About the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X30-20
Trim the forward stop on site without swapping cylinders: the AirTAC MICJ16X30-20 uses an external screw to shorten the extend end by up to 20 mm, yielding a usable 10-30 mm forward travel, while a needle-set air cushion at both ends soaks up high-speed shock. As a double-acting, round-body stainless-steel mini cylinder, it brings mild washdown resistance to tight spaces.
Built to the ISO 6432 mounting interface, this Ø16 bore drops into standard mini brackets and clevises. This non-magnet SKU cannot take a sensor; adding the -S variant enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.

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 MICJ16X30-20 Is Used
Precision Feeder Stop
Dial in the 10-30 mm extend stroke to act as an adjustable physical stop for small parts feeding, absorbing the impact with the dual air cushions at cycle's end.
Is the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X30-20 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this Ø16 model for fast, settable-position moves where you need to dial in the exact 10-30 mm extend stop and rely on the dual cushions to decelerate cleanly at speeds up to 800 mm/s.
Remember that the stop screw sets the end position but is not a mid-stroke lock, and the air cushion only decelerates near the stroke end. If the application must hold a load on air loss, fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve, as the piston will drift. Mount via LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion (SDB is not offered on this adjustable variant).
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 MICJ16X30-20 FAQ
This double-acting cylinder pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 140.7 N and pulls 120.9 N. The theoretical max force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa, and it uses an M5×0.8 air port.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 20 mm (usable forward travel 10-30 mm), while needle valves adjust the air cushions at both ends to decelerate high-speed impacts. The cushions only slow the piston near the end of travel; they do not lock or hold the load. This SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take sensors unless you specify the -S variant.
