The AirTAC MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ40X50-40S 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 MIJ40X50-40S, a round-body stainless mini cylinder featuring an adjustable extend stroke. An external stop screw lets you shorten the forward movement by up to 40 mm, providing a usable extend range of 10-50 mm without swapping components. Because it carries the -S suffix, a built-in piston magnet enables position sensing with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
Built with a riveted stainless-steel barrel and a Ø16 mm rod, this double-acting actuator resists mild corrosion and handles washdown environments.

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. |

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.
The 40 mm extend adjustment lets operators dial in the exact clamp depth on the fly without changing tooling.
Use the on-site stop screw to set multiple extend positions for routing different carton sizes. The stainless build withstands washdown, and the -S magnet tracks gate location via sensors.
Fine-tune the raise height within the 10-50 mm window to match varying shelf clearances precisely.
When sizing this 40 mm bore, compare it directly against the adjacent MIJ32 option. The 40 mm adjustment window is ideal for taking up mechanical tolerances during changeovers, letting one part number cover several intermediate stops.
Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, and TC trunnion brackets, but note that the SDB pivot block is not available on this adjustable variant. Keep in mind that the external stop screw sets the end position but acts purely as a bumper stop, not a mid-stroke lock. The piston will drift if air pressure is lost, so install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if you need to hold a suspended load safely.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/4" air port and an M12x1.25 male rod thread. 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, giving a usable forward range of 10-50 mm, while retract 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 for end deceleration, not an adjustable air cushion.
