About the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X160-40
Dial in a precise forward stop on-site with the AirTAC MICJ16X160-40, a stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder featuring a 40 mm adjustable extend stroke. An external stop screw lets you trim the forward end position down to 120 mm without swapping hardware, while a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends absorbs high-speed impact.
Built with a riveted stainless barrel and rod for mild washdown resistance, this double-acting actuator conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for Ø16 bores. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG/DMSG/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 MICJ16X160-40 Is Used
Light-Part Ejection
Trims the extend stroke by up to 40 mm to eject 5 kg electronics assemblies from a jig, using the adjustable air cushion to prevent bounce at 800 mm/s.
Package Diverting
Sets a precise 140 mm forward stop to push lightweight cartons onto a secondary line, absorbing the impact with dual needle-set cushions.
Is the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X160-40 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16 mm bore, dropping to a smaller standard cushioned mini cylinder is not an option—below this size you move to the MIJ bumper-only series. If your application needs more force, stepping up to the Ø20 bore raises the 0.5 MPa push force to 157 N. Choose this adjustable-stroke model when you need to fine-tune a set position on the fly and rely on the dual air cushions to decelerate smoothly at speeds up to 800 mm/s.
Remember that the external screw only trims the extend end position; it is not a mid-stroke lock. The cylinder will drift and fail to hold a load on air loss, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for suspended loads. Mount using standard LB, FA, or TC brackets (SDB pivot blocks are not offered here), and select the -S magnet variant 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 MICJ16X160-40 FAQ
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 40 mm on-site, while needle valves adjust the air cushions at both ends to decelerate high-speed moves. This SKU has no magnet (-S required for sensors), and the cushion only slows the piston near the end of travel—it is not a brake, so use an external rod lock to hold suspended loads.
