The AirTAC MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ40X30-30S 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.
Shave up to 30 mm off the extend end on site with the AirTAC MICJ40X30-30S, a double-acting round-body mini cylinder that pairs an external stop screw with a needle-adjustable air cushion at both ends. You set the exact forward stop without swapping hardware, then dial in the cushion to soak up high-speed impact. The Ø40 mm bore runs on a 1/4" port and a Ø16 mm rod with an M12x1.25 male thread, pushing 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa. The stainless-steel barrel and rod shrug off mild corrosion and washdown.
This variant ships with a built-in magnet (-S) for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. It operates at 30-800 mm/s and tolerates pressures up to 1.0 MPa, though the cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end—it will not lock or hold the load mid-travel.

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.
Drive a 32 kg fixture forward at speed, using the 30 mm extend adjustment to dial in the exact clamp position without machining spacers.
Push thick corrugated blanks into place on a washdown line, relying on the stainless rod and barrel to resist moisture and cleaning chemicals.
This Ø40 model is the right pick when you need to drive a heavy load quickly and fine-tune the landing. The external screw trims the extend stroke by up to 30 mm, while the dual air cushions prevent endcap slamming at high speeds. Because it lacks an SDB pivot block, use LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion mounts, plus CA, U, R, or CM back covers. The -S magnet enables position sensing with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. Remember that the stop screw sets the end position but does not act as a mid-stroke lock; if you need to hold a load vertically during air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder uses a 1/4" port and a Ø16 mm rod. The theoretical maximum force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 30 mm, and a needle valve adjusts the air cushion at both ends to decelerate the piston before impact. The -S suffix means it has a magnet for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The cushion and stop screw do not lock the piston; for vertical load holding on air loss, use an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
