The AirTAC MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ40X40-30S 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.
Trim the forward stop by up to 30 mm on site without swapping cylinders, and let the needle-set air cushions soak up high-speed shock at both ends. The MICJ40X40-30S is a double-acting, round-body stainless-steel mini cylinder built for exact positioning and heavy miniature loads. The external screw shortens the extend end only, while retract remains full. A built-in magnet (-S) enables CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors for precise end-of-stroke detection.
The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. It features a 1/4" port, a Ø16 mm piston rod, and an M12x1.25 male rod thread, operating at speeds from 30 to 800 mm/s.

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. |
| ×40 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -30 | 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.
Halt incoming pallets weighing up to 32 kg on a vertical lift, using the adjustable forward stop to tune the gate position precisely on site.
Raise and lower material handling gates in washdown zones, benefiting from the stainless construction and dual air cushions for fast 800 mm/s cycling.
As the largest bore, the MICJ40 delivers maximum miniature force with no larger MICJ size available. The adjustable extend stop and dual air cushions are ideal for fast, repetitive moves where you must dial in a specific forward position and control impact shock without custom machining.
This cylinder does not hold position on air loss; the piston drifts, and the cushion only decelerates near the end of the stroke. For suspended loads, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve. Mount using LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets, plus CA, U, R, or CM back covers. The SDB pivot block is not available on this adjustable variant. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you can directly mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
Quick checklist
The theoretical maximum force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This Ø40 bore uses a 1/4" air port and a Ø16 mm rod with an M12x1.25 male thread.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 30 mm on site, giving a usable extend range of 10 to 40 mm, while retract remains full. Needle-set air cushions at both ends decelerate the piston near stroke ends to absorb high-speed shock. The cylinder does not hold position on air loss; use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for suspended loads.
