Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X105SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X105SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 105mm 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 MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X105SCA
Delivering 140.7 N of push force at 0.7 MPa, this double-acting stainless steel round-body mini cylinder features a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends to absorb high-speed stroke shock. The Ø16 mm bore uses an M5×0.8 port and an M6x1.0 male rod thread. Its stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments, while the built-in piston magnet enables position sensing. A rear CA pivot cover provides clevis mounting flexibility.
In practical terms, the unit yields a safe working load of roughly 60 N based on its 100.5 N push force at 0.5 MPa. This translates to lifting about 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The adjustable cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end to reduce noise; it does not lock or hold the load. If air pressure drops, the piston will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve for suspended loads.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X105SCA Is Used
Light Part Ejection
Shoots small plastic parts out of a mold at high speed. The adjustable air cushion catches the piston at stroke end to prevent impact damage.
Package Diverting
Pushes light cartons off a belt. With a safe working load near 60 N, it handles small boxes without slamming them into the stop.
Lab Test Positioning
Moves sample trays in washdown test rigs. The stainless build resists moisture while the CA pivot cover handles angular alignment.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X105SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16 mm bore unit, stepping down is not an option within the MIC cushioned range, as the smaller Ø8, Ø10, and Ø12 bores lack the adjustable cushion build entirely and rely on fixed bumpers. Stepping up to the MIC20X50 increases the 0.5 MPa push force from 100.5 N to 157.0 N. Choose this Ø16 model for light, high-speed tasks where shock absorption matters. It conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for standard mini brackets.
Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it accepts CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for end-of-stroke detection. Remember that the air cushion is a deceleration feature, not a brake. For vertical loads that must resist gravity during a pressure loss, install a pilot-operated check valve or external rod lock.
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 MIC16X105SCA FAQ
This double-acting cylinder has an M5×0.8 port and generates 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, it yields 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of the stroke and is not a brake. If you need to hold a suspended load, you must install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
