The AirTAC MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ16X20-20S is a genuine double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 20mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments. Its ISO 6432 mounting interface fits standard ISO 6432 mini-cylinder mounting interfaces.
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.
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|

| 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).

MI-family variants: MI / MIC (double acting ±cushion), MSI / MTI (single acting push / pull), MID / MICD (double rod ±cushion), MIJ / MICJ (double rod, adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / R / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
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.
Fine-tune the pusher extension on a packaging line to deflect items of varying widths without changing the cylinder mounting.
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
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.
