About the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X160-20
Trim the forward stop by up to 20 mm on site without swapping hardware using this adjustable-extend stainless steel mini cylinder. The external screw trims the extend end position from 140 to 160 mm, while the needle-set adjustable air cushion at both ends soaks up high-speed shock.
Built with a stainless barrel and rod for mild washdown resistance, the Ø16 bore conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for standard mini brackets. This non-magnet SKU cannot take a sensor; add the -S variant for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. The M5×0.8 port and M6x1.0 rod thread handle speeds of 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 MICJ16X160-20 Is Used
Light Part Ejection
Dial in the 20 mm extend stop to eject 5 kg plastic parts from a mold without overshooting, relying on the air cushion to absorb the high-speed impact.
Transfer Gate Deflection
Set a precise 150 mm forward stroke to push lightweight cartons between conveyor lanes, using the adjustable stop to fine-tune the gate position.
Is the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X160-20 the Right Cylinder?
If you need less force, the smaller MIJ series relies on a bumper without an air cushion. The 20 mm extend stop screw lets you dial in the exact forward position for fast, repetitive set-position moves.
The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it 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 via LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion (SDB pivot-block is unavailable). This SKU lacks a magnet and cannot host sensors.
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 MICJ16X160-20 FAQ
This double-acting cylinder pushes at 100.5 N and pulls at 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, push is 140.7 N and pull is 120.9 N. The theoretical max force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features an M5×0.8 port and a 6 mm piston rod with an M6x1.0 male thread.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 20 mm on site, letting you set the forward end position without hardware changes. The needle-set adjustable air cushion at both ends decelerates the piston at high speeds to reduce shock. Note this SKU has no magnet (-S required for sensors), and the stop screw is not a mid-stroke lock.
