The AirTAC MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ16X225-20 is a genuine double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 225mm 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 without swapping hardware using the AirTAC MIJ16X225-20, 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 20 mm on site, yielding a usable forward travel of 205 to 225 mm while retract remains full.
Conforming to the ISO 6432 mounting interface, this 16 mm bore unit drops directly into standard mini brackets and clevises. Fixed TPU bumper pads decelerate the stroke end across the 30-800 mm/s speed range. Note this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors without upgrading to the -S variant.

| 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.
Absorb fixture machining variances on the fly. The external screw lets you set the precise 205-225 mm forward clamp position for a 6 kg workpiece without machining new stops.
Push lightweight components out of a chute at 0.5 MPa. The on-site adjustability allows operators to shift the discharge point for different carton sizes in seconds.
The integrated adjuster is invaluable for taking up mechanical tolerances or covering multiple stop points in a changeover fixture with one part number. Remember the stop screw only trims the extend end; it is not a mid-stroke lock. Because a standard cylinder drifts on air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must be held. Mounting choices include LB foot, FA flange and TC trunnion (SDB is unavailable here), with back covers CA, U, R or CM.
Quick checklist
This 16 mm bore cylinder features an M5×0.8 port and a Ø6 mm rod. 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 (usable forward travel 205-225 mm); retract remains full. This screw sets the end position but is not a mid-stroke lock. The cylinder will drift on air loss, so use an external rod lock for holding. This non-S SKU also lacks a magnet for sensors.
