The AirTAC MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ16X35-20S is a genuine double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 35mm 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 MIJ16X35-20S, a round-body stainless steel mini cylinder featuring a 20 mm extend-stroke adjustment window. By turning the external stop screw, you can shorten the forward stroke anywhere from the nominal 35 mm down to 15 mm, allowing one part number to cover multiple stop distances without swapping hardware. The retract stroke remains full length, and the screw strictly sets the end position rather than acting as a mid-stroke lock.
The M5×0.8 port and M6x1.0 male rod thread facilitate straightforward integration, while the included -S piston magnet enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches for position confirmation.

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.
Set the forward stroke between 15 and 35 mm to deflect lightweight cartons on a line, easily changing the stop distance for different product changeovers.
When sizing this 16 mm bore, compare your thrust requirements both ways: stepping down to an MIJ12 drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 56.5 N, while stepping up to an MIJ20 increases it to 157.0 N. The 20 mm external adjustment is ideal for taking up mechanical tolerances during setup or staging feeds, saving you from machining custom spacers. Remember that the fixed TPU bumper pads decelerate the stroke end but do not lock the rod; if you need to hold a vertical load against air loss, add an external pilot check valve or rod lock. For mounting, you can use standard LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets (the SDB pivot block is not offered on this adjustable variant), and the -S magnet version is required if you intend to use sensors.
Quick checklist
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, and the air port size is M5×0.8.
An external stop screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 20 mm on-site, letting you set the forward end position between 15 and 35 mm; the retract stroke remains fixed. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet, allowing you to mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for position detection.
