About the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X175-20S
Trimming the forward stop by up to 20 mm on-site, this stainless steel round-body mini cylinder lets you dial in a 155-175 mm extend position without swapping hardware. The external screw adjusts the extend end only, while a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends soaks up high-speed shock.
Built to the ISO 6432 mounting interface, the Ø16 body drops into standard mini brackets and clevises. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild washdown corrosion, and the -S magnet supports 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 MICJ16X175-20S Is Used
Light-Part Ejection
Pushes small plastic parts out of a mold at speed, using the 20 mm extend trim to hit the exact drop point while the air cushion absorbs the end-of-stroke impact.
Sensor Sorting
Uses the built-in -S magnet with DMSG switches to confirm small component positions before the variable cushion decelerates the 6 mm rod at high cycle rates.
Is the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X175-20S the Right Cylinder?
For lighter duty, the MIJ bumper-only series lacks this air cushion; stepping up to a Ø20 MICJ raises the 0.5 MPa push to 157 N. This Ø16 hits a 100.5 N sweet spot for compact, settable-position moves. The adjustable stop and dual cushions excel in fast cycling, but remember the piston drifts on air loss—the stop screw sets the end position, not a mid-stroke lock. Use an external pilot check valve to hold a load.
Mount using LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion brackets (SDB pivot-block is unavailable here). The built-in -S magnet is ready for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches, operating at 30-800 mm/s.
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 MICJ16X175-20S FAQ
At 0.7 MPa, push is 140.7 N and pull is 120.9 N. The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external screw shortens the extend end position by up to 20 mm on-site, giving a usable 155-175 mm forward stroke; retract remains full. Needle valves adjust the variable air cushion at both ends to decelerate high-speed moves. The -S magnet enables CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, and the stainless build resists mild corrosion.
