About the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X20-10S
Trim the forward stop by up to 10 mm on site without swapping cylinders: the MICJ16X20-10S is a double-acting, round-body stainless-steel mini cylinder with an adjustable extend stroke and a needle-set air cushion at both ends. The external screw shortens the extend end position only (usable forward travel 10-20 mm), while the cushions soak up high-speed shock. A built-in magnet (-S) enables CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position sensing.
Built to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, the stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown. The stop screw sets the end position but is not a mid-stroke lock; use an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you must hold a load on air loss.

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 MICJ16X20-10S Is Used
Small Parts Ejector
Dial in a 15 mm extend tap to eject light plastic mouldings, using the dual air cushions to absorb the end-of-stroke shock at high cycle rates.
Sensor Actuation Probe
Use the -S magnet with a DMSG switch to trigger a quality-check probe, trimming the forward stop by 5 mm to hit the target without crushing the 5 kg test load.
Carton Flap Tucker
Set a precise 18 mm forward fold on a small carton flap; the stainless build handles light washdown while the cushion prevents denting the board.
Is the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X20-10S the Right Cylinder?
If you need less force, the smaller ISO 6432 mini sizes in the family are bumper-only (MIJ) without air cushions; if your load grows, step up to the Ø20 bore, which raises push to 157.0 N @0.5 MPa. Choose this Ø16 model when you need a fast, settable forward position and controlled deceleration in a compact footprint.
The adjustable stop plus dual air cushions excel in fast set-position moves where you must dial in the forward end and kill impact shock. Mount via LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion (the SDB pivot-block is not offered on this adjustable variant). Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it is ready for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
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 MICJ16X20-10S FAQ
This Ø16 mm cylinder uses an M5×0.8 port. The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 10 mm, letting you set the forward end position on site. Needle-set air cushions at both ends decelerate the piston near stroke end to absorb high-speed shock. The cushion is not a brake or lock; the cylinder will drift on air loss, so use an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended load. The -S suffix means it has a magnet for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
