About the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X160-20S
Dial in a precise forward stop on-site with the AirTAC MICJ16X160-20S, a stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder featuring a 20 mm adjustable extend stroke. An external stop screw lets you trim the extend end position from 140 to 160 mm without swapping hardware, while a needle-set adjustable air cushion at both ends absorbs high-speed shock. It conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for straightforward bracket interchangeability.
The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet, enabling CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensing.

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 MICJ16X160-20S Is Used
Light-Part Ejection
Tunes the 140-160 mm extend stop to eject 5 kg plastic parts from a mold consistently, using the needle cushion to soften high-speed impacts.
Sensor-Driven Sorting
Uses the built-in -S magnet with DMSG switches to verify the extend position of a 100.5 N sorting gate in automated assembly lines.
Is the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X160-20S the Right Cylinder?
The 20 mm extend adjuster is ideal for fast set-position moves where you need to tune the forward stop on the fly. Choose LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion mounts, as the SDB pivot-block is not offered on this adjustable variant.
Keep in mind the stop screw sets the end position but does not function as a mid-stroke lock. The cylinder will drift on air loss, and the air cushion only decelerates near the stroke end. For holding a suspended load, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated 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 MICJ16X160-20S FAQ
This 16 mm bore cylinder uses an M5×0.8 port. The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 20 mm, while the needle-set adjustable air cushion decelerates the piston at both ends. The -S magnet enables CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. It does not hold position on air loss; use an external rod lock for suspended loads.
