The AirTAC Airtac MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ20X50-30 is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 50mm 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 your forward end position on site with the AirTAC MIJ20X50-30, a round-body stainless steel mini cylinder that lets an external stop nut shorten the extend stroke by up to 30 mm. You get a usable forward range of 20 to 50 mm without changing the part number, while the retract stroke remains full. Built with a riveted stainless barrel and an Ø8 mm rod, it handles mild washdown and corrosion exposure.
At 0.5 MPa this 20 mm bore generates 157 N of push force and 131.9 N of pull, yielding a safe working load around 94 N or a vertical lift of about 8 kg with a 2:1 margin. It conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for easy bracket drops, uses a 1/8" port, and relies on fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate the stroke ends. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors.

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.
Trim the extend stroke by up to 30 mm to set the exact gate angle for sorting different package sizes on a 1/8" ported pneumatic line.
Absorb part variations in a machining fixture by fine-tuning the forward stop, applying the 157 N push force gently against the workpiece.
Adjust the extend end on the fly to push varying carton depths into a sealing station without requiring a separate cylinder for each format.
If your setup needs less push, the smaller MIJ16 bore delivers 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa; stepping up to the MIJ25 provides 245.3 N when you need heavier force. The 30 mm adjustment window on this model is ideal for taking up mechanical tolerances or staging feeds across changeover jobs without swapping hardware. Remember the stop screw only sets the forward end position—it is not a mid-stroke lock, and the piston will drift on air loss, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads. You can use LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion mounts, but SDB pivot blocks are not offered on this adjustable variant.
Quick checklist
This 20 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/8" air port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 157 N and pulls with 131.9 N. At 0.7 MPa the push is 219.8 N and the pull is 184.7 N. 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, giving a usable forward range of 20 to 50 mm, while retract stays full. The screw is not a mid-stroke lock or brake, so the piston will drift if air pressure is lost. This SKU also lacks a magnet, so it cannot take position sensors.
