The AirTAC Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ20X30-10 is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 30mm 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.
Trimming the forward end by up to 10 mm on site, the AirTAC MICJ20X30-10 lets you dial in a 20-30 mm extend position without swapping hardware. This double-acting stainless round-body mini cylinder pairs that external stop screw with a needle-adjustable air cushion at both ends, soaking up high-speed shock so you set the precise end point and control the impact.
Built with a 20 mm bore and a 1/8" port, it delivers 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, translating to a safe working load of roughly 94 N or about an 8 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild washdown corrosion, and the body drops directly into standard ISO 6432 mini-cylinder brackets. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors.

| 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 10 mm extend stop to clamp delicate 8 kg workpieces precisely, while the air cushion prevents harsh impacts at cycle end.
Set a repeatable 25 mm forward reach on the packaging line; the 157 N push force handles light cardboard without crushing the product.
Tune the extend position to route small items on a conveyor, using the stainless construction to resist mild splash during washdowns.
When sizing this 157 N @0.5 MPa bore, step down to the 16 mm version (100.5 N push) for lighter grips, or up to the 25 mm (245.3 N push) if you need heavier clamping. The 10 mm extend adjuster and dual cushions shine in fast set-position moves where hitting an exact forward spot without end-of-stroke bang is critical. For vertical loads, remember the piston drifts on air loss—the stop screw and cushion decelerate but do not lock; add an external pilot check valve for holding. Mount via LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion (SDB is unavailable here), and select the -S variant if you need 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 20-30 mm), while a needle valve adjusts the air cushion at both ends to decelerate high-speed moves. This SKU has no magnet for sensors, and the cushion/stop screw only decelerate—they do not lock or hold the load on air loss.
