About the Airtac MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ16X40-40S
Dial in a precise forward end position on-site with the AirTAC MIJ16X40-40S, a round-body stainless steel mini cylinder built for double-acting operation. An external stop screw lets you shorten the extend stroke by up to 40mm, allowing one part number to cover multiple forward stops without swapping hardware. Retract remains at the full stroke length.
The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. Conforming to the ISO 6432 mounting interface, it drops into standard mini brackets, features an M5×0.8 port, and includes a piston 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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø16mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 86 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 121 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 18 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).

Where the Airtac MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ16X40-40S Is Used
Tolerance Take-Up Gauging
Trim the extend stroke up to 40mm to compensate for part variance in a 60N safe-load gauging station, ensuring the contact point meets the workpiece perfectly.
Adjustable Feed Stop
Set a precise forward end position for staging lightweight 5kg components, changing the stop distance on the fly without replacing the cylinder.
Is the Airtac MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ16X40-40S the Right Cylinder?
The 40mm adjustment window is ideal for taking up mechanical tolerances during setup or staging feeds. Fixed TPU bumper pads decelerate the stroke end, operating between 30-800mm/s.
This cylinder does not hold position on air loss; the piston drifts, so use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for suspended loads. Mount via LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion (SDB pivot-block is unavailable on this adjustable variant). Choose CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches to leverage the installed -S magnet.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/R/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check Use correct back cover (CA/U/R/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ16X40-40S FAQ
The theoretical maximum force is 20.5kgf at 1.0MPa. This Ø16 bore uses an M5×0.8 air port and a Ø6mm piston rod with an M6x1.0 male thread.
The external stop screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 40mm on-site; retract remains full. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The stainless build resists mild corrosion, and the screw sets the end position but is not a mid-stroke lock.
