The AirTAC Airtac MIJ Adjustable Cylinder MIJ8X60-30 is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø8mm bore and 60mm stroke, M5×0.8 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 MIJ8X60-30, a round-body stainless steel mini cylinder that lets you shorten the extend stroke by up to 30 mm via an external stop nut. Because the adjuster trims only the extend end, you can cover several stop distances with a single part number while retaining the full 60 mm retract. Built with a riveted stainless barrel and Ø4 mm rod, it handles mild washdown and corrosion exposure.
Operating at 0.15-1.0 MPa with an M5x0.8 port, this double-acting ISO 6432 unit delivers 25.1 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. That translates to a safe working load of roughly 15 N, or a vertical lift capacity of about 1.3 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Fixed TPU bumper pads decelerate the stroke ends, and since this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot host 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.
Provides a 15 N safe working load to secure delicate electronic components, using the 30 mm extend adjustment to dial in the exact clamping depth without crushing parts.
Sorts small lightweight packets on a conveyor by extending a gate pin, with the adjustable stop allowing quick changeover for different package sizes.
Pushes small molded parts out of a fixture at 25.1 N, using the shortened extend stroke to eject into a specific chute without repositioning the cylinder body.
When sizing this 8 mm bore, stepping up to the MIJ12X60-30 provides a substantial force jump to 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, while no smaller standard MIJ bore exists below it. The 30 mm adjustment window is ideal for taking up mechanical tolerances during setup or staging feeds, letting you fine-tune the extend position without swapping hardware. Mount using standard ISO 6432 brackets like LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion, noting that the SDB pivot block is not offered for this adjustable variant.
Keep in mind that the stop screw sets the end position but does not function as a mid-stroke lock. If air pressure drops, the piston will drift, as the bumper pads only soften the stroke end rather than holding the load. For applications requiring a held load, integrate an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder features an M5x0.8 port and a Ø4 mm rod. It generates 25.1 N push and 18.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 35.2 N push and 26.4 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 5.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external stop screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 30 mm on-site, allowing a usable extend range of 30-60 mm, while retract remains full. The screw is not a mid-stroke lock; the piston drifts on air loss, and because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept position sensors.
