About the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X15-10S
Dial in the forward stop on site without swapping cylinders: the AirTAC MICJ16X15-10S uses an external screw to shorten the extend stroke by up to 10 mm, yielding a usable 5-15 mm forward position. The stainless-steel round-body barrel and Ø6 mm rod shrug off mild corrosion and washdown, while the built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors for position confirmation.
This double-acting ISO 6432 mini cylinder pairs that adjustable stop with an adjustable air cushion at both ends, soaking up high-speed shock. It pushes with 100.5 N and pulls with 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa. The M5×0.8 port feeds the 30-800 mm/s speed range.

| Port size | M5×0.8 |
| Rod thread | M6×1.0 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 30 – 800 mm/s |

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MI/MIC (ISO 6432) datasheet. Barrel & rod: stainless steel (round-body, riveted construction). Thread options: PT (blank) / G.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø16mm)
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 86 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 121 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 18 kgf |
MIJ / MICJ are double-rod: the rear rod that carries the stroke adjuster exits the rear cover, so both piston faces lose rod area. The rod-side (annular) area is used for both directions (conservative).

Where the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X15-10S Is Used
Micro-Clamp Positioning
Secure small parts precisely by trimming the 10 mm extend stop to hit a 7 mm forward clamp position, using the cushion to soften the 100.5 N impact at speed.
Light Parts Ejection
Push lightweight plastic or aluminum components out of a fixture, relying on the 5.1 kg vertical lift capacity and the adjustable stop to prevent over-travel.
Lab Dispense Head
Lower a fluid dispense nozzle accurately onto a tray, using the -S magnet with a DMSG sensor to confirm the exact extend position before cycling.
Is the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X15-10S the Right Cylinder?
For lighter duty, AirTAC does not offer a smaller cushioned MICJ bore, so you would drop down to the MIJ bumper-only series. If you need more force, the next size up is the MICJ20, which pushes 157.0 N at 0.5 MPa. Choose this Ø16 model when you need fast set-position moves where the needle cushion can tame the impact at stroke end. Mount via LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion, as the SDB pivot-block is not available on this adjustable variant. Position holding is not inherent: the piston drifts on air loss, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you need to hold a load.
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 MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X15-10S FAQ
This double-acting cylinder pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa, and pushes 140.7 N and pulls 120.9 N at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical max force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses an M5×0.8 air port and a Ø6 mm piston rod with an M6x1.0 male thread.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 10 mm on site, while the needle-set air cushion at both ends decelerates the piston near the end of travel. The stop screw sets the end position but is not a mid-stroke lock, and the cylinder does not hold a load on air loss. The -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors.
