The AirTAC MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ40X450-20S is a genuine double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 450mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments.
Dialing in a precise forward end position on-site is effortless with this stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder, thanks to an external stop screw that trims the extend stroke by up to 20 mm (yielding a usable 430-450 mm forward travel). As a double-acting actuator, it delivers substantial power—pushing with 628.3 N and pulling with 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa—while the -S suffix equips the piston with a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensing.
The robust Ø40 mm bore utilizes a 1/4" air port and a male M12x1.25 rod thread to handle heavy loads, offering a safe working capacity of roughly 377 N (about 60% of its 0.5 MPa push force). Built with a riveted stainless barrel and rod, it withstands mild washdown environments. It relies on fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate the stroke end, and because it lacks a mid-stroke lock, you will need an external pilot check valve to hold a load securely against gravity.

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.

| 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.
Shifts large packages on a high-throughput line, using the 20 mm stroke adjustment to fine-tune the gate angle for varying box widths without changing hardware.
Halts loaded pallets at a packaging station, relying on the stainless build for damp environments and adjusting the stop point on-site to match pallet length changes.
The integrated 20 mm adjustability is ideal for taking up mechanical tolerances during setup or covering multiple stop points with a single part number. Remember that the stop screw only shortens the extend stroke; retract remains full length. For mounting, you can utilize LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets, but note that the SDB pivot block is not offered on this adjustable variant. Position sensing is fully supported via CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches because this SKU includes the -S magnet.
Quick checklist
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 20 mm on-site, letting you set the exact forward end position without swapping cylinders; the retract stroke remains full length. The -S suffix means a magnet is built into the piston, allowing direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for position detection.
