The AirTAC Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ32X160-100 is a genuine double acting, adjustable stroke + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 160mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments.
Dial in your forward stop on-site without swapping hardware: the AirTAC MICJ32X160-100 uses an external screw to shorten the extend stroke by up to 100 mm, giving a usable forward range of 60 to 160 mm. This double-acting, round-body stainless steel mini cylinder pairs that positional flexibility with a needle-set adjustable air cushion at both ends to soak up high-speed shock.
Driven by a 32 mm bore and a 1/8" port, it delivers 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown, making it a robust choice for demanding cycles. This specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors; choose the -S variant if you require position detection.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MI/MIC (ISO 6432) datasheet. Barrel & rod: stainless steel (round-body, riveted construction). Thread options: PT (blank) / G. Note: the Ø32 bore is a larger, non-ISO-6432 size.

| 0.5 MPa | 402 N | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | 484 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 82 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.
Tune the 100 mm extend stop to match varying package sizes on the fly while the air cushion silently absorbs the impact of fast 402.2 N routing strokes.
Set a precise 60 to 160 mm forward reach for different carton depths. The stainless build handles dusty or mildly humid packing environments effortlessly.
Apply up to 241 N of safe working pressure for seating small components. Adjust the needle valve to prevent bounce when the rod reaches the modified endpoint.
When sizing this unit, consider the force step: the smaller 25 mm bore yields 245.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger 40 mm bore provides 628.3 N. The MICJ32X160-100 hits a sweet spot, offering a safe working load of roughly 241 N (about 60% of its 0.5 MPa push force) or a vertical lift capacity near 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The 100 mm extend adjuster is ideal for fast set-position moves where you need to tune the endpoint without mechanical rework.
Remember that the external screw sets the end position but acts purely as a stop, not a mid-stroke lock. The cylinder will drift on air loss, and the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of travel. For mounting, you can use LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets, but the SDB pivot-block is not available on this adjustable-stroke build.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" air port. At 0.5 MPa it provides 402.2 N of push force and 345.6 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 563 N and pull to 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 100 mm, while a needle valve adjusts the air cushion at both ends to decelerate the piston at high speeds. This SKU has no magnet and cannot accept sensors; you need the -S version for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The stop screw is not a mid-stroke lock.
