The AirTAC MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ40X40-40S is a genuine double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 40mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments.
Trimming the forward end by up to 40 mm via an external stop screw, this round-body mini cylinder lets you dial in the exact forward position on-site. The retract stroke remains full, meaning one part number covers several forward stops without swapping hardware.
It operates on a 1/4" port and includes a built-in magnet for 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.
| 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.
Positioning a heavy routing gate on a packaging line, using the 40 mm extend adjustment to fine-tune the divert angle for different carton widths without changing the cylinder.
Applying a 628.3 N sealing force to cartons, using the external stop nut to shorten the extend stroke for varying package heights on the fly.
Halting pallets on a washdown roller conveyor, relying on the stainless build for moisture resistance and the adjustable forward stop to set the exact pallet halt point.
If you need more force, there is no larger MIJ bore available. The external adjuster is perfect for taking up mechanical tolerances during setup. Remember that the stop screw sets the end position but is not a mid-stroke lock; the piston will drift on air loss, so use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for holding. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, and TC trunnion (SDB is not available), and the -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/4" port. 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, while the retract stroke remains full. The -S suffix means it has a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. It uses fixed TPU bumper pads, not an adjustable air cushion.
