The AirTAC MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ40X400-100S is a genuine double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 400mm 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 MIJ40X400-100S, a round-body stainless mini cylinder featuring a 100 mm extend-stroke adjustment window. Rather than stocking multiple stroke lengths to handle setup variations or tolerance take-up, this double-acting unit lets you trim the forward travel anywhere between 300 and 400 mm via an external stop screw while maintaining full retract. The screw sets the end position but is not a mid-stroke lock.
It uses a 1/4" port, includes a magnet for position sensing, and relies on fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate the stroke end.

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. |
| ×400 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -100 | Adjustable stroke window (mm the extend stroke can be shortened on site). |
| -S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. |
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.
Handle changeovers on a packaging line by using the 100 mm extend adjustment to push different carton sizes to a sealing station without swapping cylinders.
Act as a heavy-duty physical stop for pallets up to 32 kg, tweaking the forward stop position on the fly to accommodate varying load depths.
Secure heavy machined components by fine-tuning the extend end position to absorb part tolerances, ensuring consistent clamping without over-stroking.
When sizing this Ø40 mm bore, check your force margins carefully. However, if you need to move heavier loads approaching the 628.3 N range, this Ø40 mm is the largest available in the series, so you would need to explore external tandem configurations for more power. The 100 mm adjustable stop is ideal for machines running mixed product sizes, letting one cylinder handle multiple staged feed distances.
Because the -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet, this SKU is fully ready for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches. For mounting, you can utilize LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets, but note the SDB pivot-block is not offered on this adjustable variant. Remember that a standard pneumatic cylinder drifts on air loss; if your load must be held vertically during an emergency stop, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
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 100 mm, allowing you to set the forward end position between 300 and 400 mm; the retract stroke remains full. The -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, and the stainless build resists mild corrosion.
