The AirTAC MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ40X160-30 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 end position on-site with the AirTAC MIJ40X160-30, a round-body stainless steel mini cylinder featuring a 30mm extend-stroke adjustment window. The external stop screw lets you trim the forward travel from 160mm down to 130mm, absorbing setup tolerances without swapping hardware. Because this is a double-acting actuator, retract travel remains full length.
Built with a stainless barrel and piston rod, this riveted construction resists mild corrosion and washdown environments. The Ø40mm bore delivers substantial force, pushing 628.3N and pulling 527.8N at 0.5MPa. It uses a 1/4" port 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 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. |
| -30 | 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.
Trim the 160mm extend stroke by up to 30mm to push heavy cartons onto specific takeaway lanes without repositioning the cylinder body.
Leverage the 32kg vertical lift capacity to press varied box sizes, adjusting the forward stop on the controller to prevent crushing.
The 30mm external stop screw is ideal for changeover jobs, letting one part number cover several intermediate stops.
Remember that the stop screw only sets the end position, it is not a mid-stroke lock. The piston will drift on air loss, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for holding vertical loads. Mount via LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion, noting the SDB pivot block is not offered on this adjustable variant. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
Quick checklist
At 0.5MPa it pushes 628.3N and pulls 527.8N. At 0.7MPa it pushes 879.6N and pulls 738.9N. The theoretical maximum force is 128.1kgf at 1.0MPa.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 30mm, but retract remains full. This SKU has no magnet, so it cannot take sensors; you need the -S version for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
