The AirTAC Airtac MICJ Adjustable Mini Cylinder MICJ32X160-30 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 the forward stop without swapping hardware: this stainless round-body mini cylinder lets an external screw shorten the extend end position by up to 30 mm on site, yielding a usable forward range of 130-160 mm. The AirTAC MICJ32X160-30 is a double-acting actuator paired with an adjustable air cushion at both ends to soak up high-speed shock, letting you set the position and control the impact simultaneously.
The Ø32 mm bore uses a 1/8" port and a Ø12 mm piston rod with an M10x1.25 male thread, delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. This translates to a safe working load of roughly 241 N, or a vertical lift capacity of about 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Built with a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mild washdown resistance, this specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot host position sensors; adding the -S variant enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.

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.

| 0.7 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.
Delivers 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa to seat small bearings, while the 30 mm extend adjustment dials in the exact crush depth without re-engineering the head.
Snaps a 160 mm stroke diverter arm into place at 800 mm/s, relying on the dual adjustable air cushions to decelerate the 32 mm bore smoothly and prevent impact wear.
Provides a 241 N safe working load to fold heavy corrugated flaps, trimming the extend stroke by 30 mm to clear varying package heights on the fly.
When sizing this 32 mm bore actuator, compare it directly against adjacent options: stepping down to the Ø25 bore drops your 0.5 MPa push force to 245.3 N, while stepping up to the Ø40 bore increases it to 628.3 N. Choose this model when you need fast, repeatable set-position moves where the 30 mm extend trim and dual adjustable cushions prevent end-of-stroke banging.
Remember that the stop screw sets the forward end position but acts purely as a physical stop, not a mid-stroke lock. The cylinder will drift and cannot hold a load on air loss, so integrate an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for suspended loads. Mount via LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion (the SDB pivot block is unavailable for this adjustable variant), and use back covers CA, U, R, or CM to suit your layout.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore double-acting cylinder features a 1/8" port and generates 402.2 N push / 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 563 N push / 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa. Its theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
An external screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 30 mm (retract remains full), while needle-set adjustable air cushions at both ends absorb high-speed shock. The cushions only decelerate near the end of travel and do not lock the piston; the cylinder drifts on air loss, so use an external rod lock for holding.
