About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X100SU
Tame end-of-stroke shock at high speed with the AirTAC MIC16X100SU, a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built with a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mild washdown resistance. It features an adjustable air cushion at both ends, letting you dial in the needle to decelerate the load smoothly instead of slamming like a fixed bumper. The U-style rear cover provides a 90-degree mounting orientation for tight spatial constraints.
Delivering 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, this bore class yields a safe working load of about 60 N, lifting roughly 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The Ø16 bore uses an M5×0.8 port and conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions for standard bracket interchange. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it is ready for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X100SU Is Used
Small Part Ejection
Cushions the 100 mm stroke end when flicking light plastic components out of a molding area at high cycle rates, preventing rod-end banging.
Flap Folding
Provides the 60 N safe working load needed to push carton flaps on a packaging line, with the U cover allowing a compact 90-degree mount.
Lab Dispensing
Stainless construction resists mild corrosion in laboratory environments, while the adjustable cushion halts the rod gently to avoid splashing test fluids.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X100SU the Right Cylinder?
For lighter duty, the MI bumper mini cylinder is the next size down, while stepping up to the MIC20X100SU raises your 0.5 MPa push force to 157 N. Choose this adjustable-cushion model when driving loads at high speeds where impact noise must be minimized. Note that the air cushion only decelerates near the stroke end; it does not act as a brake. If you need to hold a load vertically during air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
The U back cover suits 90-degree pivot or fixed mounting. Position sensing is fully enabled here via the built-in -S magnet, compatible with CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches.
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 MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X100SU FAQ
This double-acting cylinder uses an M5×0.8 port and a 6 mm rod with an M6x1.0 male thread. It generates 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, with a theoretical maximum force of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The adjustable air cushion at both ends only decelerates the piston near stroke end to reduce shock; it is not a lock. For load holding on air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
