The AirTAC MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X50-30STC is a genuine double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 50mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments. Its ISO 6432 mounting interface fits standard ISO 6432 mini-cylinder mounting interfaces.
Trim the forward stop by up to 30 mm on site without swapping cylinders using the AirTAC MICJ16X50-30STC. This double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder pairs that adjustable extend stroke with a variable air cushion at both ends, letting you dial in the exact end position from 20 to 50 mm while soaking up high-speed shock.
The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown, and the built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors. Air connects via an M5×0.8 port.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MI/MIC (ISO 6432) datasheet. Barrel & rod: stainless steel (round-body, riveted construction). Thread options: PT (blank) / G.
| 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).

MI-family variants: MI / MIC (double acting ±cushion), MSI / MTI (single acting push / pull), MID / MICD (double rod ±cushion), MIJ / MICJ (double rod, adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / R / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
Ejects small plastic parts at speed. The 30 mm extend adjuster dials in the exact push distance, while the air cushion absorbs the end-of-stroke impact.
Folds carton flaps on a packaging line.
Diverts sample tubes with a gentle stop. The stainless construction resists lab washdown, and the -S magnet works with DMSG sensors for position feedback.
For lighter pushes, the MIJ bumper-only series is the next step down, lacking this cushion. If you need more force, stepping up to the Ø20 MICJ yields 157.0 N at 0.5 MPa. Choose this Ø16 model when you need fast, settable-position moves under 60 N. The TC trunnion mounting is included, but note that the SDB pivot-block is not available on this adjustable-stroke variant.
Remember that the stop screw sets the extend end position but is not a mid-stroke lock. The cylinder will drift on air loss, and the air cushion only decelerates near the stroke end. To hold a load securely, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This double-acting 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 30 mm, giving a usable forward range of 20-50 mm. A needle-set air cushion at both ends decelerates the piston near the ends to absorb high-speed shock. The cylinder does not hold position on air loss; use an external rod lock for that.
