About the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ20X160-100S
Dial in a precise forward stop on-site with the AirTAC MICJ20X160-100S, a stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder featuring a 100 mm adjustable extend stroke. An external stop screw trims the forward end position down to a 60 mm usable extension, while the full retract remains intact. The built-in adjustable air cushion at both ends soaks up high-speed impact, letting you set the exact position and control the end-of-stroke shock simultaneously.
Driven by a 20 mm bore and a 1/8" air port, this double-acting actuator delivers 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, yielding a safe working load of roughly 94 N or a 2:1 vertical lift capacity of about 8 kg. The stainless barrel and piston rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it is fully ready for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches.

Where the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ20X160-100S Is Used
Divert Gate Actuation
Pushes a light routing gate at high speed on a packaging line. The 100 mm extend adjustment lets you fine-tune the gate open angle on-site without machining spacers.
Light Part Pressing
Applies a 94 N safe working load to seat small electronic components. The adjustable needle cushion prevents harsh impact when the ram reaches the bottom stop.
Vertical Lift Stop
Raises an 8 kg tote using the 2:1 safety margin. The external stop screw sets the exact raise height, while the -S magnet triggers a DMSG sensor to confirm position.
Is the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ20X160-100S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, compare the forces both ways: stepping down to the Ø16 bore drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 100.5 N, while stepping up to the Ø25 bore raises it to 245.3 N. The Ø20 hits a practical middle ground for moderate pushing tasks. The adjustable stop screw and dual air cushions are ideal for fast, settable-position moves, but remember the screw only sets the end position—it is not a mid-stroke lock. The air cushion strictly decelerates near the stroke end.
This cylinder uses the ISO 6432 mini-cylinder mounting interface, dropping cleanly into standard mini brackets and clevises. You can use LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion mounts, but note the SDB pivot-block is not available on this adjustable variant. If your application must hold a load vertically on air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve, as the piston will drift without air pressure.
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 MICJ20X160-100S FAQ
This 20 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" air port and delivers 157 N push / 131.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 219.8 N push / 184.7 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 100 mm (usable extend 60-160 mm), while adjustable air cushions at both ends absorb high-speed shock. The -S magnet enables CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The stop screw is not a mid-stroke lock, and the cylinder will drift on air loss—use an external rod lock for load holding.
