The AirTAC Airtac MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ20X50-50S 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 a precise forward end position on-site with the AirTAC MIJ20X50-50S, a round-body stainless steel mini cylinder that lets an external stop screw shorten the extend stroke by up to 50 mm. Because the retract travel remains full, you get flexible forward positioning without swapping hardware. The stainless barrel and rod shrug off mild washdowns, and the built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for end-of-stroke sensing.
This double-acting ISO 6432 unit delivers 157 N of push force and 131.9 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, yielding a safe working load around 94 N. That translates to a vertical lift capacity of roughly 8 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. It uses a 1/8" port, runs at 30-800 mm/s, and relies on fixed TPU bumper pads to decelerate the stroke end.

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.
Fine-tune the extend stop up to 50 mm to reposition a diverter flap for different carton sizes on a packaging line without changing the cylinder.
Absorb part-length variations in machining fixtures by trimming the forward end position against the workpiece using the external screw.
Push 8 kg cartons into a labeling station with 157 N of force, adjusting the extend distance on the fly to accommodate varying box depths.
If your application needs less push, the MIJ16 bore provides 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the MIJ25 gives you 245.3 N for heavier fixtures. The 50 mm adjustment window on this model is ideal for taking up mechanical tolerances or staging feeds across changeover jobs. Just remember the stop screw sets the forward end position—it is not a mid-stroke lock, and the piston will drift if air pressure drops. Use an external pilot check valve if you need to hold a suspended load.
You can mount this cylinder using LB foot brackets, FA flanges, or TC trunnions, but the SDB pivot block is not offered on this adjustable variant. Position sensing is ready out of the box thanks to the -S magnet option.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa this double-acting cylinder provides 157 N push and 131.9 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it provides 219.8 N push and 184.7 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa, and the air port size is 1/8".
The external stop screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 50 mm on-site, but the retract stroke remains full. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for use with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The stainless steel build resists mild corrosion.
