The AirTAC MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X175-50 is a genuine double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 175mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments. Its ISO 6432 mounting interface fits standard ISO 6432 mini-cylinder mounting interfaces.
Trim the forward stop on site without swapping hardware: the MICJ16X175-50 uses an external screw to shorten the extend stroke by up to 50 mm, giving a usable forward range of 125-175 mm. Retract remains full length. This double-acting, stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder also features a needle-adjustable air cushion at both ends to soak up high-speed shock right before the end of travel.
Built to the ISO 6432 mounting interface, the Ø16 bore drops into standard mini brackets and clevises. It pushes with 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa (140.7 N at 0.7 MPa) and pulls 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa. The M5×0.8 port and M6x1.0 male rod thread keep the footprint compact, while the stainless barrel and rod resist mild washdown corrosion. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot host CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.

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).

MI-family variants: MI / MIC (double acting ±cushion), MSI / MTI (single acting push / pull), MID / MICD (double rod ±cushion), MIJ / MICJ (double rod, adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / R / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
Dial the extend stop in 50 mm to eject light plastic parts precisely, letting the adjustable air cushion absorb the impact of fast 30-800 mm/s moves.
Use the stainless round body in mildly humid lab environments, fine-tuning the extend end position to meter liquids accurately within the 125-175 mm window.
Size this Ø16 bore against its neighbors: if your move needs less force, the smaller MIJ series offers only a non-adjustable bumper (no air cushion), so you lose shock control. If you need more push, stepping up to the Ø20 bore raises the 0.5 MPa push force to 157 N. The MICJ16X175-50 is ideal when you need to dial in a precise extend position on a fast cycle, letting the dual cushions absorb the impact. For holding a load on air loss, note that the stop screw and cushions only decelerate; they do not lock the piston mid-stroke, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for suspended loads.
Mount using LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets, or CA/U/R/CM back covers (the SDB pivot block is not offered on this adjustable-stroke build). If you require position sensing, select the -S magnet variant to enable CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder pushes with 100.5 N and pulls with 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa. 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. It uses an M5×0.8 air port and an M6x1.0 male rod thread.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 50 mm (retract stays full), while a needle valve adjusts the air cushion at both ends to decelerate the piston before impact. The stop screw sets the end position but is not a mid-stroke lock; the cylinder drifts on air loss, so use a pilot check valve for holding. This SKU has no magnet (-S) and cannot take sensors.
