The AirTAC Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ20X160-50 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 50 mm on site without swapping cylinders using the AirTAC MICJ20X160-50. This double-acting, round-body stainless-steel mini cylinder pairs that adjustable extend stroke with a needle-set air cushion at both ends to soak up high-speed shock. The 1/8" port and M8x1.25 male rod thread match standard ISO 6432 mini-cylinder mounting dimensions for easy bracket drops.
Delivering 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it handles a safe working load of roughly 94 N or lifts about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors; choose the -S variant for position sensing.

| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 32 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

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.
Dial in the 110-160 mm extend stop to push 8 kg packages precisely on a conveyor without re-engineering the mount.
Use the dual adjustable air cushions to absorb shock at 800 mm/s while timing the 50 mm extend trim for part release.
Leverage the stainless round-body build to halt 94 N workpiece loads in damp packaging areas without rusting.
When sizing this 20 mm bore, step down to a 16 mm bore for lighter 100 N push tasks, or step up to a 25 mm bore for 245 N when this model maxes out. The 50 mm extend adjuster is ideal for fast set-position moves, letting you dial in the 110-160 mm usable forward length. 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. Mount via LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion (SDB pivot-block is not available), and use the CA, U, R, or CM back covers to fit your frame.
Quick checklist
This 20 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" port and generates 157 N push / 131.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 219.8 N push / 184.7 N pull at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical max of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 50 mm (retract stays full), while the needle-set air cushions at both ends only decelerate the piston near stroke end. It does not hold position on air loss, and this non-S SKU cannot take magnetic sensors.
