The AirTAC MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ40X400-50S 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 without swapping hardware using the AirTAC MICJ40X400-50S. This round-body stainless-steel mini cylinder features an external screw that shortens the extend stroke by up to 50 mm on-site, giving you a usable forward range of 350-400 mm while retract remains full. A needle-set adjustable air cushion at both ends soaks up high-speed shock, letting you set the position and control the impact simultaneously.
The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. Because this is a -S model, the built-in piston magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors. Note that the 1/4" port and larger diameter mean this is a non-ISO-6432 round-body unit.

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. |
| ×400 | 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.
Handles robust diverting tasks on a packaging line, relying on the adjustable air cushions to absorb shock during rapid 400 mm strokes and prevent end-cap wear.
Lifts materials up to 32 kg safely, using the built-in magnet and EMSG sensor to confirm gate position while the external stop screw sets the precise open height.
The combination of a 50 mm extend trim and dual air cushions is ideal for fast, repeatable set-position moves where you must tune out end-of-stroke impact.
Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, and TC trunnion, but the SDB pivot-block is not available on this adjustable-stroke variant. The stop screw sets the forward end position but is not a mid-stroke lock; the cylinder will drift on air loss, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you need to hold a suspended load.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/4" port and a 16 mm rod.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 50 mm on-site, giving a usable range of 350-400 mm, while retract remains full. Needle-set adjustable air cushions at both ends decelerate the piston near stroke ends to absorb shock. The -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
