The AirTAC Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ20X80-50 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.
Dial in the exact forward stop on-site with the AirTAC MICJ20X80-50, a round-body stainless-steel mini cylinder that cuts the extend end position by up to 50 mm. You get a usable extend range of 30-80 mm without swapping hardware, while the full retract stroke remains intact. The external screw sets the end position but does not function as a mid-stroke lock.
Built with a mildly corrosion-resistant stainless barrel and rod, this double-acting ISO 6432 unit pushes 157 N and pulls 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa. A needle-set adjustable air cushion at both ends soaks up high-speed shock near the stroke ends. This SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors; order the -S variant for position sensing. The 1/8" port and M8x1.25 male rod thread match standard mini-cylinder interfaces.

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.
Secure parts of varying widths by tuning the 30-80 mm extend stop on the fly, using the 157 N push force to clamp without crushing delicate components.
Snap the gate out to deflect items on a fast line, relying on the adjustable air cushion to absorb the shock at the extend end without slamming.
Tuck flaps on different box sizes using the 50 mm extend adjustment, moving about 8 kg of mechanism mass safely at high cycle rates.
Size this bore carefully against your load. The 20 mm bore delivers a safe working load of roughly 94 N (about 60% of the 157 N push force at 0.5 MPa), meaning it moves about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. If your application requires less force, the smaller 16 mm bore offers 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa but lacks the air cushion feature. If you need more power, stepping up to the 25 mm bore provides 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa.
The adjustable extend stop and dual air cushions shine in fast set-position moves where you must repeatedly hit a precise forward spot and control impact. Remember that a plain cylinder does not hold its load on air loss; the piston drifts, and the cushion only decelerates near the end. For a held load, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve. Mount using LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets, as the SDB pivot-block is not available on this adjustable variant.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder uses a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. It generates 157 N push and 131.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 219.8 N push and 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 50 mm (usable extend 30-80 mm), while the retract stroke remains full. A needle valve adjusts the air cushion at both ends to decelerate the piston near stroke ends, but it is not a mid-stroke lock. This specific SKU has no magnet and cannot take sensors; you need the -S variant for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
