The AirTAC MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ40X15-20 is a genuine double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 15mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments.
Dial in your forward end position on-site with the AirTAC MIJ40X15-20, 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 20 mm, allowing one part number to cover several forward stops without swapping hardware. Retract travel remains at the full 15 mm. Because this is a 40 mm bore, it is a non-ISO-6432 size, delivering substantial push force for a mini format.
The stainless barrel and riveted rod construction resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. Air connects via a 1/4" port, and internal fixed TPU bumper pads decelerate the piston at the stroke ends. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot host position 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).

|---|---|
| 40 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×15 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -20 | Adjustable stroke window (mm the extend stroke can be shortened on site). |
| -S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. |
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.
Fine-tune the extend end position for multi-size pallet handling without changing cylinders, relying on the 1/4" port and bumper pads to manage the 15 mm travel efficiently.
Since this is the largest standard round-body mini size, there is no larger MIJ option. The 20 mm external adjuster is ideal for taking up mechanical tolerances or staging feeds during setup. If your application requires the load to be held vertically on air loss, note that this cylinder will drift; the stop screw sets the end position but is not a mid-stroke lock, so you must add an external rod lock or pilot check valve. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, and TC trunnion (SDB pivot block is not available), and you must select the -S magnet variant if you need CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/4" port and a 16 mm rod.
An external stop screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 20 mm on-site, while retract remains full. This SKU does not have a magnet, so it cannot take CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors; you need the -S variant for sensing. The stop screw is not a mid-stroke lock.
