The AirTAC MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ40X80-40S is a genuine double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 80mm 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 the AirTAC MICJ40X80-40S, a round-body stainless steel mini cylinder that shortens the extend stroke by up to 40 mm via an external screw. The usable extend range becomes 40 to 80 mm, while retract remains full. An adjustable air cushion at both ends soaks up high-speed shock, letting you set the position and control the impact simultaneously.
Built with a stainless barrel and rod for mild washdown resistance, this double-acting Ø40 mm unit pushes with 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa. It features a 1/4" port, an M12x1.25 male rod thread, and a built-in magnet (-S) for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.

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).

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 32 kg cartons on a sorting line, using the 40 mm extend trim to dial in the exact pusher distance without swapping hardware.
Halts loaded pallets on a conveyor, adjusting the stop screw on-site to accommodate varying pallet depths while absorbing kinetic energy.
For lighter push needs, the smaller Ø32 bore delivers 402.2 N at 0.5 MPa; if you need more force, there is no larger MICJ bore. This Ø40 model is ideal when you need fast, settable-position moves and want to tune out end-of-stroke shock. The external screw sets the forward end position but is not a mid-stroke lock.
Because a plain cylinder drifts on air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended load. Mount using LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion (SDB is unavailable on this variant). Choose CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches to leverage the included -S magnet.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder has a 1/4" port and an M12x1.25 male rod thread. The theoretical maximum force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 40 mm, giving a usable forward range of 40-80 mm; retract is always full. Needle-set air cushions at both ends decelerate the piston near stroke end to absorb shock. The cushion only decelerates and is not a brake; the piston will drift on air loss, so use an external rod lock to hold a load. The -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors.
