About the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X30-20S
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.

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 MICJ16X30-20S Is Used
Carton Flap Folding
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.
Sample Diverting
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.
Is the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X30-20S the Right Cylinder?
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
- ✓ 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 MICJ16X30-20S FAQ
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.
