About the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X15-20
Trim the forward stop by up to 20 mm on site without swapping cylinders using the AirTAC MICJ16X15-20. This double-acting, round-body stainless steel mini cylinder pairs an external extend adjuster with a needle-set air cushion at both ends, letting you dial in the 0-15 mm forward position while soaking up high-speed shock.
The stainless barrel and rod resist mild washdown corrosion. This non-magnet SKU cannot take a sensor, but the -S variant enables CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.

| 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 MICJ16X15-20 Is Used
Micro Clamping
Dial in a 10 mm clamping reach on small parts and let the dual air cushions absorb the 100.5 N impact for quiet, repeatable holds.
Sensor Diverter
Fine-tune the extend stop to nudge small electronic parts into test fixtures without crushing them at high cycle speeds.
Is the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X15-20 the Right Cylinder?
For lighter duties, the MIJ bumper-only series is the next step down, while the MICJ20 pushes 157 N at 0.5 MPa if you need more force. Choose this 16 mm bore when you need fast, settable-position moves up to 15 mm where the dual air cushions can decelerate the impact safely.
The external stop screw sets the extend end position but is not a mid-stroke lock; the piston will drift on air loss, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads. Mount via LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion (SDB pivot-block is not available), and note the M5×0.8 port size.
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 MICJ16X15-20 FAQ
It uses an M5×0.8 air port. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 140.7 N and pulls 120.9 N. The theoretical max force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 20 mm, while needle valves adjust the air cushions at both ends to decelerate high-speed impacts. The stop screw is not a mid-stroke lock, and the piston drifts on air loss. This non-magnet SKU cannot take sensors; the -S variant adds a magnet for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
