About the Airtac MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ16X160-20
Dial in your forward end position on the fly with the AirTAC MIJ16X160-20, 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 20 mm on-site, yielding a usable forward travel of 140 to 160 mm without swapping parts. Retract travel remains at the full 160 mm. The fixed TPU bumper pads decelerate the piston near the stroke ends.
Constructed with a stainless-steel barrel and Ø6 mm piston rod, this unit handles mild corrosion and washdown environments while conforming to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for standard mini brackets. The M5×0.8 air port and M6x1.0 male rod thread integrate smoothly into existing pneumatic setups.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MI/MIC (ISO 6432) datasheet. Barrel & rod: stainless steel (round-body, riveted construction). Thread options: PT (blank) / G.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø16mm)
| 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).

Where the Airtac MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ16X160-20 Is Used
Staged Feed Positioning
Fine-tune the forward stop on-site to route different sized cartons down a line, using the 140-160 mm travel window to adapt the stroke for each changeover.
Is the Airtac MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ16X160-20 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16 mm bore, moving down to an MIJ12 drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 56.5 N, while stepping up to an MIJ20 raises it to 157.0 N. The 20 mm adjustment window is highly useful for taking up mechanical tolerances or matching multiple part heights during changeovers, letting one cylinder cover several forward stops. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. You can mount it via LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion, but the SDB pivot block is not available on this adjustable-stroke variant.
Keep in mind that the stop screw only sets the extend end position; it is not a mid-stroke lock. The piston will drift if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered. To hold a load securely in place, you must add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve to the system.
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 MIJ16X160-20 FAQ
At 0.7 MPa, push is 140.7 N and pull is 120.9 N. The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external stop screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 20 mm on-site, giving a usable forward travel of 140 to 160 mm, while retract remains at the full 160 mm. Because this specific SKU does not include a magnet (-S), it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The stainless steel construction provides mild corrosion resistance.
