Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X125CA
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X125CA is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 125mm 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 MIC16X125CA
Tame high-speed end-of-stroke shock with the AirTAC MIC16X125CA, a 16 mm bore double-acting mini cylinder featuring needle-adjustable air cushions at both ends. Instead of a fixed bumper, you dial in the exact deceleration to protect payloads and cut noise. The stainless-steel round barrel and Ø6 mm piston rod supply mild corrosion resistance for washdown or humid settings. A 125 mm stroke gives ample travel, and the CA rear pivot cover simplifies clevis mounting.
Generating 100.5 N of push force and 86.4 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, this ISO 6432 mounting-interface cylinder fits standard mini brackets. It yields a safe working load of about 60 N, lifting roughly 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Air connects via an M5×0.8 port. Note this SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X125CA Is Used
Light Part Ejection
Cushioned stops protect delicate plastic components from impact damage during high-speed ejection from a molding cell.
Package Diverter
The CA pivot mount handles lateral sway while the 100.5 N push force reliably redirects small cartons on a sorting line.
Lab Sample Handling
Stainless construction tolerates humid lab environments, while needle-set deceleration prevents sudden jolts to fluid vials.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X125CA the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 16 mm bore when you need smooth cushioned stops within a 125 mm travel. If your payload is lighter, the smaller MI bumper mini cylinder offers fixed shock absorption but lacks the adjustable needle. For heavier drives, stepping up to the Ø20 MIC bore raises push force to 157 N at 0.5 MPa. The variable cushion shines at cycle speeds approaching the 30-800 mm/s limit, where deceleration tuning prevents bouncing.
The adjustable cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it is not a brake. If you must hold a vertical load during air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve. For position feedback, select the -S magnet variant to enable CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors, as this base SKU is unsensored.
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 MIC16X125CA FAQ
This 16 mm bore cylinder has an M5×0.8 air port and an M6x1.0 male rod thread. At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 100.5 N and pulls with 86.4 N. At 0.7 MPa push is 140.7 N and pull is 120.9 N. The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU lacks the internal magnet. You must order the -S version of the MIC cylinder to use CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches for position sensing.
