The AirTAC Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ20X250-50 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 on-site with the AirTAC MICJ20X250-50, a stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder that shortens the extend end position by up to 50 mm via an external screw. The usable extend range becomes 200-250 mm, while retract remains a full 250 mm. A needle-set adjustable air cushion at both ends soaks up high-speed shock, letting you set the position and control the impact simultaneously.
Built with a stainless barrel and rod for mild washdown resistance, this double-acting ISO 6432 unit delivers 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. It yields a safe working load of about 94 N, easily moving roughly 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. It uses a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors without upgrading to the -S variant.

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 250 mm extend stroke by up to 50 mm to perfectly position a package diverter arm without machining new spacers, using the dual air cushions to absorb the impact of rapid routing shifts.
Adjust the forward stop on the fly to match different carton depths, relying on the 157 N push force to firmly press flaps while the end cushion prevents bounce at high cycling speeds.
Eject 8 kg machined components safely from a workstation, dialing the extend endpoint precisely to a dead-zone while the needle cushion decelerates the rod before the external stop hits.
When sizing this 20 mm bore, step down to an MICJ16 for lighter duty (100.5 N push @0.5 MPa) or up to an MICJ25 for heavier loads (245.3 N push @0.5 MPa). The 50 mm extend stop adjustment is ideal for fast set-position moves where you need to tune the forward endpoint without swapping hardware. Mount using standard LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets; the SDB pivot block is not offered on this adjustable variant.
Remember that the external stop screw sets the end position but acts as neither a mid-stroke lock nor a brake. If air pressure drops, the piston will drift, and the air cushion only decelerates the load near the stroke end. To hold a suspended load securely, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your circuit.
Quick checklist
This 20 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. At 0.5 MPa it provides 157 N push and 131.9 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it yields 219.8 N push and 184.7 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 50 mm, giving a usable forward range of 200-250 mm, while retract stays at the full 250 mm. Needle valves control an adjustable air cushion at both ends to decelerate high-speed moves. Because this SKU lacks a magnet, it cannot accept position sensors; choose the -S variant for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
