The AirTAC Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ20X250-20S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 250mm 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.
Dial in a precise forward stop without swapping hardware using this stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder. The external screw trims the extend stroke by up to 20 mm, giving a usable 230-250 mm forward range, while the needle-set air cushion at both ends absorbs high-speed impact. It operates at 30-800 mm/s and features a built-in magnet for position sensing.
Built to the ISO 6432 mounting interface, the Ø20 bore uses an M8x1.25 male rod thread and a 1/8" port. It delivers 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making the safe working load roughly 94 N or about 8 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, and the -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches.

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.
Trim the 20 mm extend stop to perfectly position a package stopper arm on a conveyor, letting the air cushion absorb the impact of fast-moving items.
Securely tuck flaps on a packaging line using the 157 N push force, fine-tuning the extend end to accommodate varying box widths without changing cylinders.
Press small bearings or pins with an 8 kg vertical lift capacity, using the adjustable forward position to dial in precise downward travel limits.
For lighter tasks, the Ø16 bore yields 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa; if you need more power, stepping up to the Ø25 bore provides 245.3 N. This Ø20 model fits perfectly in the middle, giving 157 N push and 131.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The adjustable stop screw is ideal for fast set-position moves, but remember it only sets the end position—it is not a mid-stroke lock. The piston will drift on air loss, so use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for held loads.
You can mount this cylinder using LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets, plus CA, U, R, or CM back covers. Note that the SDB pivot-block is not available on this adjustable variant. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you can directly mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for reed or electronic switching.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder uses a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. 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 end position by up to 20 mm on-site, while the retract stroke remains full. Needle valves adjust the air cushion at both ends to decelerate the piston near the ends, reducing shock at high speeds. The -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
