About the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X50-40S
Trim the forward stop by up to 40 mm on site without swapping hardware using this stainless-steel, round-body mini cylinder. It pairs an external extend adjuster with a variable air cushion at both ends, letting you dial in the exact 10-50 mm forward position while soaking up high-speed shock. The built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors for exact tracking.
The riveted stainless construction resists mild corrosion and washdown environments.

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 MICJ16X50-40S Is Used
Light-Part Ejection
Uses the 40 mm extend trim to dial in the exact ejection stroke for delicate plastic parts, relying on the dual air cushions to prevent impact bounce at high speed.
Package Diverting
Pushes small cartons on a conveyor with a safe 60 N working load, adjusting the forward stop on-site to match varying box widths without changing brackets.
Is the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X50-40S the Right Cylinder?
For lighter duty, the MIJ bumper-only series lacks the air cushion needed for high-speed moves; stepping up to the Ø20 MICJ raises the 0.5 MPa push force to 157 N. This Ø16 model shines when you need a settable extend position combined with shock absorption at cycle speeds of 30-800 mm/s. Mount it using LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets, as the SDB pivot block is not offered on adjustable-stroke variants.
The -S suffix enables CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for precise end-of-stroke detection. Remember that the stop screw and needle cushion only decelerate near the stroke end; they do not hold position. If you need to lock a load vertically during air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
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 MICJ16X50-40S FAQ
This Ø16 bore cylinder uses an M5×0.8 port and a 6 mm rod.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 40 mm (usable range 10-50 mm), while needle valves adjust the air cushions at both ends to absorb high-speed shock. The -S magnet enables CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The cushion only decelerates; it does not lock the piston, so use an external rod lock to hold loads on air loss.
