The AirTAC MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ40X160-40S 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 a precise forward end position on-site with the AirTAC MIJ40X160-40S, a round-body stainless mini cylinder featuring a 40mm adjustable extend window. An external stop screw lets you shorten the forward stroke from its 160mm nominal length down to 120mm, absorbing setup tolerances without swapping parts. As a double-acting actuator, it delivers robust thrust while the stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments.
The 1/4" port and M12x1.25 male rod thread ensure solid pneumatic and mechanical connections. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it is fully ready for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensing.

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.

|---|---|
| 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. |

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.
Position large product flows on a conveyor by tuning the extend stroke up to 40mm to match varying package widths without re-engineering the station.
Use the robust 32kg vertical lift capacity to halt pallets at varying staging points, adjusting the stop screw on the fly for different load depths.
When sizing this actuator, consider the next bore down to avoid oversizing. The 40mm external stop screw is invaluable for changeover jobs or taking up mechanical tolerance, letting one part number cover several intermediate stops. Retract remains at the full 160mm, as the adjuster trims the extend end only.
Remember that the stop screw sets the end position but acts purely as a bumper stop, not a mid-stroke lock or brake. The piston will drift if air pressure drops, so install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load-holding. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, and TC trunnion brackets, along with CA, U, R, or CM back covers, but the SDB pivot block is not available on this adjustable variant.
Quick checklist
At 0.7MPa, push is 879.6N and pull is 738.9N. The theoretical maximum force is 128.1kgf at 1.0MPa.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 40mm on-site, giving a usable forward range of 120-160mm; retract remains full stroke. The -S suffix means a piston magnet is built-in for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors, and the stainless construction resists mild corrosion.
