The AirTAC MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ40X30-20 is a genuine double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 30mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments.
Dial in the exact forward stop on-site with the AirTAC MICJ40X30-20, a round-body stainless-steel mini cylinder featuring a 20 mm adjustable extend stroke. An external screw trims the extend end position down from the 30 mm nominal stroke, letting you set the precise forward stop without swapping cylinders. A needle-set variable air cushion at both ends soaks up high-speed shock, giving you control over both the final position and the impact deceleration.
The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. It uses a 1/4" air port and a M12x1.25 male rod thread. This non-magnetic SKU cannot take a sensor; adding the -S magnet variant enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. Note that Ø40 is a non-ISO-6432 size.

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. |
| ×30 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -20 | Adjustable stroke window (mm the extend stroke can be shortened on site). |

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.
Delivers 628.3 N to seat small components, using the 20 mm extend stop to dial in the exact crush depth without retooling.
Uses the dual adjustable air cushions to decelerate the 30 mm stroke smoothly at high speed, preventing endcap shock on heavy cartons.
The adjustable stop screw and dual air cushions are ideal for fast, repeatable set-position moves where you must tune out impact shock. The stop screw sets the end position but is not a mid-stroke lock; the piston drifts on air loss, so use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads. Mount via LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion (SDB pivot-block is unavailable), and select the -S version if you need position sensing.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa, push is 879.6 N and pull is 738.9 N. The theoretical max force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a 1/4" air port.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 20 mm, while a needle valve adjusts the air cushion at both ends to absorb high-speed shock. The cushion only decelerates near the end of stroke and does not lock the piston. This SKU lacks a magnet for sensors, and the cylinder will drift on air loss, so use an external rod lock to hold a load.
