The AirTAC MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ40X225-30S is a genuine double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 225mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments.
Tune the forward stop on site without swapping hardware using the AirTAC MICJ40X225-30S. This round-body stainless steel mini cylinder shortens the extend stroke by up to 30 mm via an external screw, yielding a usable forward range of 195-225 mm, while a needle-set air cushion at both ends absorbs high-speed shock.
The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. Because this is a 40 mm bore, it is a non-ISO-6432 size, yet it delivers substantial power with a theoretical maximum of 128.1 kgf. The built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches.

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.
Pushing heavy cartons at 800 mm/s on a packaging line, using the 30 mm extend adjustment to set the exact push-off distance while the dual air cushions absorb the high-speed impact.
Raising 30 kg tote boxes vertically, safely operating within the 32 kg lift margin, and relying on the stainless construction to handle humid warehouse conditions.
Driving a light assembly press where the forward stroke must be fine-tuned between 195 and 225 mm for different product heights without changing the cylinder mount.
When sizing this 40 mm bore, stepping down to a 32 mm bore drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 402.2 N, whereas the 40 mm provides 628.3 N—ideal if you need that extra thrust margin. There is no larger standard MICJ bore available, making this the top force option in the series. The 30 mm extend adjuster and dual air cushions excel in fast set-position moves where you must dial in the exact forward stop and decelerate smoothly.
Mount using LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets; the SDB pivot block is not offered on this adjustable variant. The -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for end-of-stroke confirmation. 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 a held load, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder uses a 1/4" air port and a 16 mm rod.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 30 mm on site, giving a usable forward range of 195-225 mm; retract remains full. Needle valves adjust the air cushions at both ends to decelerate the piston near stroke ends. The -S suffix means it has a magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
