About the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X160-100S
Trim the forward stop on site without swapping cylinders: the MICJ16X160-100S uses an external screw to shorten the extend stroke by up to 100 mm, giving a usable forward range of 60 to 160 mm while retract stays full. A needle-set adjustable air cushion at both ends soaks up high-speed shock, letting you set the exact position and control the impact.
Built as a stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder with a 16 mm bore and M5×0.8 port, it drops into standard ISO 6432 mini brackets and resists mild washdown corrosion. The -S suffix means a built-in piston magnet is present for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches.

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 MICJ16X160-100S Is Used
Light Part Ejector
Ejects small plastic parts at speed, using the 100 mm extend adjustment to dial the knock-out distance perfectly while the air cushion prevents end-of-stroke slamming.
Film Feed Tensioner
Pays out packaging film to a precise 60 mm forward stop, relying on the 5.1 kg lift capacity and needle-tuned cushion to absorb shock during fast cycling.
Lab Dispense Head
Moves a dispense nozzle into position with a soft landing, using the stainless body for mild washdown resistance and the adjustable forward stop for exact fluid delivery depth.
Is the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X160-100S the Right Cylinder?
Size both ways against the real 0.5 MPa figures: dropping to an 8 mm MIJ bumper type loses cushioning entirely, while stepping up to the 20 mm MICJ raises push force to 157 N. Choose this 16 mm bore when you need precise set-position moves under 60 N with shock absorption at high speed. The stop screw sets the end position but is not 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 using LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion (SDB pivot-block is not available on this adjustable variant). Back covers include CA, U, R and CM. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you can mount CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors directly for position confirmation.
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 MICJ16X160-100S FAQ
This 16 mm bore double-acting cylinder has an M5×0.8 port.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 100 mm (usable forward range 60-160 mm); retract remains full. A needle valve adjusts the air cushion at both ends to decelerate the piston near stroke end. The cushion only decelerates and the screw only sets the end position—neither acts as a mid-stroke lock, so the piston drifts on air loss.
