Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X125CM
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X125CM is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 125mm stroke, 1/8" 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 MIC16X125CM
Tame high-speed end-of-stroke shock with the AirTAC MIC16X125CM, a double-acting, round-body stainless-steel mini cylinder. Built with a Ø16 mm bore and a 125 mm stroke, it uses a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends to decelerate the load smoothly, protecting your mechanics and cutting workshop noise. The stainless barrel and Ø6 mm piston rod resist mild corrosion and washdown, while its dimensions match the ISO 6432 mounting interface for standard mini brackets and clevises.
In practical force terms, this bore pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa. That translates to a safe working load of about 60 N, or enough thrust to lift roughly 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. It feeds through a 1/8" port and uses an M6x1.0 male rod thread. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position switches; order the -S variant if you need sensing. The CM round back cover suits compact rear mounting arrangements.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X125CM Is Used
Light Part Ejection
Pushes small plastic or stamped parts out of a die at speed, using the dual end cushions to soften the ejection impact and prevent part marking.
Package Diverting
Handles lightweight carton routing on a conveyor, providing a 60 N safe working load to push items cleanly onto a branch line without slamming.
Lab Sample Routing
Moves delicate sample tubes or vials between stations, relying on the stainless build for mild corrosion resistance and the adjustable cushion to protect the glass.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X125CM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16 mm bore, compare it directly to the larger MIC20, which raises the 0.5 MPa push force to 157 N for heavier slides, or drop down to the MI16 bumper version if your cycle speed is low enough to skip the cushion. The adjustable air cushion here earns its keep on fast cycles (speed range 30-800 mm/s) or when moving fragile payloads, letting you dial in the exact deceleration needle to prevent bounce. This cylinder will not hold a load if air pressure drops or the valve is centered, as the piston will drift; install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for vertical safety. Mount it using LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion hardware.
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 MIC16X125CM FAQ
This double-acting cylinder has a 16 mm bore and 125 mm stroke. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N; at 0.7 MPa it pushes 140.7 N and pulls 120.9 N. The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a 1/8" air port and an M6x1.0 male piston rod thread.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must order the MIC16X125CM-S variant for position sensing. The adjustable air cushion at both ends only decelerates the load near the stroke end; it does not lock or hold the position.
