About the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X250-10
Dial in the forward stop on site without swapping hardware: the MICJ16X250-10 uses an external screw to trim the extend end by up to 10 mm (usable forward travel 240-250 mm), while a needle-set air cushion at both ends soaks up high-speed shock.
Built with a stainless barrel and rod for mild washdown resistance, it drops into standard ISO 6432 mini-cylinder brackets via its M5×0.8 port and M6x1.0 male rod thread. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG/DMSG/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 MICJ16X250-10 Is Used
Light Part Ejection
Pushes small plastic parts out of a machining fixture, using the 10 mm extend trim to hit the exact drop point while the air cushion absorbs the 100.5 N impact.
Package Diverter
Sorts light cartons on a belt line; the adjustable forward stop prevents over-travel and the dual cushions handle 800 mm/s speeds without slamming.
Lab Sample Routing
Moves test tubes between stations where the stainless body resists mild corrosion and the fine extend adjustment dials in the transfer distance.
Is the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X250-10 the Right Cylinder?
For lighter moves, the MIJ bumper-only series is your fallback, while stepping up to the Ø20 MICJ raises push force to 157 N. Choose this Ø16 bore when you need fast set-position cycling under 60 N and want the adjustable air cushion to prevent end-of-stroke banging. The stop screw sets the end position but is not a mid-stroke lock; the piston will drift on air loss, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended load.
Mount using LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets (SDB pivot-block is not offered on this adjustable variant). Because this specific code has no -S suffix, it cannot accept position sensors.
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 MICJ16X250-10 FAQ
The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port is M5×0.8.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 10 mm (retract stays full), and a needle valve adjusts the air cushion at both ends to decelerate the piston before impact. This SKU has no magnet, so it cannot take CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors; you need the -S variant for that.
