The AirTAC MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ16X50-10 is a genuine double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 50mm 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 MIJ16X50-10, 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 10 mm, giving you a usable forward travel of 40 to 50 mm without swapping parts. The retract stroke remains fixed at its full length. This bore features a 6 mm piston rod, an M6x1.0 male rod thread, and an M5×0.8 air port.
The stainless barrel and rod provide mild corrosion resistance for washdown or humid settings. It conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for standard mini brackets. This non-magnet SKU cannot host position sensors; you must select the -S variant to use CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.

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) |

| 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 10 mm extend adjustment to compensate for part variance in a 60 N clamping fixture, ensuring the forward stop hits the exact target every time.
Trim the forward stroke on-site to dial in the exact push distance for diverting lightweight 5 kg cartons without re-engineering the cylinder mount.
Leverage the 100.5 N extend force to seat small bearings, relying on the external stop nut to fine-tune the 40-50 mm travel for delicate stops.
When sizing this unit, consider the 10 mm adjustment window for taking up mechanical tolerances or staging feeds. If you need more muscle, the MIJ20X50 raises the push force to 157 N.
Remember that the stop screw sets the end position but acts purely as a mechanical stop, not a mid-stroke lock. The piston will drift if air pressure drops, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads. Mount using LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets, plus CA, U, R, or CM back covers. Note that the SDB pivot block is not available on this adjustable-stroke series.
Quick checklist
The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port is M5×0.8.
An external stop screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 10 mm on-site, while retract remains full. This SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors; you need the -S variant for position sensing.
