The AirTAC MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ16X15-20S is a genuine double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 15mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments. Its ISO 6432 mounting interface fits standard ISO 6432 mini-cylinder mounting interfaces.
Dial in the exact forward end position on site with the AirTAC MIJ16X15-20S, a double-acting round-body mini cylinder featuring a 20mm extend-stroke adjustment window. An external stop screw lets you shorten the forward travel from the nominal 15mm down to zero without swapping parts, while retract remains full length. The stainless-steel barrel and piston rod supply mild corrosion resistance for washdown environments.
The M5×0.8 port and M6x1.0 male rod thread ensure straightforward integration, and the -S suffix means a piston magnet is included for CMSG, DMSG or 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.
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 86 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 121 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 18 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).

|---|---|
| 16 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×15 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -20 | Adjustable stroke window (mm the extend stroke can be shortened on site). |
| -S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. |
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.
Set a precise forward end position to press a pin to a specific depth, taking up mechanical tolerances with the external screw while operating within the 5.1kg vertical lift margin.
The 20mm external stop screw is ideal for taking up mechanical tolerances during setup or covering several short forward stops with one part number. You can use LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion mounts, but note that the SDB pivot block is not available on this adjustable variant.
The stop screw sets the forward end position only; it is not a mid-stroke lock. This cylinder relies on fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate the stroke end and will drift if air pressure is lost. To hold a load securely during an air loss event, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
The theoretical maximum force is 20.5kgf at 1.0MPa.
An external stop screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 20mm on site, letting you dial in the forward end position; retract travel remains full. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors.
