The AirTAC MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ40X30-20 is a genuine double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 30mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments.
Trimming the forward end by up to 20 mm on-site, this double-acting round-body mini cylinder lets you dial in the exact extend position from 10 to 30 mm without swapping parts. The external stop screw shortens the extend stroke only, while retract remains full. Built with a stainless-steel barrel and piston rod, it handles mild corrosion and washdown environments. It features a 1/4" port, a Ø16 mm rod, and an M12x1.25 male rod thread.
Fixed TPU bumper pads decelerate the stroke end, operating at speeds of 30-800 mm/s.

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.
Adjust the forward stop on-site to handle different package widths on a washdown line, relying on the stainless construction and fixed TPU bumpers to absorb the impact at the end of travel.
Set the exact extend position to push heavy items off a staging area, using the 1/4" port and double-acting power to move loads safely within the 377 N working load limit.
The 20 mm adjustment window is ideal for taking up mechanical tolerances during setup or covering several stop positions with one part number. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. You can mount it using LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets, plus CA, U, R, or CM back covers, but SDB pivot blocks are not available for this adjustable type.
The stop screw sets the forward end position but is not a mid-stroke lock. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss, and the bumpers only soften the stroke end. To hold a suspended load securely, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
The theoretical maximum force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This 40 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/4" air port and a Ø16 mm rod with an M12x1.25 male thread.
An external stop screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 20 mm, allowing you to set the forward end position between 10 and 30 mm; the retract stroke remains full. This specific SKU does not have a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The stop screw is an end-position adjuster, not a mid-stroke lock.
