Airtac MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ20X160-10S
The AirTAC Airtac MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ20X160-10S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 160mm 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.

About the Airtac MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ20X160-10S
Dial in a precise forward end position on-site with the AirTAC MIJ20X160-10S, a round-body stainless steel mini cylinder featuring a 10 mm external stop screw that shortens the extend stroke from its 160 mm nominal maximum. The adjuster trims only the forward end; retract remains a full stroke. Built with a stainless barrel and Ø8 mm piston rod, it handles mild washdown environments while conforming to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for standard mini brackets.
Operating at 0.15-1.0 MPa via a 1/8" port, this double-acting actuator delivers 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. For practical sizing, that translates to a safe working load of roughly 94 N, or a vertical lift capacity of about 8 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Fixed TPU bumper pads decelerate the piston near the stroke ends, and the -S suffix equips the piston with a magnet for direct CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor mounting.

Where the Airtac MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ20X160-10S Is Used
Package Diverter Stop
Fine-tune the 10 mm extend stop to act as a precise physical barrier for varying carton widths on a conveyor, using the 157 N push force to halt boxes securely without overshooting.
Tooling Changeover Pin
Set the exact forward position of a locating pin during automated fixture changeovers, relying on the 8 kg vertical lift capacity to position lighter tooling components accurately.
Fill Head Positioning
Adjust the extend end downward to accommodate different bottle heights on a filling line, dialing in the 160 mm stroke precisely without changing the cylinder's physical mounting.
Is the Airtac MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ20X160-10S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 20 mm bore, compare it directly with adjacent options: a smaller MIJ16 yields 100.5 N push @0.5 MPa, while stepping up to an MIJ25 provides 245.3 N. The integrated 10 mm stop screw is invaluable for taking up mechanical tolerances during setup or covering several slightly different forward stops with a single part number, eliminating the need to swap cylinders for minor position changes. Keep in mind the stop screw sets the end position but does not function as a mid-stroke lock; the piston will drift on air loss, so apply an external rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, and TC trunnion, plus CA, U, R, or CM back covers (SDB pivot-block is not available on this adjustable variant).
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 MIJ20X160-10S FAQ
This 20 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. It generates 157 N push and 131.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 219.8 N push and 184.7 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external stop screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 10 mm on-site, allowing you to set the forward end position between 150 mm and 160 mm; the retract stroke remains full length. The -S suffix means a piston magnet is built-in, enabling direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for position detection.
