About the Airtac MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ16X50-10
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.
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 MIJ16X50-10 Is Used
Tolerance Take-Up Gauging
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.
Staged Feed Positioning
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.
Light Press Assembly
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.
Is the Airtac MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ16X50-10 the Right Cylinder?
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
- ✓ 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 MIJ16X50-10 FAQ
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.
