About the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X40-30
Dial in the forward stop on site without swapping hardware: the MICJ16X40-30 uses an external screw to shorten the extend end by up to 30 mm, giving a usable 10-40 mm forward travel while retract stays full. The adjustable air cushion at both ends soaks up high-speed shock so you set the position and control the impact.
Built as a stainless-steel, riveted round-body mini cylinder, the Ø16 bore resists mild corrosion and washdown. It conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for standard mini brackets. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take 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 MICJ16X40-30 Is Used
Light Parts Ejector
Ejects small plastic parts at speed, using the 30 mm extend trim to hit the exact drop point while the air cushion absorbs the stop shock under the 60 N safe load.
Carton Flap Tucker
Tucks light carton flaps precisely before taping, relying on the adjustable forward stop to accommodate box height variations without retooling.
Lab Dispense Head
Positions a fluid dispense nozzle accurately using the trimmed extend stroke, benefiting from the stainless build and washdown resistance in lab environments.
Is the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X40-30 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this Ø16 when you need fast set-position moves under 60 N where the stop screw and needle cushion excel. The stop screw sets the end position but is not a mid-stroke lock; the piston drifts on air loss, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a load.
Mount via LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion (SDB pivot-block is unavailable on this adjustable variant). Air porting is M5×0.8. If you need position sensing, select the -S magnet variant instead, as this base SKU cannot accept a sensor.
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 MICJ16X40-30 FAQ
This double-acting cylinder pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa, and pushes 140.7 N / pulls 120.9 N at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical max 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 30 mm on site, while a needle-set adjustable air cushion at both ends decelerates the piston near stroke ends. The cushion is not a brake or lock; the cylinder cannot hold a load on air loss. This SKU has no magnet, so it cannot take sensors.
