About the Airtac MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ16X50-30
Dial in your forward end position on-site with the AirTAC MIJ16X50-30, 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 30 mm, providing a usable forward range of 20 to 50 mm without swapping parts. The retract stroke remains full length. This riveted construction uses a stainless barrel and rod to resist mild corrosion and washdown environments.
The unit ports via M5×0.8 threads, runs at 30-800 mm/s, and relies on fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate the stroke end. Note this 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 MIJ16X50-30 Is Used
Tolerance Take-Up Jigs
Trim the extend stroke by up to 30 mm to absorb part variances in machining fixtures, delivering a consistent 60 N clamping force without re-engineering the mount.
Light Assembly Pressing
Set the exact forward stop for pressing small bearings, safely moving about 5.1 kg of vertical load while relying on fixed TPU bumpers to soften the impact.
Is the Airtac MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ16X50-30 the Right Cylinder?
The 30 mm adjustment window is invaluable for taking up mechanical tolerances during setup or covering multiple stop positions with a single part number. You can select LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion mounts, plus CA, U, R, or CM back covers, but the SDB pivot block is not available on this adjustable variant.
Remember that the stop screw only sets the forward end position; it is not a mid-stroke lock. The piston will drift if air pressure drops, as the bumper pads only decelerate the stroke end rather than holding the load. To maintain position on air loss, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
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 MIJ16X50-30 FAQ
This double-acting cylinder uses an M5×0.8 port and a Ø6 mm rod. The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external stop screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 30 mm on-site, allowing a usable range of 20-50 mm, while retract remains full. This specific SKU has no magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors; you would need the -S variant for sensing.
