About the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X15-20S
Dial in the forward stop on site with the AirTAC MICJ16X15-20S, a stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder that shortens the extend stroke by up to 20 mm via an external screw. A needle-set adjustable air cushion at both ends soaks up high-speed shock, letting you set the position and control the impact simultaneously. The built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors for exact end-of-stroke detection.
Built to the ISO 6432 mounting interface, this double-acting Ø16 bore drops into standard mini brackets and uses an M5×0.8 port with an M6x1.0 male rod thread. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments.

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 MICJ16X15-20S Is Used
Micro-Clamp Positioning
Dial in a precise 5 mm extend stop on a delicate machining clamp to grip small parts without crushing them, absorbing the high-speed impact with the air cushion.
Sensor-Driven Ejector
Use the built-in magnet with a DMSG switch to trigger a high-speed part ejection, tuning the needle cushion to stop the 15 mm stroke smoothly without bounce.
Is the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X15-20S the Right Cylinder?
For lighter duties, AirTAC does not offer a smaller cushioned MICJ bore, so you would drop down to the MIJ bumper-only series. If you need more push, stepping up to the Ø20 bore raises the 0.5 MPa push force to 157 N. This MICJ16X15-20S is ideal when you need fast, settable-position moves within a compact 15 mm nominal stroke. Remember that the stop screw sets the end position but does not act as a mid-stroke lock; the piston will drift on air loss, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended load.
Mount this cylinder using LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion brackets, as the SDB pivot block is not available on the adjustable-stroke variant. The -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for position sensing.
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 MICJ16X15-20S FAQ
This Ø16 bore double-acting cylinder uses an M5×0.8 port and an M6x1.0 male rod thread.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 20 mm on site, while the needle-set air cushion at both ends decelerates the piston near the stroke ends to absorb shock. The -S suffix means a magnet is built in for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The cushion only decelerates and the screw only sets the end position; neither acts as a mid-stroke lock, so the piston will drift on air loss.
