About the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X40-10
Trimming the forward stop by up to 10 mm on site, this stainless steel round-body mini cylinder lets you set exact extend positions without swapping hardware. The M5×0.8 port and M6x1.0 male rod thread drop into standard ISO 6432 mini-cylinder mounting dimensions.
Because the barrel and piston rod are stainless, the build resists mild corrosion and washdown conditions. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take CMSG, DMSG or 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 MICJ16X40-10 Is Used
Gate Diversion
Sort light cartons on a line by extending the 6 mm rod to a tuned intermediate stop, relying on the air cushion to absorb the impact at speed.
Lab Sample Positioning
Move test tubes into a scanning zone with a 5.1 kg vertical lift margin, using the stainless construction to withstand wipe-down chemicals.
Is the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X40-10 the Right Cylinder?
If you need less force, the smaller bores in the MIJ series only offer a bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, so this 16 mm bore is the entry point for tuning end-of-stroke shock. Stepping up to the 20 mm bore raises the push force to 157 N at 0.5 MPa if your load exceeds the 60 N safe working window. Use the 10 mm extend trim and cushion needles when you need fast, repeatable set-position moves without crashing the tooling. Mount via LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion since the SDB pivot-block is not offered on adjustable-stroke variants. The stop screw only sets the end position—it is not a mid-stroke lock, and 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 MICJ16X40-10 FAQ
This double-acting cylinder pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa, and pushes 140.7 N and pulls 120.9 N at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses an M5×0.8 air port.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 10 mm (usable extend 30-40 mm), while needle valves adjust the air cushion at both ends to decelerate the piston near stroke end. The cushion is not a brake, and the cylinder will drift on air loss—use an external rod lock to hold a load. This non-S SKU has no magnet for sensors.
