The AirTAC MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ40X20-10S is a genuine double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 20mm 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 MIJ40X20-10S, a round-body stainless mini cylinder featuring a 10 mm external adjustment screw that shortens the extend stroke from its 20 mm nominal maximum. Because the adjuster trims only the forward end, you gain setup flexibility and tolerance take-up across changeover jobs without swapping parts. Retract travel remains full length. The built-in piston magnet (-S) directly supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for electronic or reed position sensing.
Constructed with a riveted stainless-steel barrel and a Ø16 mm piston rod, this double-acting unit resists mild corrosion and washdown environments while delivering substantial force. It operates at 30-800 mm/s, relies on fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate the stroke end, and uses a 1/4" port with an M12x1.25 male rod thread.

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).

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.
Apply 628.3 N of clamping force at 0.5 MPa and use the 10 mm stop screw to dial in the exact material thickness, preventing over-travel on varying workpieces.
Actuate a routing gate on a washdown line; the stainless build resists moisture while the adjustable forward stop accommodates different package widths on the fly.
Since there is no larger standard MIJ bore, verify that 879.6 N at 0.7 MPa covers your peak requirement. The 10 mm external stop screw is ideal for fine-tuning the extend position during initial setup or absorbing mechanical tolerances, but remember it only sets the end stop. It is not a mid-stroke lock, and the cylinder will drift on air loss, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you need to hold a suspended load.
For mounting, you can utilize LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets, along with CA, U, R, or CM back covers. The SDB pivot block is not available on this adjustable-stroke variant. The included -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors, allowing you to confirm piston arrival at the adjusted forward position.
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, giving you a usable forward range of 10-20 mm while retract remains full stroke. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors; the unit uses fixed TPU bumper pads, not an adjustable air cushion.
