About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X125SCM
Designed for high-speed actuation, this stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder uses an adjustable air cushion at both ends to decelerate the load smoothly. As the double-acting MIC variant, it replaces fixed bumpers with a needle valve, soaking up end-of-stroke shock to protect your mechanism and reduce noise. The Ø16 bore conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface, dropping directly into standard mini brackets and clevises.
Driven by an M5×0.8 port and a 6 mm piston rod, it generates 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, yielding a safe working load of roughly 60 N or a vertical lift of about 5.1 kg with a 2:1 margin. The built-in -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for position sensing, while the CM round rear cover provides flexible port orientation. Its riveted stainless construction resists mild corrosion and washdown environments.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X125SCM Is Used
Light Parts Ejection
Shoots small plastic or metal parts out of a machining fixture at speed, using the adjustable cushion to prevent bounce-back.
Package Diverting
Pushes lightweight cartons on a sorting line where the 60 N safe working load easily moves boxes without crushing them.
Lab Sample Handling
Moves delicate diagnostic trays rapidly, relying on the stainless build and smooth end-deceleration to protect liquids from splashing.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X125SCM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16 mm bore, step down to the MI bumper version if you need less force and do not require end-cushioning, or step up to the MIC20 which pushes 157.0 N at 0.5 MPa for heavier loads. The adjustable air cushion is essential here when cycling at high speeds or moving sensitive masses that would be damaged by a hard impact. Remember the cushion only decelerates near the stroke end; it is not a brake.
If your application must hold position during air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve because the piston will drift. Mount this unit using LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion hardware, and rely on the internal magnet for electronic or reed sensor feedback.
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 MIC16X125SCM FAQ
This double-acting cylinder uses an M5×0.8 port and 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 means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end to reduce shock; it does not lock or hold the load on air loss, so use a pilot check valve for holding.
