The AirTAC MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ40X400-30S 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 a precise forward end position on-site with the AirTAC MIJ40X400-30S, a round-body stainless mini cylinder featuring a 30 mm extend-stroke adjustment window. An external stop screw lets you shorten the forward stroke from its 400 mm nominal maximum down to 370 mm, allowing one part number to cover several stop distances without swapping hardware. Retract remains at the full stroke length.
Built with a stainless-steel barrel and Ø16 mm piston rod, this double-acting actuator resists mild corrosion and handles washdown environments. The -S suffix equips the piston with a magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors, and the 1/4" port supplies ample air volume for the bore.

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. |
| -30 | 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.
Position heavy package routing gates on a high-speed line, using the 30 mm adjuster to fine-tune the diversion angle for different carton widths without changing actuators.
Fold oversized carton flaps during case erecting, dialing in the exact 370 to 400 mm forward position to prevent crushing while handling thick corrugated materials.
The 30 mm adjuster is ideal for taking up mechanical tolerances during setup or staging feeds. Mount via LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion, as the SDB pivot block is unavailable for this adjustable variant.
Note that the external stop screw sets the end position but acts purely as a physical stop. It is not a mid-stroke lock, and the fixed TPU bumper pads only decelerate the piston near the stroke end. The cylinder will drift on air loss, so specify an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you need to hold a suspended load.
Quick checklist
The theoretical maximum force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 30 mm, setting the forward end position without affecting the full retract stroke. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for use with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
