The AirTAC MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X30-20 is a genuine double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 30mm 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.
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.

| 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.
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.
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
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.
