About the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X300-20
Trimming the forward stop by up to 20 mm on site, this AirTAC round-body stainless mini cylinder lets you dial in a 280-300 mm extend position without swapping hardware. The external screw sets the extend end only, while a needle-adjustable air cushion at both ends soaks up high-speed shock to protect your tooling.
Built with a stainless-steel barrel and Ø6 mm piston rod for mild washdown resistance, it conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for easy bracket drops. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.

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 MICJ16X300-20 Is Used
Light Parts Ejection
Pushes small plastic parts out of a mold using a 5.1 kg vertical lift margin, using the 20 mm extend trim to dial the exact ejection reach without crashing the tooling.
Package Diverter Arm
Actuates a lightweight routing flap on a packaging line, relying on the dual air cushions to silently absorb the impact of high-speed 60 N working load stops.
Sensor Probe Positioning
Extends a testing probe 280 mm to contact a PC board, using the adjustable forward stop to fine-tune the touch depth across different board thicknesses.
Is the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X300-20 the Right Cylinder?
For lighter duties, the MIJ series relies on a fixed bumper and lacks this needle cushion, making the MICJ16 the smallest option here for controlled deceleration. If your move needs more push, stepping up to the Ø20 bore raises the 0.5 MPa push force to 157 N. The M5×0.8 port matches standard mini fittings.
The adjustable stop excels in fast set-position moves where you must tune the exact forward landing. Remember the cylinder drifts on air loss—the stop screw and cushion decelerate the stroke but do not lock the load mid-travel. Use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for holding. Mount via LB, FA, or TC (SDB is unavailable), and select a -S variant if you need sensing.
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 MICJ16X300-20 FAQ
This Ø16 mm cylinder uses an M5×0.8 port. The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 20 mm, letting you set the forward end position on site (retract remains full). The adjustable air cushion at both ends decelerates the piston near stroke end to absorb shock. This SKU has no magnet and cannot take sensors; the -S version adds a magnet for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches.
