The AirTAC Airtac MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ20X120-30S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 120mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments. Its ISO 6432 mounting interface makes it a compact drop-in for standard mini-cylinder fixtures.
Dial in a precise forward end position on-site with the AirTAC MIJ20X120-30S, a round-body stainless steel mini cylinder featuring a 30 mm extend-stroke adjustment window. An external stop screw lets you shorten the forward stroke from 120 mm down to 90 mm, absorbing setup tolerances without changing the cylinder. Retract remains full length. Built with a riveted stainless barrel and rod, it handles mild washdowns and corrosion risks.
This double-acting ISO 6432 unit delivers 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, yielding a safe working load of about 94 N or a 2:1 vertical lift capacity near 8 kg. The 1/8" port and M8x1.25 male rod thread drop into standard mini brackets. Because this SKU carries the -S suffix, a built-in piston magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for position sensing.

| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 32 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

MI-family variants: MI / MIC (double acting ±cushion), MSI / MTI (single acting push / pull), MID / MICD (double rod ±cushion), MIJ / MICJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / R / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
Use the 30 mm extend stop to push varied carton sizes onto a belt at different points, leveraging the 157 N push force without swapping actuators.
Fine-tune the forward stroke down to 90 mm to press caps on different bottle heights, using the safe 94 N working load to avoid crushing containers.
Pair the -S magnet with a DMSG switch to confirm clamp positions, dialing in the end stop to secure parts gently during machining changeovers.
When sizing this 20 mm bore, step down to the MIJ16 (100.5 N push @0.5 MPa) for lighter loads, or up to the MIJ25 (245.3 N push @0.5 MPa) if you need more thrust. The 30 mm external adjuster is ideal for changeover jobs where one part number must cover several stopping points. Mount using LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets—note that SDB pivot blocks are not offered on this adjustable variant.
Remember that the stop screw only trims the extend end point; it is not a mid-stroke lock. The fixed TPU bumper pads decelerate the stroke end, but the piston will drift on air loss. For suspended loads, specify an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
Quick checklist
This 20 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. At 0.5 MPa it provides 157 N push and 131.9 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it yields 219.8 N push and 184.7 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external stop screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 30 mm on-site, setting the forward end position without affecting the full retract. The -S suffix means a piston magnet is built-in for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The screw is not a mid-stroke lock.
