The AirTAC MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ40X50-20S is a genuine double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 50mm 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 MIJ40X50-20S, a round-body stainless steel mini cylinder featuring a 20 mm extend-stroke adjustment window. An external stop screw lets you shorten the forward stroke from its 50 mm nominal length down to 30 mm without swapping parts, while the retract stroke remains full. Built with a riveted stainless barrel and piston rod, it handles mild washdown and corrosion exposure. It uses a 1/4" port and a 16 mm rod with an M12x1.25 male thread.
The included magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches. Deceleration is handled by fixed TPU bumper pads, as this variant does not use adjustable air cushions.

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. |
| ×50 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -20 | 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.
Trim the extend stroke on-site to set exact diverting distances for different box sizes on a washdown conveyor without changing the cylinder mounting.
Lift and position roughly 32 kg of tooling or pallets vertically, adjusting the forward reach by up to 20 mm to accommodate stack height variations.
For lighter push requirements, stepping down to the MIJ32 bore drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 402.2 N, whereas this 40 mm bore delivers 628.3 N. There is no larger standard MIJ bore, making this the top force option in the series. The 20 mm adjustment window is ideal for taking up mechanical tolerances during setup or covering several intermediate stops with one part number. The stop screw sets the forward end position but is not a mid-stroke lock; the piston will drift on air loss, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads. Mounting options include LB, FA, and TC styles, but the SDB pivot block is not available on this adjustable variant.
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 20 mm on-site, allowing a usable forward range of 30 to 50 mm; the retract stroke remains full. The -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet for use with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. Fixed TPU bumpers decelerate the stroke ends.
