About the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ20X160-10
Dial in a precise forward stop on-site with the AirTAC MICJ20X160-10, a stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder built for double-acting service. An external stop screw lets you shorten the extend end position by up to 10 mm, giving a usable forward travel of 150 to 160 mm without swapping hardware. The retract stroke remains full length. Because this is a cushioned variant, adjustable needle valves at both ends soak up high-speed shock to protect your tooling.
At 0.5 MPa the Ø20 bore delivers 157 N of push force and 131.9 N of pull, translating to a safe working load of roughly 94 N or a vertical lift of about 8 kg with a 2:1 margin. The 1/8" port and M8x1.25 male rod thread conform to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for easy bracket drops. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.

Where the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ20X160-10 Is Used
Light Part Ejection
Pushes light molded parts out of a fixture at speed, using the 10 mm extend trim to hit an exact ejection point while the air cushion absorbs the stop shock.
Transfer Diverter
Acts as a diverter arm on a packaging line, moving roughly 8 kg loads with its 157 N push force and decelerating smoothly via the adjustable cushion.
Carton Flap Folding
Folds light cardboard flaps on an automated packer, tuning the forward stop down 10 mm to avoid crushing the carton while cycling at high speed.
Is the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ20X160-10 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 160 mm stroke unit, step down to the Ø16 bore if your load is under 100 N, or move up to the Ø25 bore (245 N push @0.5 MPa) if you need more thrust. The adjustable stop plus dual air cushions shine in fast set-position moves where you must tune the forward impact. Speeds run 30-800 mm/s.
Remember the stop screw sets the end position but is not a mid-stroke lock; the piston will drift on air loss, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads. Mount via LB, FA, or TC brackets (SDB is unavailable here). If you need position sensing, select the -S magnet variant instead of this non-magnet SKU.
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 MICJ20X160-10 FAQ
This Ø20 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/8" port. At 0.5 MPa it provides 157 N push and 131.9 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it provides 219.8 N push and 184.7 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 10 mm (usable 150-160 mm), while the retract remains full. Adjustable air cushions at both ends decelerate the piston near stroke ends to absorb shock. This cylinder does not hold position on air loss and the screw is not a mid-stroke lock; use a pilot check valve for holding. This non-S SKU has no magnet for sensors.
