About the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ20X165-10S
Dial in a precise forward stop on site with the AirTAC MICJ20X165-10S. This double-acting, round-body stainless-steel mini cylinder lets an external screw shorten the extend stroke by up to 10 mm, giving a usable forward range of 155-165 mm without swapping hardware. It pairs this settable stop with an adjustable air cushion at both ends, soaking up high-speed shock so you control both the position and the impact.
Built to the ISO 6432 mounting interface, it drops into standard mini brackets and uses a 1/8" port with an M8x1.25 male rod thread. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild washdown corrosion. 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 built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors.

Where the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ20X165-10S Is Used
Light Part Clamping
Clamp small machined parts securely, using the 10 mm extend adjustment to dial in the exact forward stop and the air cushion to soften the impact at speed.
Package Diverting
Push light cartons off a belt with 157 N of force, tuning the extend position on the fly to match varying package widths without changing cylinders.
Vertical Lift Stops
Lift roughly 8 kg loads through a 155-165 mm range, relying on the adjustable cushion to prevent slamming at the top of the stroke.
Is the Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ20X165-10S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 20 mm bore, step down to an MICJ16 for lighter jobs (100.5 N push @0.5 MPa) or up to an MICJ25 for heavier pulls (245.3 N push @0.5 MPa). The 10 mm extend trim and dual needle cushions shine in fast set-position moves where you must tune the forward stop and decelerate the load without adding external shock absorbers.
Because the stop screw only sets the end position and the cushion only decelerates, the piston will drift on air loss. Use an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you need to hold a suspended load. For mounting, choose LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion (SDB is not offered here), and rely on the -S magnet for position sensing.
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 MICJ20X165-10S FAQ
This 20 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/8" port. It generates 157 N push and 131.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 219.8 N push and 184.7 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 10 mm (retract stays full), while needle valves adjust the air cushion at both ends to decelerate high-speed moves. The -S magnet enables CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. It does not hold position on air loss, so add a rod lock for suspended loads.
