The AirTAC MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X175-50S 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.
Dial in a precise forward stop on-site with the AirTAC MICJ16X175-50S, a stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder featuring a 50 mm extend-stroke adjuster. The external screw trims the forward end position down to a 125 mm usable extend, while the retract stroke remains full. A needle-set adjustable air cushion at both ends soaks up high-speed shock, letting you set the position and control the impact simultaneously.
The built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors for position feedback. The M5×0.8 port and M6x1.0 male rod thread ensure standard mini-cylinder mounting interchangeability.

| 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).

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.
Tune the 125-175 mm extend stop to eject 4 kg plastic parts from a mold at speed, using the dual air cushions to prevent endcap impact damage.
Divert small cartons on a line by dialing in the exact stroke length needed to clear the belt, absorbing the shock of high-speed routing shifts.
For lighter duty, the MIJ series relies on a fixed bumper and lacks this needle cushion, making the MICJ16 your entry point for tuned shock absorption. The 50 mm extend adjuster is perfect for fast set-position moves where you need to tune the forward stop without swapping hardware. Remember that the stop screw sets the end position but is not a mid-stroke lock; the piston will drift on air loss, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads. Use LB, FA, or TC mounts (SDB is unavailable here), and pair the -S magnet with electronic or reed switches.
Quick checklist
The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 50 mm (usable extend 125-175 mm), while the retract remains full. Needle-set adjustable air cushions at both ends decelerate the piston near stroke end to absorb shock. The -S suffix means a built-in piston magnet is present for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors.
