About the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X40-40
Dial in the exact forward stop on site with the AirTAC MICJ16X40-40, a 16mm bore round-body stainless steel mini cylinder. An external screw trims the extend end position by up to 40mm, while a needle-set adjustable air cushion at both ends soaks up high-speed shock.
Built with a mildly corrosion-resistant stainless barrel and rod, it handles washdown environments and drops into standard ISO 6432 mini-cylinder brackets. It runs at 30-800mm/s and uses an M5×0.8 port with an M6x1.0 male rod thread. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors; order the -S variant if you need position detection.

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 MICJ16X40-40 Is Used
Micro-Clamp Actuation
Holds delicate electronic parts securely.
Small Part Diverting
Pushes lightweight parcels on a packaging line. The adjustable air cushion absorbs the impact of fast 30-800mm/s strokes, and the forward stop screw sets the exact divert position.
Lab Sample Positioning
Moves test tubes or trays into a scanning station. The stainless build resists mild corrosion from washdowns, and the 40mm extend trim fine-tunes the resting spot on site.
Is the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X40-40 the Right Cylinder?
For lighter duty, AirTAC does not offer a smaller cushioned MICJ bore, so you would drop to the MIJ16 bumper-only series. Choose this 16mm bore when you need precise set-position moves at speed, where the adjustable forward stop and twin air cushions prevent end-of-stroke banging.
The stop screw sets the end position but is not a mid-stroke lock; the piston will drift on air loss, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended load. Mount via LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion (SDB pivot-block is unavailable on this adjustable variant), and remember this non-magnet SKU cannot accept sensors.
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 MICJ16X40-40 FAQ
Its theoretical maximum force is 20.5kgf at 1.0MPa.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 40mm, and needle valves tune the adjustable air cushions at both ends to decelerate the piston before impact. The cushion only decelerates and is not a brake; the piston drifts on air loss. This SKU has no magnet, so it cannot take CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
