICJ | round-body mini cylinder (adjustable-stroke, variable cushion). |
|---|---|
| 40 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×20 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -10 | Adjustable stroke window (mm the extend stroke can be shortened on site). |
| -S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. |
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.
Pivot a loaded sorting gate at speed; the stainless build handles mild splashing and the adjustable cushion prevents end-of-stroke slamming.
Apply 32 kg of vertical down-force to seal large boxes, fine-tuning the forward stop on the fly without swapping the actuator.
For lighter pushes, the 32 mm bore hits 402.2 N at 0.5 MPa, whereas this 40 mm bore provides 628.3 N. There is no larger MICJ bore, so for loads above the 128.1 kgf theoretical max, switch to a different profile. The 10 mm extend adjuster and dual air cushions excel in fast, settable-position moves. Remember the stop screw sets the end position but is not a mid-stroke lock; the piston drifts on air loss, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended load.
Mount using LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion brackets (SDB pivot-block is unavailable on this adjustable type), plus CA/U/R/CM back covers. Because this exact SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot accept position sensors.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/4" port. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 628.3 N and pulls 527.8 N. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 879.6 N and pulls 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 10 mm (retract stays full). A needle valve adjusts the air cushion at both ends to decelerate the piston near stroke end. The cushion is not a brake, and the cylinder drifts on air loss, so use a pilot check valve to hold a load. This non-S SKU has no magnet for sensors.
