About the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X175-20
Trim the forward stop by up to 20 mm on site without swapping hardware using this stainless-steel, round-body mini cylinder. The MICJ16X175-20 is a double-acting actuator with a 175 mm nominal stroke and a needle-set adjustable air cushion at both ends to absorb high-speed shock.
It uses an M5×0.8 port, conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface, and features a corrosion-resistant stainless barrel and rod. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.

| Port size | M5×0.8 |
| Rod thread | M6×1.0 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 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 MICJ16X175-20 Is Used
Light Part Ejection
Ejects small plastic parts at speed, using the 20 mm extend trim to dial in the exact drop point without reprogramming the machine cycle.
Package Deflection
Pushes light cartons on a sorting line; the adjustable air cushion soaks up the impact of fast 60 N strokes to keep the stainless rod from slamming.
Lab Sample Routing
Moves test tubes between stations where the 5.1 kg vertical lift capacity and washdown-resistant stainless build handle damp environments reliably.
Is the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X175-20 the Right Cylinder?
For lighter duty, AirTAC does not offer a smaller cushioned bore, so you would drop to the MIJ bumper-only series. If you need more force, stepping up to the Ø20 bore increases push force to 157 N at 0.5 MPa. The Ø16 hits a sweet spot for compact, fast set-position moves where the external stop screw and dual air cushions prevent end-of-stroke banging.
Because this is a non-magnet SKU, position sensing is not possible. The stop screw sets the extend end position but is not a mid-stroke lock; the cylinder will drift on air loss, so add an external pilot check valve for load holding. Mount using LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion (SDB is unavailable here).
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 MICJ16X175-20 FAQ
It has an M5×0.8 port. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 140.7 N and pulls 120.9 N. The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 20 mm (usable range 155-175 mm), while needle valves tune the air cushions at both ends to decelerate high-speed moves. This SKU has no magnet for sensors. The cylinder drifts on air loss—the screw and cushion set position and speed, but do not lock the load mid-stroke.
