The AirTAC MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X250-100S is a genuine double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 250mm 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.
Trimming the forward stop by up to 100 mm on-site, the AirTAC MICJ16X250-100S lets you dial in the extend position from 150 mm to the full 250 mm without swapping hardware. This double-acting round-body mini cylinder pairs that external screw adjustment with a needle-set air cushion at both ends, soaking up high-speed shock so you control both the end position and the impact.
Built with a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mild washdown resistance, the Ø16 bore conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for easy bracket drops. The -S suffix means a piston magnet is installed for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors, and the M5×0.8 port keeps airflow compact.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MI/MIC (ISO 6432) datasheet. Barrel & rod: stainless steel (round-body, riveted construction). Thread options: PT (blank) / G.
| Pressure | Force (both ways) |
|---|---|

| 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).

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.
Use the 100 mm extend adjustment to precisely set the push distance when feeding 5 kg material stacks, relying on the dual air cushions to absorb the impact of rapid 30-800 mm/s moves.
Dial the forward stop to match varying carton depths on the fly; the stainless build handles mildly humid packing environments while the magnet enables DMSG position confirmation.
Set the exact extend position to halt items on a belt without replacing the cylinder, using the adjustable cushion to soften the stop when cycling at high speeds.
When sizing this 16 mm bore, step up to the MICJ20 if you need more push (157 N at 0.5 MPa), or drop to the MIJ bumper-only series if your load is lighter and requires no cushion. The MICJ16X250-100S shines in fast set-position moves where the 100 mm extend trim and dual adjustable cushions prevent end-of-stroke banging. Mount via LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion (the SDB pivot-block is not offered on adjustable-stroke variants), and match your sensing needs with CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches via the built-in magnet. Remember that the stop screw sets the end position but does not act as a mid-stroke lock; the cylinder will drift on air loss, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads.
Quick checklist
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 100 mm (usable range 150-250 mm), while a needle valve adjusts the air cushion at both ends to decelerate the piston near stroke end. The -S suffix enables CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, but note the cushion only decelerates and does not lock the load.
