The AirTAC MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X300-10 is a genuine double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 300mm 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 10 mm on site without swapping hardware using this stainless steel round-body mini cylinder. The MICJ16X300-10 is a double-acting actuator featuring a variable air cushion at both ends to soak up high-speed shock, while the external screw shortens the extend stroke to a usable 290-300 mm range. Retract remains full length. Built with an M5×0.8 port and an M6x1.0 male rod thread, it drops directly into standard ISO 6432 mini-cylinder mounting brackets and clevises.
The stainless barrel and piston rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. Note this specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors; order the -S variant if position detection is required.

| 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 exact 290-300 mm extend endpoint on a 60 N workpiece feeder to avoid mechanical hard stops, using the 10 mm adjuster and air cushion to remove end-of-stroke shock.
Push small plastic parts off a belt at high speed; the stainless construction handles mild washdown, while the cushion prevents the 5.1 kg load from slamming the cylinder body.
Set a precise forward position for a light pressing task, adjusting the stroke on the fly as material thickness varies without re-engineering the fixture.
When sizing, step up to the Ø20 bore if you need more push (157 N @0.5 MPa), or drop to the MIJ bumper-only series for lighter tasks, as there is no cushioned MICJ bore below 16 mm. The adjustable extend stop plus dual air cushions shine in fast set-position moves where you must dial in a precise forward endpoint and control impact without adding external shock absorbers. Mount via LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion (SDB pivot-block is not available on this adjustable variant). Remember the stop screw sets the end position but is not 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
This 16 mm bore cylinder uses an M5×0.8 port.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 10 mm (retract is unaffected), while a needle-set air cushion at both ends decelerates the piston near stroke ends to absorb high-speed shock. The cushion only decelerates and is not a brake; the cylinder cannot hold a load on air loss and will drift, so use an external rod lock for holding. This SKU has no magnet and cannot take sensors.
