The AirTAC Airtac JSIJ32~50 Adjustable Cylinder JSIJ40X500-20S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke JIS-standard air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 500mm stroke, G1/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its no-tie-rod, hard-anodized profile barrel is more compact than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore — a space-saver on tight machines.
Generating 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this 40 mm bore JIS profile cylinder cuts a shorter overall length than a same-size ISO 15552 unit while integrating an on-site extend adjuster. The hard-anodized aluminum barrel carries a G1/4 port and a 16 mm rod, and the built-in magnet (-S) accepts CMSE/DMSE sensors in the side grooves.
The external stop screw provides a 20 mm shortening window, letting you fine-tune the extend end position from 480 to 500 mm without swapping the actuator. In practice it handles about 377 N of safe working load, which translates to roughly 32 kg lifted vertically with a 2:1 margin. Remember the air cushion only decelerates the piston; a plain cylinder drifts on air loss, so fit an external rod lock for held loads.

Dial in the exact 480 to 500 mm extend reach of a sorting gate on-site to match varying product widths without machining new mounts.
Lift approximately 32 kg of packaged goods vertically, adjusting the upper stop position by up to 20 mm to perfect the hand-off height.
Keep one cylinder on the shelf for multiple 500 mm stations, using the external adjuster to match slight end-position differences across machines.
When sizing, the 32 mm bore drops to 402 N push at 0.5 MPa while the 50 mm jumps to 982 N, so this 40 mm bore sits right in the middle for moderate drive tasks. The 20 mm adjustable window is ideal for sharing a spare across stroke variants or dialing in a final end position on-site. Mounting options include FA, LB, TC, TCM1, and TCM2. Because the 500 mm stroke is long, always support the load with an external guide to prevent rod bending and side-load wear. The included -S magnet enables CMSE/DMSE position sensing.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore cylinder pushes 628 N and pulls 528 N at 0.5 MPa, or pushes 879 N and pulls 739 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical max of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a G1/4 air port, a 16 mm rod, and adjustable 20.5 mm cushions at both ends.
The nominal 500 mm stroke is the maximum. An external stop screw lets you shorten the extend stroke by up to 20 mm on-site, giving a usable extend range of 480 to 500 mm. The retract end is fixed, and this stop only sets position—it does not lock the load.
