About the Airtac MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ16X160-40
Dial in your forward end position on-site with the AirTAC MIJ16X160-40, a double-acting round-body mini cylinder featuring a 40 mm external adjustment window. An integrated stop screw trims the extend stroke down from the 160 mm nominal maximum to as little as 120 mm, letting one part number cover several stops without swapping hardware. Retract remains a full 160 mm. Built with a stainless-steel barrel and Ø6 mm piston rod, it handles mild washdown and corrosion exposure.
This riveted construction cylinder conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for easy bracket and clevis integration. It relies on fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate the stroke end. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot accept 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.
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 MIJ16X160-40 Is Used
Adjustable Stroke Diverter
Tune the forward stop on the fly for mixed-product conveyor lines, dialing the extend stroke between 120 and 160 mm to divert varying package sizes without changing cylinders.
Staged Parts Ejection
Sequence the ejection of light 5 kg fixtures from a machining cell, relying on the external screw to set precise ejection distances while the stainless rod resists coolant mist.
Is the Airtac MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ16X160-40 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16 mm bore, compare it against adjacent options. The MIJ16X160-40 is ideal when you need the 100.5 N baseline push but have unknown final stop tolerances, as the 40 mm extend adjuster absorbs mechanical setup variations. Remember that the stop screw sets the end position but is not a mid-stroke lock. The piston will drift on air loss, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads. Mount via LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion (SDB pivot-block is unavailable on this adjustable variant).
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 MIJ16X160-40 FAQ
This 16 mm bore cylinder features an M5×0.8 port and an M6x1.0 male rod thread. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 140.7 N and pulls 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 40 mm on-site, giving a usable forward range of 120-160 mm; retract remains the full 160 mm. This SKU does not have a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. You would need the -S variant for position sensing.
