About the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X50-20S
Dial in a precise forward stop on-site with the AirTAC MICJ16X50-20S, a 16mm bore round-body stainless mini cylinder. An external stop screw shortens the extend end position by up to 20mm, giving a usable 30-50mm forward travel without swapping hardware. A needle-set adjustable air cushion at both ends soaks up high-speed shock, letting you set the position and control the impact.
The stainless steel barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. Built with a piston magnet, this -S model supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors for position detection. It uses an M5×0.8 port and conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for easy bracket integration.

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 MICJ16X50-20S Is Used
Light Parts Ejection
Ejects small molded parts at speed, using the 20mm extend trim to hit the exact drop point while the dual air cushions absorb the impact without slamming.
Carton Flap Folding
Folds light cardboard flaps on a packaging line, relying on the 5kg vertical lift capacity and fine-tuning the forward stop to prevent crushing the box.
Lab Sample Routing
Pushes sample trays into a testing station where the stainless build resists humidity, and the on-site stroke adjustment dials in the exact presentation distance.
Is the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X50-20S the Right Cylinder?
For lighter duty, the standard MIJ bumper cylinder steps down, lacking the air cushion. Stepping up to the 20mm bore MICJ raises the 0.5MPa push force to 157N if this 100.5N unit is undersized. Choose this adjustable-stroke variant when you need rapid, settable-position moves and want to tune out end-of-stroke shock without adding external shock absorbers.
The stop screw sets the extend endpoint but is not a mid-stroke lock; the piston will drift on air loss, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended load. Use LB, FA or TC mounts, as the SDB pivot block is unavailable here. The built-in magnet pairs directly with CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches.
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 MICJ16X50-20S FAQ
The theoretical max force is 20.5kgf at 1.0MPa. This 16mm bore model uses an M5×0.8 port.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 20mm; retract remains full. Needle valves adjust the air cushions at both ends to decelerate the piston near stroke end. The cushion only decelerates and the screw sets the endpoint, neither acts as a mid-stroke lock. The -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors.
