About the Airtac MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ16X20-20S
Dial in a precise forward end position on-site with the AirTAC MIJ16X20-20S, a round-body stainless steel mini cylinder featuring a 20 mm adjustable extend stroke. An external stop screw lets you shorten the forward travel by up to 20 mm without swapping components, while the retract stroke remains full length. Built with a riveted stainless barrel and rod, it handles mild washdown environments and drops directly into standard ISO 6432 mini-cylinder brackets.
The M5×0.8 port and M6x1.0 male rod thread provide a robust interface for 16 mm assemblies. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches. Fixed TPU bumper pads decelerate the stroke end, operating smoothly at 30-800 mm/s.

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 MIJ16X20-20S Is Used
Sensor Probe Gauging
Use the 20 mm extend adjustment to dial in the exact touch point of a testing probe, accommodating part height variations with a safe 60 N working load.
Staged Parts Diverter
Fine-tune the pusher extension on a packaging line to deflect items of varying widths without changing the cylinder mounting.
Is the Airtac MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ16X20-20S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16 mm bore, stepping down to an MIJ12 drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 56.5 N, whereas stepping up to an MIJ20 raises it to 157.0 N. The 20 mm adjustment window is ideal for taking up mechanical tolerances or staging feeds during changeovers. Choose LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion mounts, noting that the SDB pivot block is unavailable for this adjustable variant.
The external screw sets the extend endpoint but acts purely as a stop, not a mid-stroke lock. The piston will drift if air pressure is lost, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if your application requires strict load holding.
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 MIJ16X20-20S FAQ
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, while retract remains full. The -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. Fixed TPU bumpers absorb the stroke end impact.
