About the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X80-20
Trim the forward stop by up to 20 mm on site with the AirTAC MICJ16X80-20, a double-acting round-body stainless mini cylinder. A needle-set adjustable air cushion at both ends soaks up high-speed shock, letting you set the position and control the impact. The external screw shortens the extend end only, yielding a usable forward range of 60-80 mm, while retract remains the full 80 mm. Built with a stainless-steel barrel and rod, it resists mild corrosion and washdown environments.
This Ø16 bore conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface, dropping directly into standard mini brackets and clevises. Air ports are M5×0.8. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors without upgrading to the -S variant.

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 MICJ16X80-20 Is Used
Precision Stop Trimming
Dial in the exact 60-80 mm extend position for a 5 kg pick-and-place head without swapping cylinders, relying on the 20 mm external screw to set the forward stop.
High-Speed Cushioning
Prevent end-of-stroke impact on rapid 30-800 mm/s transfers by tuning the needle adjustable air cushion, safely moving a 60 N payload.
Is the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X80-20 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this bore, step down to a bumper-only MIJ for lighter tasks, or step up to the Ø20 bore if you need more push (157 N at 0.5 MPa). The MICJ16X80-20 shines in fast set-position moves where the 20 mm extend trim and dual cushions prevent end-of-stroke banging. Mount via LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion, but note the SDB pivot-block is not available on this adjustable variant. Remember that the stop screw sets the end position but is not a mid-stroke lock; the cylinder drifts on air loss, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended load.
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 MICJ16X80-20 FAQ
This double-acting cylinder pushes at 100.5 N and pulls at 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, push is 140.7 N and pull is 120.9 N. The theoretical max force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port is M5×0.8.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 20 mm, while a needle valve adjusts the air cushion at both ends to decelerate high-speed moves. This SKU has no magnet, so it cannot take a sensor. The cushion only decelerates near the end and does not lock; the piston drifts on air loss, so use an external rod lock for holding.
