About the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X20-20
Trim the forward stop on site by up to 20 mm with this stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder, then dial in the needle valves to soak up high-speed shock. The external screw shortens the extend end position only, while the adjustable air cushion at both ends decelerates the piston near the stroke limits. It is a double-acting ISO 6432 unit with a 16 mm bore, a 6 mm rod, and an M5×0.8 port.
The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown. Note this SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot host 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 MICJ16X20-20 Is Used
Micro-Clamp Actuation
Drives a small parts clamp with a tuned 20 mm extend stop, using the dual air cushions to prevent impact shock on the 60 N workpiece.
Light Diverter Gate
Pushes a lightweight routing flap on a packaging line, dialing in the forward position to deflect items without bouncing.
Sensor Probe Placement
Extends a testing probe exactly 15 mm into a recess, leveraging the adjustable forward stop for precise depth control on small assemblies.
Is the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X20-20 the Right Cylinder?
For lighter duty, the smaller AirTAC mini bore is the MIJ bumper-only type, so this 16 mm cushioned version is the entry point for tuned end-of-stroke deceleration. If your move needs more push, stepping up to the 20 mm bore raises the 0.5 MPa push force to 157 N. The 20 mm adjust window here is ideal for fast set-position moves where you need to tune the extend stop without swapping hardware. Mount via LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion, as the SDB pivot block is not offered on this adjustable variant. Remember the stop screw sets the end position but does not lock mid-stroke; add an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you must hold a load on air loss.
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 MICJ16X20-20 FAQ
Its theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external screw shortens the extend end position by up to 20 mm, while needle valves adjust the air cushions at both ends to decelerate the piston at high speed. The cushion only decelerates and is not a brake; the cylinder will drift on air loss, so use a pilot check valve to hold a load. This non-S SKU has no magnet for sensors.
