The AirTAC Airtac MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ32X500-100 is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 500mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments.
Dial in a precise forward end position on-site with the AirTAC MIJ32X500-100, a round-body stainless mini cylinder built for double-acting operation. An external stop screw lets you shorten the extend stroke by up to 100 mm, giving you a usable forward travel of 400 to 500 mm without changing the unit. The retract stroke remains fixed at its full length.
This Ø32 bore delivers 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, translating to a safe working load of about 241 N or a 20.5 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The stainless steel barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. It features a 1/8" port, a Ø12 mm rod with an M10x1.25 male thread, and fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate 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 Ø32 bore is a larger, non-ISO-6432 size.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 402 N | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | 484 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 82 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

MI-family variants: MI / MIC (double acting ±cushion), MSI / MTI (single acting push / pull), MID / MICD (double rod ±cushion), MIJ / MICJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / R / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
Pushes packages at varying distances along a belt by trimming the extend stroke up to 100 mm for different lane widths without swapping actuators.
Handles medium-force carton erecting where the forward stop must be fine-tuned on the fly to account for material thickness variations.
Moves totes or bins at 0.5 MPa with a 241 N safe working load, adjusting the reach easily during facility layout changes or product changeovers.
When sizing this unit, compare it against adjacent bores: a smaller Ø25 MIJ provides 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a larger Ø40 MIJ yields 628.3 N. Choose the Ø32 for medium-force tasks where you need on-site tolerance take-up. The external adjuster is perfect for changeover jobs, letting one part number cover several stop distances.
Remember that the stop screw sets the end position but is not a mid-stroke lock; the piston will drift on air loss, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads. Mount via LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion (SDB pivot-block is unavailable). Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder uses a 1/8" port and generates 402.2 N push / 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 563 N push / 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external stop screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 100 mm (usable extend 400-500 mm); retract is always full. The screw is not a mid-stroke lock, so the piston drifts on air loss. This non-S SKU has no magnet for sensors.
