The AirTAC MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ40X250-100S 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.
Dial in a precise forward stop without swapping hardware using the AirTAC MICJ40X250-100S, a round-body stainless-steel mini cylinder that shortens the extend stroke by up to 100 mm on site.
A needle-set adjustable air cushion at both ends soaks up high-speed shock to protect your tooling, operating reliably at speeds from 30 to 800 mm/s. The stainless barrel and piston rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. Note that this Ø40 size is a non-ISO-6432 round-body design, and the external stop screw sets the end position but does not function as a mid-stroke lock.

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. |

| -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.
Pushes heavy cartons at high speed on a packaging line, using the 100 mm extend adjustment to dial in the exact push distance while the dual air cushions absorb the impact.
Acts as an adjustable stop gate for heavy pallets, trimming the forward position on site without hardware changes and handling the load with a 377 N safe working margin.
When sizing this 40 mm bore, moving down to a 32 mm bore drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 402.2 N, while no larger standard MICJ bore exists. The adjustable stop and dual air cushions are ideal for fast, settable-position moves, but remember the cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates near the stroke end and never acts as a brake. For a held load, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, and TC trunnion, but the SDB pivot-block is not available on this adjustable-stroke variant. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you can directly mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for reed or electronic sensing.
Quick checklist
The theoretical maximum force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 100 mm, while a needle-set adjustable air cushion at both ends decelerates the piston at high speed. The -S magnet enables CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The stop screw sets the end position but is not a mid-stroke lock; the cylinder will drift on air loss, so use an external rod lock for holding.
