The AirTAC MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ16X80-40S is a genuine double acting, double rod, adjustable stroke + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 80mm 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 40 mm on site without swapping hardware using this stainless-steel, round-body mini cylinder. The MICJ16X80-40S pairs that external extend adjuster with a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends, letting you dial in the exact forward position from 40 to 80 mm while soaking up high-speed shock. It is a double-acting ISO 6432 unit rated for 30-800 mm/s, and the -S suffix means a built-in piston magnet is present for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches.
The stainless barrel and Ø6 mm rod resist mild washdown corrosion. Air enters via an M5×0.8 port, and the male M6x1.0 rod thread makes end-of-rod tooling simple.

| 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.
Shoots small plastic parts out of a mold cavity, using the 40 mm extend trim to hit the exact drop clearance without rebuilding the fixture.
Pushes carton flaps clear at high cycle rates, relying on the dual air cushions to prevent end-of-stroke hammering on the 80 mm travel.
Advances a testing probe against delicate electronics, using the 5.1 kg safe lift capacity and needle-tuned cushioning for a soft, repeatable touch.
The combination of an external stop screw and dual adjustable air cushions shines in fast set-position moves where you need to trim the extend end without re-engineering the cell. Use the -S magnet with CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors for end-position confirmation.
Mount using standard ISO 6432 brackets (LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion) or CA/U/R/CM back covers; the SDB pivot block is not offered on this adjustable variant. Remember that the stop screw sets the end position but is not a mid-stroke lock—the piston will drift on air loss, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder uses an M5×0.8 air port. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 140.7 N and pulls 120.9 N. The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 40 mm (usable forward range 40-80 mm); retract remains full. Needle valves adjust the air cushion at both ends to decelerate the piston near stroke ends. The cushion is not a brake, and the cylinder will drift on air loss—use an external rod lock to hold a load. The -S magnet enables CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
