About the Airtac MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ16X20-10
Dial in your forward end position on the fly with the AirTAC MIJ16X20-10, 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 10 mm on site, giving you a usable forward range of 10 to 20 mm without changing the part number. Retract remains at the full 20 mm. The fixed TPU bumper pads decelerate the piston at the stroke ends.
Because the barrel and piston rod are stainless steel, the riveted construction resists mild corrosion and washdown environments. This bore size conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface, dropping directly into standard mini brackets and clevises.

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 MIJ16X20-10 Is Used
Staged Diverter Stops
Act as a retractable stop on a conveyor line, using the on-site stroke adjustment to dial in the exact halt position for different carton widths.
Film Feed Tensioning
Extend to guide packaging film in washdown-prone areas, relying on the stainless build and tuning the forward stop to maintain precise material tracking.
Is the Airtac MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ16X20-10 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, compare it against the adjacent bores: stepping down to a Ø12 MIJ drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 56.5 N, while stepping up to a Ø20 MIJ increases it to 157.0 N. The 10 mm adjustment window is highly useful for taking up mechanical tolerances or setting up staged feeds, allowing one SKU to cover several slightly different stop positions. Mount using LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets, plus CA, U, R, or CM back covers (the SDB pivot block is not offered on this adjustable variant).
Keep in mind that the stop screw sets the end position but does not function as a mid-stroke lock. If air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, the piston will drift and the cylinder cannot hold a load. For suspended or vertical loads requiring fail-safe holding, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Also, because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors; choose the -S version if you need position detection.
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 MIJ16X20-10 FAQ
At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 140.7 N and pull to 120.9 N. The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates at speeds between 30 and 800 mm/s.
An external stop screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 10 mm, allowing you to set the forward end position between 10 and 20 mm; the retract stroke remains the full 20 mm. This SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot be used with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. You would need the -S variant for position sensing.
