About the Airtac MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ16X160-30
Trim the forward stroke by up to 30 mm on site with the external stop screw on this AirTAC round-body mini cylinder, dialing in the exact end position without swapping parts. Built with a stainless-steel barrel and rod, it handles mild washdown environments while conforming to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for standard mini brackets.
This double-acting unit uses an M5×0.8 port and a Ø6 mm piston rod with an M6×1.0 male thread. It runs at 30-800 mm/s and relies on fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate the stroke end. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors without the -S option.

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 MIJ16X160-30 Is Used
Tolerance Take-Up Gauging
Dial in the 30 mm extend stop to compensate for part variance during inline thickness checks, applying a safe 60 N contact force without crushing the component.
Changeover Feed Pusher
Shift the extend end position between product families on a packaging line, using the 5.1 kg lift capacity to stage lightweight cartons at varying downstream gates.
Is the Airtac MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ16X160-30 the Right Cylinder?
If your setup needs less push, the Ø12 MIJ bore delivers 56.5 N at 0.5 MPa; stepping up to the Ø20 MIJ provides 157.0 N. The 30 mm adjustment window here is ideal for taking up mechanical tolerances or staging feeds across a 130 to 160 mm extend range. Retract remains full stroke. The stop screw sets the forward 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 to hold a load. Mount via LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion (SDB is unavailable), and select the -S variant if you require 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 MIJ16X160-30 FAQ
The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa, and the air port is M5×0.8.
An external stop screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 30 mm on site; the retract stroke remains full. This screw only sets the end position and does not lock the piston. The cylinder drifts on air loss, and this non-S SKU cannot take magnetic sensors.
