The AirTAC Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ20X30-20S 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.
Dial in a precise forward stop on-site with the AirTAC MICJ20X30-20S, a stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder that lets you shorten the extend stroke by up to 20 mm via an external screw. The built-in magnet enables position sensing, while adjustable air cushions at both ends soak up high-speed shock. It delivers a solid 157 N push force at 0.5 MPa, yielding a safe working load of roughly 94 N or a vertical lift capacity of about 8 kg with a 2:1 margin.
Built with a corrosion-resistant stainless barrel and rod, this double-acting unit conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for straightforward bracket integration. It features an 8 mm piston rod, an M8x1.25 male rod thread, and a 1/8" air port. The cushion needle ensures smooth deceleration near stroke end, though it acts purely as a shock absorber rather than a mid-stroke lock.

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.
Securely clamps delicate electronic housings, using the 20 mm extend adjustment to set the exact forward stop and the air cushion to prevent impact damage at fast cycle speeds.
Routes lightweight packages on a line by extending a 94 N working load, relying on the adjustable stop to fine-tune the gate angle without swapping hardware.
Folds carton flaps at high speed, using the needle-set cushion to decelerate the 8 kg vertical lift smoothly before the end of stroke, avoiding jarring stops.
When sizing this 20 mm bore, compare it directly against adjacent options: the smaller 16 mm bore provides 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 25 mm bore yields 245.3 N. Choose this model when you need 157 N of push force combined with on-the-fly extend position tuning and high-speed cushioning. The external screw adjusts the forward end position only and does not function as a mid-stroke lock; if your application must hold a load vertically during air loss, install an external pilot check valve or rod lock.
Mounting flexibility includes LB foot, FA flange, and TC trunnion styles, but note the SDB pivot block is not offered on this adjustable variant. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you can directly mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for precise end-of-stroke detection.
Quick checklist
This 20 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" air port and delivers 157 N push / 131.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 219.8 N push / 184.7 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum force of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 20 mm, while the needle-set air cushion at both ends decelerates the piston near stroke end. The -S suffix means a magnet is included for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The cushion only absorbs shock and does not lock the piston; the cylinder will drift on air loss, so use an external rod lock for holding.
