About the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X50-50S
Trim the forward stop by up to 50 mm on site without swapping cylinders, and let the adjustable air cushion at both ends soak up high-speed shock. This AirTAC MICJ16X50-50S is a double-acting, round-body stainless-steel mini cylinder with a built-in magnet (-S) for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors.
It conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for easy bracket drops. The external screw sets the extend end position only; it is not a mid-stroke lock.

| Stroke | 50 mm |
| Acting type | Double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke + cushion |
| Port size | M5×0.8 |
| Rod thread | M6×1.0 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 30 – 800 mm/s |

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 MICJ16X50-50S Is Used
High-Speed Diverting
Rapidly divert small items on a line at up to 800 mm/s, relying on the adjustable air cushion to decelerate the piston smoothly and prevent end-cap shock.
Sensor-Verified Ejection
Use the built-in magnet with a DMSG sensor to confirm the ejection stroke of light plastic widgets, adjusting the forward end position on the fly.
Is the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X50-50S the Right Cylinder?
Size both ways: the larger Ø20 bore pushes 157.0 N at 0.5 MPa if you need more force, while the smaller Ø8-Ø12 variants lack the adjustable air cushion entirely. Choose this Ø16 model when you need precise set-position moves at speed, as the needle cushion absorbs end-impact without bouncing.
The -S magnet enables position sensing, and you can mount via LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion (the SDB pivot-block is not available on this adjustable variant). Note that the cylinder drifts on air loss—the stop screw and cushion decelerate but do not lock the load, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for holding.
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 MICJ16X50-50S FAQ
The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 50 mm, while the needle-set air cushion at both ends decelerates the piston near the end of travel. The -S suffix means it has a magnet for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. It does not hold position on air loss, so use a pilot check valve for holding.
