The AirTAC MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ40X40-20S is a genuine double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 40mm 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 AirTAC MICJ40X40-20S uses an external screw to shorten the extend end position by up to 20 mm, giving a usable forward range of 20-40 mm. Retract remains full, and the double-acting stainless steel round-body construction resists mild corrosion and washdown environments.
This Ø40 mm round-body mini cylinder pairs that settable stroke with an adjustable air cushion at both ends to soak up high-speed shock. The built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors, and the 1/4" port handles the air volume needed for its 30-800 mm/s speed range.

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.

|---|---|
| 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.
Act as an adjustable pallet stop where the dual air cushions absorb the shock of fast incoming loads and the external screw fine-tunes the contact position.
Choose this model when you need fast set-position moves where the 20 mm extend trim and dual needle cushions prevent end-impact. Note that the stop screw sets the end position but is not a mid-stroke lock; the cylinder drifts on air loss, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended load.
Mounting uses LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion (SDB pivot-block is not available on this adjustable variant). Back covers include CA, U, R and CM. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you can fit CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches for position sensing.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 628.3 N and pulls 527.8 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 879.6 N and pulls 738.9 N. The theoretical max force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This Ø40 bore uses a 1/4" port.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 20 mm on-site, while the retract stroke remains full. Needle-set adjustable air cushions at both ends decelerate the piston near the ends to absorb high-speed shock. This SKU includes a magnet (-S) for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors.
