The AirTAC Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ20X50-20S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 50mm 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 the forward stop on-site without swapping hardware using the AirTAC MICJ20X50-20S, a stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder that shortens the extend stroke by up to 20 mm. The external stop screw sets the end position between 30 and 50 mm, while a needle-adjustable air cushion at both ends soaks up high-speed shock. An integrated piston magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for position sensing.
Built with a corrosion-resistant stainless barrel and rod, this double-acting ISO 6432 mini cylinder delivers 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa via its 1/8" port. It provides a computed safe working load of roughly 94 N, meaning it can vertically lift about 8 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The cushion only decelerates the piston near the ends and does not lock the load.

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.
Tunes the 20 mm extend stop to catch fast-moving cartons on a conveyor, letting the dual air cushions absorb the impact without slamming.
Applies up to 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa to seat small bearings, with the adjustable forward position ensuring consistent press depth.
Raises an 8 kg access flap using the 0.5 MPa thrust, relying on the needle cushion to prevent end-of-stroke bounce.
When sizing this 20 mm bore, step down to an MICJ16 for lighter duty (100.5 N push @0.5 MPa) or step up to an MICJ25 for heavier loads (245.3 N push @0.5 MPa). The MICJ20X50-20S is ideal for fast, settable-position moves where you need to tune the extend end without changing the whole actuator. Mount using standard ISO 6432 brackets like LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion, noting the SDB pivot block is not offered on this adjustable variant.
Remember that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss, and the stop screw or air cushion only decelerates the piston rather than acting as a mid-stroke lock. To hold a load securely during a pressure drop, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The -S magnet enables reed or electronic sensors for precise end-of-stroke confirmation.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder uses a 1/8" port and generates 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 20 mm on-site (retract remains full), while the needle-adjustable air cushion at both ends decelerates the piston at high speed. The -S indicates a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors; the cushion and screw do not lock the load mid-stroke.
