About the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X160-30S
Trim the forward stop by up to 30 mm on site without swapping hardware: this stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder dials in a usable 130-160 mm extend position via an external screw. A needle-set variable air cushion at both ends soaks up high-speed shock, letting you set the exact end point and control the impact simultaneously.
The M5×0.8 port and M6x1.0 male rod thread keep the footprint standard, while the stainless barrel and rod resist mild washdown corrosion.

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 MICJ16X160-30S Is Used
Package Diverting
Sorts light cartons on a line by extending a 60 N working load gate, with the adjustable forward stop tuning the divert distance without crashing into the belt frame.
Sensor Actuation
Triggers a downstream check by pushing a light lever, using the built-in -S magnet with a DMSG switch to confirm the extend position before retracting.
Is the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X160-30S the Right Cylinder?
For lighter moves, the MIJ bumper-only series lacks this air cushion; stepping up to the Ø20 bore raises the 0.5 MPa push force to 157 N if you need more muscle. At the top end, the Ø40 bore pushes 628 N. The Ø16 hits a sweet spot for small, fast set-position moves where the 30 mm extend trim prevents hard mechanical crashes.
The stop screw sets the end position but is not a mid-stroke lock, and the cylinder will drift on air loss—use 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 not offered on this adjustable variant), and rely on the -S magnet for 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 MICJ16X160-30S FAQ
This double-acting cylinder pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa, and pushes 140.7 N / pulls 120.9 N at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical max force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses an M5×0.8 air port.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 30 mm (usable extend 130-160 mm), while needle-set variable air cushions at both ends decelerate the piston near stroke end. The cushion is not a brake, and the cylinder drifts on air loss; use an external rod lock to hold a load. The -S magnet enables CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
