The AirTAC MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ40X160-10S is a genuine double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 160mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments.
Dial in your forward travel precisely on-site with the AirTAC MIJ40X160-10S, a round-body stainless steel mini cylinder featuring a 10 mm external stop screw that shortens the extend stroke from its 160 mm nominal length. Retract remains full, while the forward end position is easily fine-tuned to absorb mechanical tolerances or handle changeovers without swapping hardware.
Built with a riveted stainless-steel barrel and a Ø16 mm piston rod, this unit resists mild corrosion and washdown environments. It uses a 1/4" port and an M12x1.25 male rod thread. Because it is a Ø40 bore, it is a non-ISO-6432 round-body design. The integrated magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors for position feedback.

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. |
| ×160 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -10 | 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.
Shifts a weighted routing gate on a packaging line, using the 10 mm extend stop to fine-tune the gate angle for different carton widths without repositioning the cylinder.
Extends to apply holding pressure on a wrapping film roll, using the stainless build for washdown durability and the stop screw to dial in exact tensioning distance.
There is no larger standard MIJ bore, so for loads exceeding this class, consider a different series entirely. The 10 mm external stop screw is ideal for taking up slack during setup or matching multiple stopping points with a single part number.
Keep in mind the stop screw sets the end position but is not a mid-stroke lock; the piston will drift if air pressure is lost, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for holding loads. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, and TC trunnion (SDB pivot-block is not available on this adjustable variant). Fixed TPU bumper pads decelerate the stroke ends across the 30-800 mm/s speed range.
Quick checklist
The theoretical maximum force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external stop screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 10 mm on-site, allowing forward end-position tuning without changing the cylinder; retract travel remains full. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for use with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
