The AirTAC MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X30-20S 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 by up to 20 mm on site without swapping cylinders using this stainless steel round-body mini cylinder. The MICJ16X30-20S pairs that external extend adjuster with a variable air cushion at both ends, letting you dial in the exact 10 to 30 mm forward position while soaking up high-speed impact. A built-in magnet enables position sensing.
The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. The M5×0.8 port and M6x1.0 male rod thread keep the pneumatic footprint compact.

| 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.
Fold light cardboard flaps at high speed where the dual adjustable cushions absorb the impact, and the external screw fine-tunes the fold depth within the 20 mm window.
Route small laboratory vials on a conveyor using the 5.1 kg vertical lift capacity, relying on the stainless construction for wipe-down resistance and the magnet for position confirmation.
When sizing this 16 mm bore, stepping down means moving to an MIJ bumper-only variant, which loses the adjustable air cushion. This adjustable stop plus cushion combination shines in fast set-position moves where you need precise end control without mechanical shock. Mount via LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion, as the SDB pivot block is not offered on this adjustable variant. Position sensing requires the built-in -S magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. Note that the stop screw sets the end position but does not lock mid-stroke; the piston will drift on air loss, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended load.
Quick checklist
The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This 16 mm bore cylinder uses an M5×0.8 air port.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 20 mm, giving a usable forward range of 10 to 30 mm, while the retract remains full. A needle-set variable air cushion at both ends decelerates the piston near the ends to absorb high-speed shock. The -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors to track position.
