The AirTAC MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ40X400-100S is a genuine double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 400mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments.
Dial in a precise forward stop on-site with this stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder, which trims the extend stroke by up to 100 mm via an external screw. The MICJ40X400-100S is a double-acting actuator featuring a variable air cushion at both ends to absorb high-speed shock, while the built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors for position feedback.
The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments.

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.
Pushes heavy cartons at high speed on a packaging line, using the 100 mm extend adjustment to dial in the exact push distance while the air cushion absorbs the impact at the end of the 400 mm stroke.
There is no larger MICJ option. Choose this adjustable-stroke variant when you need to fine-tune the forward end position without swapping cylinders, pairing that set-position control with the adjustable air cushion for fast, high-impact moves.
The external stop screw and cushion only decelerate the piston near the stroke end; they do not lock or hold the load mid-stroke. If air pressure drops, the piston will drift, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for suspended loads. Mount using LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion (SDB is not offered on this variant), and rely on the -S magnet for electronic or reed switch sensing.
Quick checklist
At 0.7 MPa, push is 879.6 N and pull is 738.9 N. The theoretical maximum force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 100 mm (usable range 300-400 mm), while the needle-set air cushion at both ends decelerates the piston near the ends to absorb high-speed shock. The -S magnet enables CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The stop screw and cushion do not lock or hold the load mid-stroke; if air is lost, the piston drifts, so use an external rod lock for suspended loads.
