The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X110SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 110mm 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.
Generating 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder is built for rapid actuation. The 16 mm bore features an M5×0.8 port and a 110 mm stroke. A variable air cushion at both ends lets you dial in the deceleration to eliminate end-of-stroke banging, protecting your payload at high cycle rates.
The stainless barrel and piston rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. It conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for easy bracket interchange, and the -S suffix means a built-in magnet is present for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensing. For vertical moves, expect a safe working load of about 60 N, lifting roughly 5.1 kg with a 2:1 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.
Throws small plastic or stamped parts out of a press at high speed, using the adjustable cushion to stop the 110 mm stroke smoothly without slamming.
Pushes light cartons on a sorting line where the 60 N safe working load easily handles the mass and the cushioning prevents belt damage.
Actuates a diverter gate for test tubes or vials in a washdown-resistant stainless build, benefiting from the ISO 6432 dimensions for tight frames.
If you need less force, the smaller MI bumper mini cylinder lacks the adjustable cushion and drops to lower thrust. Stepping up to the MIC20X50 yields 157.0 N push at 0.5 MPa. Choose this 16 mm bore when moving light loads at high speeds where the needle-set cushion is essential to reduce shock and noise.
The CA rear pivot cover suits clevis mounting. Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end; it does not lock or hold the load. If air pressure drops, the rod will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve for suspension. The -S magnet enables sensors, whereas a plain SKU cannot take a switch.
Quick checklist
This 16 mm bore cylinder has an M5×0.8 port and a 6 mm rod. It generates 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S suffix provides a piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The needle-set air cushion at both ends only decelerates the piston near the stroke end to reduce shock; it is not a brake. The cylinder will drift on air loss, so use a pilot check valve for holding.
