The AirTAC Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ20X80-30S is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 80mm 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.
Trim the forward stop by up to 30 mm on site without swapping hardware using the AirTAC MICJ20X80-30S, a double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder. The external screw shortens the extend end position (usable forward range 50-80 mm) while a needle-adjustable air cushion at both ends soaks up high-speed shock. The built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for exact position detection.
Delivering 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this Ø20 bore actuator handles a safe working load of roughly 94 N, moving about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. It features an M8x1.25 male rod thread, a 1/8" port, and a stainless barrel and rod for mild washdown resistance. It conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for standard mini brackets.

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 30 mm extend trim to clamp delicate 8 kg electronic assemblies precisely, relying on the dual air cushions to absorb the impact of rapid 800 mm/s moves.
Sort light packages on a line by tuning the forward stroke on the fly; the 157 N push force easily pushes items without overshooting, thanks to the end cushions.
Press film lids in a damp environment using the stainless steel construction, setting the exact 50-80 mm extend position while the magnet triggers a DMSG sensor.
Size this 157 N @0.5 MPa actuator against the adjacent bores: step down to the Ø16 (100.5 N push) if the load is lighter, or step up to the Ø25 (245.3 N push) for heavier fixtures. The 30 mm extend adjuster plus dual air cushions excel in fast set-position moves where you must dial in a precise forward stop and decelerate smoothly without swapping cylinders.
For load holding, note that the stop screw sets the end position but is not a mid-stroke lock; the piston drifts on air loss and the cushion only decelerates near the stroke end. Use an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended load. Mount via LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion (SDB is not offered on this variant), and use the -S magnet for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder pushes 157 N and pulls 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa, and pushes 219.8 N / pulls 184.7 N at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical max force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 30 mm, while needle valves adjust the air cushions at both ends to decelerate high-speed impacts. The -S magnet enables CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. The cushion only decelerates and the screw sets the end stop; neither holds the load on air loss, so use a pilot check valve for suspended loads.
