About the Airtac MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ40X500-10
Dialing in a precise forward end position on-site is effortless with the AirTAC MIJ40X500-10, a round-body stainless steel mini cylinder built for double-acting operation. An external stop screw lets you shorten the extend stroke by up to 10 mm, providing a usable 490-500 mm forward travel to absorb setup tolerances without changing the part number. Retract remains at the full 500 mm, and the screw simply sets the end position rather than acting as a mid-stroke lock.
The riveted stainless barrel and Ø16 mm rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments, making it a robust choice for heavier tooling tasks. This non-ISO-6432 Ø40 mm unit features a 1/4" port, fixed TPU bumper pads, and operates at 30-800 mm/s. Note that this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.

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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø40mm)
| 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).

Where the Airtac MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ40X500-10 Is Used
Pallet Stopper Alignment
Absorb pallet frame tolerances by adjusting the forward stop screw on-site, providing a cushioned 490-500 mm end position to halt large loads securely.
Large Case Forming
Set the exact bottom fold depth for oversized packaging cases, leveraging the 32 kg vertical lift capacity to press heavy cardboard flaps consistently.
Is the Airtac MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ40X500-10 the Right Cylinder?
The 10 mm external stop adjustment is ideal for taking up mechanical tolerances during changeovers, letting one cylinder cover several closely spaced end positions. Because this is a non-ISO-6432 round-body size, ensure your mounting interface matches the available LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion options, noting that the SDB pivot block is not offered on this adjustable variant.
Keep in mind that the MIJ40X500-10 does not hold its load on air loss; the piston will drift if pressure drops, and the TPU bumpers only decelerate the stroke end rather than locking it. For suspended or vertical loads that must remain fixed during a failure, you must integrate an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Additionally, without the -S magnet option, this specific SKU cannot support position sensing.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/R/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check Use correct back cover (CA/U/R/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ40X500-10 FAQ
This Ø40 mm cylinder features a 1/4" port and a male M12x1.25 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 10 mm on-site, allowing fine-tuning of the forward end position while retract remains full. This SKU has no magnet (-S), so it cannot accept CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The stainless build resists mild corrosion, and fixed TPU bumpers decelerate the stroke end.
