Airtac B01-MIC Dedicated Cylinder B01-MIC16X140CA
The AirTAC Airtac B01-MIC Dedicated Cylinder B01-MIC16X140CA is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 140mm stroke, M5×0.8 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.

About the Airtac B01-MIC Dedicated Cylinder B01-MIC16X140CA
The B01- prefix on this SKU marks it as an AirTAC application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the MIC16X140CA, meaning it is mechanically identical to the standard base cylinder but grouped for specific customer builds. As a double-acting, round-body stainless steel mini cylinder, it uses an adjustable air cushion at both ends to absorb high-speed end-of-stroke shock, protecting the load and reducing noise better than a fixed bumper.
In the Ø16 bore class, it generates 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (140.7 N at 0.7 MPa) and features an M5×0.8 port with an M6x1.0 male rod thread. Because the cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end, it acts as a shock absorber rather than a brake. For vertical lifting, expect a safe working load of about 60 N, meaning it lifts about 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. This SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.

Where the Airtac B01-MIC Dedicated Cylinder B01-MIC16X140CA Is Used
Light-Duty Pick & Place
Ideal for moving 5 kg electronic components at high speed, using the adjustable air cushions to prevent harsh impacts that could damage delicate parts during rapid transfers.
Package Diverting
Provides reliable 140 mm stroke actuation on small conveyor sorting gates, where the stainless build resists mild washdown and the cushions silence end-of-stroke clatter.
Lab Automation
Suits compact testing fixtures requiring precise 60 N force application, leveraging the ISO 6432 mounting interface to drop directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets.
Is the Airtac B01-MIC Dedicated Cylinder B01-MIC16X140CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16 mm bore, stepping down is not an option for cushioned models, as the smaller Ø8, Ø10, and Ø12 bores only offer the fixed-bumper MI version without adjustable cushions. If your application requires more force, the next size up is the Ø20 MIC, which raises the push force to 157.0 N at 0.5 MPa. The adjustable needle cushions on this unit matter most when operating at high speeds or moving sensitive loads that cannot tolerate abrupt stops.
This cylinder features a CA rear pivot cover for clevis mounting and conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for standard mini-cylinder brackets. Remember that a plain cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or a valve is centered, so install an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you need to hold a load in place. Since this specific SKU has no -S magnet, position sensing is not possible without switching to the magnet-equipped variant.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/R/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check Use correct back cover (CA/U/R/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac B01-MIC Dedicated Cylinder B01-MIC16X140CA FAQ
This application-dedicated variant of the MIC16X140CA operates at 0.15-1.0 MPa with an M5×0.8 port and M6x1.0 rod thread. It delivers 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The stroke is 140 mm, well within the 500 mm max standard stroke for this bore.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for sensing. Additionally, the adjustable air cushion at both ends only decelerates the piston near the stroke end to reduce shock; it does not lock or hold the load, so an external rod lock is required for position holding on air loss.
