The AirTAC MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ40X225-40 is a genuine double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 225mm 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 MIJ40X225-40, a round-body stainless-steel mini cylinder featuring a double-acting adjustable extend stroke. An external stop screw lets you shorten the forward travel by up to 40 mm, providing a usable extend range of 185 to 225 mm without swapping parts. The retract stroke remains full length, and the fixed TPU bumper pads decelerate the piston at the ends.
This Ø40 bore unit pushes a theoretical maximum of 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Note that this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors; the -S variant is required for position detection. The stop screw sets the end position but is not a mid-stroke lock, meaning the piston will drift if air pressure is lost.

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. |
| ×225 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -40 | Adjustable stroke window (mm the extend stroke can be shortened on site). |

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 225 mm extend stroke by up to 40 mm to dial in the exact contact point for diverting heavy pallets without repositioning the entire cylinder assembly.
Set a precise lower end stop for light pressing tasks, leveraging the 32 kg vertical lift capacity to seat components before the full stroke completes.
Since there is no larger standard MIJ bore, if your application exceeds the 128.1 kgf theoretical maximum, you must switch to a different cylinder family. The 40 mm adjustment window is ideal for taking up mechanical tolerances or staging feeds across changeover jobs.
Remember that the external stop screw only trims the extend end position—it does not function as a brake. If your load must be held vertically during a loss of air pressure, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. For mounting, you can use LB foot, FA flange, or 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
This double-acting cylinder uses a 1/4" port and a Ø16 mm rod with an M12x1.25 male thread. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 879.6 N and pull to 738.9 N. The theoretical maximum force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external stop screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 40 mm on-site, giving a usable forward range of 185 to 225 mm, while retract remains full. This screw sets the end position but is not a mid-stroke lock; the piston will drift on air loss. Additionally, this non-S SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept position sensors.
