The AirTAC MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ40X50-50S is a genuine double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 50mm 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 hardware: this round-body stainless mini cylinder uses an external screw to shorten the extend stroke by up to 50 mm, paired with a needle-set air cushion at both ends to soak up high-speed shock. The stainless-steel barrel and Ø16 mm piston rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments.
Because the -S suffix equips the piston with a magnet, you can mount CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors for position detection. The adjustable stop sets the end position but is not a mid-stroke lock; the air cushion only decelerates near the stroke end.

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.
Shifts a robust sorting gate on a packaging line, using the 50 mm extend adjustment to fine-tune the deflection angle while the dual cushions absorb the high-speed impact of heavy product flow.
Raises a 30 kg tote in a compact handling cell; the operator sets the exact lift height via the extend screw, and the cushions prevent end-of-stroke slamming on the descent.
Closes a fluid-fill valve in a food-grade environment where the stainless build resists moisture, tuning the extend stop to seal precisely without crushing the container.
The external stop screw and dual cushions shine in fast set-position moves where you must tune the extend end and control impact without changing the cylinder. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold its load on air loss—the piston drifts; use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads.
Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange and TC trunnion, but the SDB pivot-block is not available on this adjustable variant. Back covers CA, U, R and CM are offered. The built-in magnet (-S) enables reed or electronic sensors, whereas a non-S SKU cannot take a sensor.
Quick checklist
The theoretical maximum force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 50 mm on-site, 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 is not a mid-stroke lock, and the cylinder will drift on air loss, so use an external rod lock for holding loads.
