About the Airtac MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ16X40-20
Dial in your forward end position on the fly with the AirTAC MIJ16X40-20, a round-body stainless steel mini cylinder that lets an external stop screw shorten the extend stroke by up to 20 mm. Because the retract travel remains full, you get a usable forward range of 20 to 40 mm without swapping parts. Built with a riveted stainless barrel and Ø6 mm rod, it handles mild washdown and corrosion exposure while dropping directly into standard ISO 6432 mini-cylinder brackets.
Pneumatic connections use an M5×0.8 port, and deceleration is handled by fixed TPU bumper pads. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors.

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 MIJ16X40-20 Is Used
Tooling Changeover
Adjust the end position on-site to accommodate different machining fixtures, using one cylinder to cover multiple stroke lengths instead of stocking several SKUs.
Is the Airtac MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ16X40-20 the Right Cylinder?
The integrated adjuster is ideal for taking up mechanical tolerances during setup or covering multiple intermediate stops from a single part number. Just remember the stop screw sets the end position—it is not a mid-stroke lock, and the piston will drift on air loss, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you must hold a suspended load.
For mounting, you can use LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion brackets, plus CA, U, R or CM back covers (the SDB pivot block is not offered on this adjustable variant). If your fixture requires position sensing, select the -S magnet version instead of this base model.
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 MIJ16X40-20 FAQ
This 16 mm bore cylinder uses an M5×0.8 port. 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, but the retract stroke remains full. The screw only sets the forward end position—it is not a mid-stroke lock, and the cylinder will drift on air loss. Additionally, this non-S SKU has no magnet and cannot take sensors.
