About the Airtac MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ16X50-20S
Trimming the forward end by up to 20 mm via an external stop screw, this double-acting round-body mini cylinder lets you dial in the exact extend position from 30 to 50 mm without swapping parts. The retract stroke remains full. Built with a stainless-steel barrel and piston rod, it handles mild washdown environments while conforming to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for standard mini brackets.
The Ø16 bore uses an M5×0.8 port and an M6x1.0 male rod thread. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it is ready for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensing.

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 MIJ16X50-20S Is Used
Transfer Diverter
Set the exact forward stop position to deflect packages of different sizes on a line, relying on the stainless build for mildly humid industrial environments.
Assembly Pin Insertion
Fine-tune the downward extend stroke to seat pins precisely without bottoming out, taking up mechanical tolerances with the integrated stop screw.
Is the Airtac MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ16X50-20S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16 mm bore, dropping down to an MIJ12 reduces 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 adjustment window is highly useful for taking up mechanical tolerances or staggering part ejection during changeovers. The stop screw sets the forward end position only; it is not a mid-stroke lock. If you need to hold a load against air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
You can mount this unit 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 variant. Fixed TPU bumper pads decelerate the stroke ends across the 30-800 mm/s speed range.
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 MIJ16X50-20S FAQ
This 16 mm bore cylinder features an M5×0.8 port and an M6x1.0 male rod thread.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 20 mm on site, giving a usable forward range of 30-50 mm, while retract remains full. The -S suffix means a piston magnet is built-in for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. Fixed TPU bumpers decelerate the ends.
