About the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X160-10S
Trim the forward stop by up to 10 mm on site with the AirTAC MICJ16X160-10S, a stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder that pairs an adjustable extend stroke with needle-set air cushions at both ends. The external screw shortens the extend end position from 160 mm down to 150 mm without swapping hardware, while the dual cushions soak up high-speed shock. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it is ready for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches.
Built on the ISO 6432 mounting interface for Ø16 bores, the riveted stainless barrel and Ø6 mm rod shrug off mild washdown corrosion. Air connects via an M5×0.8 port, and the male M6x1.0 rod thread makes linkage easy.

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 MICJ16X160-10S Is Used
Light-Part Positioning
Dial in the 10 mm extend stop to place 5 kg workpieces precisely at a machining station, relying on the air cushion to absorb the high-speed arrival.
Divertor Gate Control
Adjust the forward stroke on the fly to time a divertor gate on a packaging line, with the -S magnet triggering DMSG sensors to confirm gate position.
Lab Dispense Head
Set the exact extend length for a liquid dispense head in a washdown environment; the stainless build resists mild corrosion while the cushion prevents end-of-stroke jarring.
Is the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X160-10S the Right Cylinder?
If you need less push, stepping down is not an option with a cushioned bore—smaller Ø8/10/12 sizes use bumpers only, so you would look at the MIJ series. If 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa is insufficient, the next cushioned step up is the Ø20 bore, which pushes 157 N. This Ø16 model is ideal when you need fast, settable-position moves, as the 10 mm extend adjuster lets you dial in the exact forward stop while the cushion decelerates the impact. Mount it using LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets (the SDB pivot block is not offered on this adjustable variant). Remember that the stop screw sets the end position but does not lock the piston mid-stroke; if you need to hold a load on air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
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 MICJ16X160-10S FAQ
This double-acting cylinder pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, it pushes 140.7 N and pulls 120.9 N. The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa, and the air port is M5×0.8.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 10 mm (usable extend 150-160 mm), while the needle-set air cushion at both ends decelerates the piston near stroke end. The -S magnet enables CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The cushion only decelerates and does not lock the piston; the cylinder will drift on air loss, so use an external rod lock for load holding.
