About the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X160-30
Trim the forward stop by up to 30 mm right at the machine without swapping cylinders, and let the adjustable air cushion at both ends soak up high-speed shock. The AirTAC MICJ16X160-30 is a double-acting, round-body stainless-steel mini cylinder with a 160 mm nominal stroke, yielding a usable extend range of 130-160 mm. Its stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments.
The external screw sets the extend end position only and is not a mid-stroke lock; the piston will drift on air loss. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.

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 MICJ16X160-30 Is Used
Carton Flap Folding
Adjust the forward stop on the fly to match varying box heights, relying on the stainless construction for washdown resistance in packaging lines.
Light Part Ejection
Tune the extend end to eject 5.1 kg parts precisely without overtravel, letting the needle cushion decelerate the rod at high cycle speeds.
Is the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X160-30 the Right Cylinder?
The 30 mm extend adjuster paired with the dual-end air cushion excels in fast set-position moves where you must dial in the exact forward stop and control impact at 30-800 mm/s.
For load holding, note that the stop screw and cushion only set the end position and decelerate the piston—they do not act as a brake. You will need an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold a load on air loss. Mount using LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets (SDB pivot-block is not available), and select the -S magnet version if you require 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 MICJ16X160-30 FAQ
The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 30 mm (retract remains full), while a needle valve adjusts the air cushion at both ends to decelerate high-speed moves. This specific SKU has no magnet (-S required for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors) and the cushion only decelerates, it does not lock the load.
