The AirTAC MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ40X300-20 is a genuine double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 300mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments.
Shave up to 20 mm off the forward end position on site with the AirTAC MICJ40X300-20, a stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder built for double-acting service. A needle-set variable air cushion at both ends soaks up high-speed shock, letting you dial in the exact impact deceleration while the external stop screw sets the extend stop between 280 and 300 mm.
This non-ISO-6432 unit relies on a riveted stainless barrel and Ø16 mm rod to resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. It runs on a 1/4" port with an M12x1.25 male rod thread, operating between 0.15 and 1.0 MPa at speeds of 30-800 mm/s. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors; specify the -S variant if you need position feedback.

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. |
| ×300 | 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.
Halt advancing pallets at a precise 290 mm forward position, relying on the stainless construction for humid warehouse environments and the cushions to prevent endcap slamming.
Press lightweight lids at 0.5 MPa with a safe 377 N working load, adjusting the extend stroke down 15 mm to accommodate varying container heights without retooling.
When sizing this 40 mm bore, dropping down to the Ø32 mm MICJ cuts the 0.5 MPa push force to 402.2 N, while no larger round-body option exists in this series for heavier loads. The 20 mm extend adjuster shines in fast set-position moves where you need precise forward placement without swapping cylinders, paired with the dual-end cushions to tame the kinetic energy of those high-speed strokes.
Keep in mind the stop screw and air cushions only decelerate near the stroke end—they do not function as a mid-stroke lock or brake. If your load must hold position on air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. For mounting, use LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion brackets, as the SDB pivot-block is not offered on this adjustable variant.
Quick checklist
It uses a 1/4" air port and an M12x1.25 male rod thread.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 20 mm (usable range 280-300 mm), while needle valves adjust the variable air cushion at both ends to decelerate high-speed impacts. The cylinder does not hold position on air loss and the cushion is not a brake; use an external rod lock for holding. This non-magnet SKU cannot take sensors, but the -S variant supports CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
