The AirTAC Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ20X160-10S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 160mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments. Its ISO 6432 mounting interface makes it a compact drop-in for standard mini-cylinder fixtures.
Trim the forward stop by up to 10 mm on-site without swapping hardware using this stainless-steel, round-body mini cylinder. The MICJ20X160-10S pairs that external extend adjuster with a needle-set air cushion at both ends to soak up high-speed shock, letting you dial in the exact 150-160 mm end position while controlling impact. An integrated magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors for position detection.
Built with a corrosion-resistant stainless barrel and rod, this double-acting ISO 6432 unit delivers 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa through its 1/8" port. It provides a computed safe working load of roughly 94 N, meaning it can vertically lift about 8 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The M8x1.25 male rod thread and 30-800 mm/s speed range make it highly versatile for demanding routing.

MI-family variants: MI / MIC (double acting ±cushion), MSI / MTI (single acting push / pull), MID / MICD (double rod ±cushion), MIJ / MICJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / R / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
Sorts light goods on a conveyor by extending 155 mm to deflect cartons, using the 10 mm adjuster to fine-tune the push distance and the air cushion to prevent end-impact at high speed.
Applies up to 94 N of safe working force to seat bearings or pins, relying on the adjustable forward stop to set precise depth without reprogramming machine logic.
Raises an 8 kg access panel using the 157 N @0.5 MPa thrust, while the needle cushion absorbs the kinetic energy at the top end to protect the assembly.
When sizing this 20 mm bore, step down to a 16 mm variant for lighter loads (100.5 N push @0.5 MPa) or up to a 25 mm model if you need more thrust (245.3 N push @0.5 MPa). The adjustable extend stop and dual air cushions are ideal for fast-paced applications where you need to set a precise forward position and decelerate smoothly without slamming. You can mount via LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion, but note the SDB pivot-block is not available on this adjustable variant.
Keep in mind the stop screw sets the end position but does not function as a mid-stroke lock. The cylinder will drift on air loss, and the cushion only decelerates near the stroke end. To hold a load securely during pressure loss, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. The -S magnet enables electronic or reed switch sensing.
Quick checklist
This 20 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/8" 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 10 mm (usable range 150-160 mm), while the needle-set air cushion at both ends decelerates the piston near stroke ends. The -S magnet allows CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. It does not hold position on air loss; use an external rod lock for that.
