The AirTAC Airtac MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ32X500-20S 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.
Dialing in a long forward reach is effortless with this stainless steel round-body mini cylinder, thanks to an external stop screw that trims the extend stroke by up to 20 mm on site. The MIJ32X500-20S operates double-acting with a 500 mm stroke, yielding 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Its riveted stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. Because this is a Ø32 bore, it is a non-ISO-6432 size.
The integrated piston magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for position sensing. With a 1/8" port and a Ø12 mm rod, it delivers a computed safe working load of roughly 241 N, or about 20.5 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. Fixed TPU bumper pads decelerate the stroke ends, operating reliably at speeds from 30 to 800 mm/s.

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 across a wide conveyor belt, using the 20 mm extend adjustment to fine-tune the deflection angle for varying box sizes.
Lifts a staging gate with a safe working load near 241 N, relying on the stop screw to set the exact opening height for clearance.
Extends 500 mm to seat components, trimming the final 20 mm on-site to compensate for stack-up tolerances without reprogramming the machine.
For lighter jobs, stepping down to an MIJ25 bore drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 245.3 N, whereas moving up to an MIJ40 provides 628.3 N for heavier resistance. The 20 mm external adjuster is ideal for taking up mechanical tolerances or matching multiple stop points using one part number. Remember that the stop screw only sets the forward end position; it is not a mid-stroke lock, and the piston will drift on air loss. For holding a suspended load, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve. Mount via LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion (SDB is unavailable), and use CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors since the -S magnet is present.
Quick checklist
It features a 1/8" port and delivers a push of 402.2 N and pull of 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, push is 563 N and pull is 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external screw shortens the forward extend stroke by up to 20 mm, allowing on-site end-position tuning while retract remains full. The -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. Fixed TPU bumpers decelerate the ends; it is not a mid-stroke lock.
