About the Airtac MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ16X50-40
Dial in your forward end position on-site with the AirTAC MIJ16X50-40, a double-acting round-body mini cylinder featuring a 40 mm extend-stroke adjustment window. An external stop screw lets you shorten the forward stroke from its 50 mm nominal length down to 10 mm, absorbing setup tolerances without changing the cylinder. Retract remains full stroke. Built with a stainless-steel barrel and piston rod, it handles mild washdown environments while conforming to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for Ø16 bores.
Pneumatic connections use an M5×0.8 port, and the Ø6 rod has an M6x1.0 male thread. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors; fixed TPU bumpers decelerate the stroke ends.

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 MIJ16X50-40 Is Used
Adjustable Stop Gauging
Use the 40 mm extend trim to set precise 10-50 mm forward positions for pushing parts into a test fixture, dialing in the exact reach without machining custom spacers.
Is the Airtac MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ16X50-40 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16 mm bore, dropping down to a 12 mm bore reduces your 0.5 MPa push force to 56.5 N, while stepping up to a 20 mm bore increases it to 157.0 N. The 40 mm external adjuster is invaluable for changeover jobs, letting one part number cover several intermediate stops between 10 mm and 50 mm. Foot (LB), flange (FA), and trunnion (TC) mounts are available, but the SDB pivot block is not offered on this adjustable variant.
Keep in mind the stop screw sets the end position but acts as no mid-stroke lock. If air pressure drops, the piston will drift and cannot hold a load. For vertical or suspended loads requiring fail-safe holding, integrate an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve into your circuit.
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 MIJ16X50-40 FAQ
The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port is M5×0.8 and the male rod thread is M6x1.0.
An external stop screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 40 mm on-site, giving a usable forward range of 10-50 mm; retract remains full. This specific SKU has no magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The -S variant is required for sensing.
