About the Airtac MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ16X20-20
Dial in a precise forward end position on-site with the AirTAC MIJ16X20-20, a double-acting round-body mini cylinder featuring a 20 mm extend-stroke adjustment window. An external stop screw lets you shorten the forward stroke by up to 20 mm without swapping parts, while the retract stroke remains full. The stainless-steel barrel and piston rod supply mild corrosion resistance for washdown or humid settings.
Built to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for standard mini brackets, this Ø16 bore unit pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa. It uses an M5×0.8 port, a Ø6 rod with an M6x1.0 male thread, and fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate the stroke ends.

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 MIJ16X20-20 Is Used
Changeover Diverter
Quickly reposition a 5.1 kg vertical lift stop on a packaging line by turning the external screw, adapting the stroke to different carton sizes on the fly.
Is the Airtac MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ16X20-20 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this bore, stepping down to a Ø12 MIJ drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 56.5 N, while stepping up to a Ø20 MIJ raises it to 157.0 N. The 20 mm external adjuster is ideal for taking up mechanical tolerances or matching multiple stop points in a changeover job using one part number. Note that the stop screw sets the 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 suspended load.
This SKU ships without a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors—order the -S variant if you need position detection. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, and TC trunnion brackets, plus CA, U, R, and CM back covers. The SDB pivot block is not available on this adjustable-stroke type.
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 MIJ16X20-20 FAQ
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 max 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 20 mm on-site; the retract stroke remains full. The screw only sets the end position—it is not a mid-stroke lock, so the piston drifts on air loss. This non-S SKU also lacks a magnet for sensors.
