The AirTAC MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ40X250-30S 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 the forward stop on-site without swapping cylinders: the MICJ40X250-30S uses an external screw to shorten the extend end by up to 30 mm, giving a usable forward range of 220-250 mm while retract stays full. A needle-set variable air cushion at both ends soaks up high-speed shock, letting you set the position and control the impact.
The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown. The built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG and 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).

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.
Lowers a 32 kg fixture smoothly, relying on the adjustable lower cushion to prevent end-stroke slamming while the external screw sets the exact drop depth.
Advances pallets into a wrapping station, trimming the forward stop by up to 30 mm to match pallet width variations without re-mounting the cylinder.
The 30 mm extend adjuster and dual air cushions excel in fast set-position moves where you must tune the forward stop and decelerate the load smoothly. It operates at 30-800 mm/s.
The stop screw sets the end position but is not a mid-stroke lock; the air cushion only decelerates near stroke end, and the piston drifts on air loss. For a held load, use an external rod lock or pilot check valve. Mount via LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion (SDB pivot-block is not available), and pair the -S magnet with CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore cylinder has a 1/4" port and M12x1.25 male rod thread.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 30 mm (retract remains full). A needle-set variable air cushion at both ends decelerates the load near stroke end but does not lock the piston. The -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors to be fitted.
