About the Airtac MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ40X500-10S
Dial in a precise forward end position on-site with the AirTAC MIJ40X500-10S, a round-body stainless mini cylinder featuring a 10 mm extend-stroke adjustment window. An external stop screw lets you fine-tune the 500 mm forward travel down to 490 mm, absorbing setup tolerances without changing the cylinder. The retract stroke remains full length. Built with a stainless-steel barrel and Ø16 mm rod, it resists mild corrosion and washdown environments.
It uses a 1/4" port and M12x1.25 male rod thread. The included -S magnet enables position sensing with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. Fixed TPU bumper pads decelerate the stroke ends, operating at speeds of 30-800 mm/s.

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 MIJ40X500-10S Is Used
Pallet Stopper Gate
Halts loaded pallets on a gravity conveyor; the stainless build survives damp environments while the stop screw fine-tunes the blocking height for various pallet thicknesses.
Heavy Box Flap Folder
Folds thick cardboard flaps on large cartons, relying on the 32 kg safe vertical lift capacity and adjusting the forward stroke to prevent crushing the box.
Is the Airtac MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ40X500-10S the Right Cylinder?
If you need more power than the 628.3 N provided here, there is no larger MIJ bore available. The 10 mm external stop screw is ideal for taking up mechanical tolerances during changeovers, letting one part number cover several slightly different forward stops.
Remember that the stop screw sets the 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 foot, FA flange, and TC trunnion (the SDB pivot-block is not available on this adjustable variant). Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you can directly mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
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 MIJ40X500-10S FAQ
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 (usable range 490-500 mm) to dial in the forward position; retract remains full. The -S suffix means it has a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
