The AirTAC MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ40X20-20S 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.
Dial in a precise forward stop on-site with the AirTAC MICJ40X20-20S, a round-body stainless mini cylinder featuring a 20 mm adjustable extend stroke. An external stop screw trims the extend end position without swapping cylinders, while a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends soaks up high-speed shock. The retract stroke remains full length.
It uses a 1/4" air port and an M12x1.25 male rod thread. The -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors.

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. |
| -20 | 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.
Folds heavy corrugated flaps at speed; the dual adjustable air cushions absorb the high-speed impact to prevent crushing the carton.
The adjustable extend stop and dual air cushions are ideal for fast, repeatable set-position moves where you must tune out impact shock.
Because the stop screw only sets the end position and the cushion only decelerates near stroke end, the piston will drift on air loss. For a held load, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Mount via LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion (SDB pivot-block is not offered on this variant). Use the -S magnet with CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches for position sensing.
Quick checklist
This Ø40 mm double-acting cylinder uses a 1/4" air port. The theoretical maximum force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external stop screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 20 mm on-site, letting you set the forward end position without changing the cylinder. A needle-set variable air cushion at both ends decelerates the piston near stroke end to absorb high-speed shock. The -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors. Note that the stop screw is not a mid-stroke lock.
