The AirTAC MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ40X250-100 is a genuine double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 250mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments.
Trimming the forward end by up to 100 mm on site, this round-body stainless mini cylinder lets you set a precise 150 to 250 mm extend position without swapping hardware.
Built with a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mild washdown resistance, the 40 mm bore uses a 1/4 inch port and an M12x1.25 male rod thread. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host 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).

|---|---|
| 40 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×250 | Stroke length in mm. |

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.
Dial in the 150-250 mm extend stroke to push heavy pallets onto a side lane, relying on the dual air cushions to absorb shock during fast 628.3 N actuation.
Set a precise forward stop to tuck heavy cardboard flaps on large cartons, using the 100 mm on-site adjustment to fine-tune the tooling position without changing cylinders.
Choose this size when you need robust impact absorption alongside a dial-in forward stop for fast, repetitive positioning.
Remember that the external screw only sets the extend endpoint and the air cushion solely decelerates near the stroke end; neither acts as a mid-stroke lock. If gravity or air loss might cause drift, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve. Mount via LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion, as the SDB pivot block is not offered for this adjustable variant.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore double-acting cylinder uses a 1/4 inch 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 100 mm on site, while a needle valve adjusts the air cushion at both ends to decelerate high-speed impacts. This specific SKU has no magnet, so it cannot support CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors; you would need the -S variant for sensing.
