Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X125SU
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X125SU 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 MIC16X125SU
Dial in end-of-stroke deceleration on high-speed loops with the AirTAC MIC16X125SU. This double-acting, round-body stainless mini cylinder replaces fixed bumpers with a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends, absorbing shock to protect your payload and cut noise. The stainless-steel barrel and Ø6 mm piston rod shrug off mild corrosion and washdown environments, while the U-style 90-degree rear cover simplifies port and mounting orientation.
In the 16 mm bore class, this ISO 6432 mounting-interface cylinder generates 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa. That translates to a safe working load of roughly 60 N, or enough thrust to lift about 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. It features an M5×0.8 port, an M6x1.0 male rod thread, and a built-in piston magnet (-S) for direct CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switch mounting.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X125SU Is Used
Small Package Divert
Ideal for routing light envelopes on a high-speed sorting line, where the adjustable air cushion prevents skidding when the 60 N working load stops abruptly.
Lab Sample Ejection
Ejects sample trays from test equipment using a 5 kg vertical lift margin, with the stainless build resisting chemical splashes during washdown cycles.
Light Part Clamping
Secures delicate plastic components during machining, using the 86.4 N pull force while the needle-set cushion protects parts from impact damage.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X125SU the Right Cylinder?
If 100.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa is too much, dropping down means moving to an MI-series bumper mini cylinder, as smaller bores lack the adjustable cushion. If you need more force, stepping up to the Ø20 MIC bore raises push force to 157 N. Keep the cushion adjustment for any high-speed or heavy-load cycling to prevent end-cap slam. Because the air cushion only decelerates near the stroke end, it will not hold a load if air pressure drops; install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for vertical safety. The -S magnet enables position sensing, and standard LB, FA, SDB, and TC mounts fit the ISO 6432 mini-cylinder footprint.
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 MIC16X125SU FAQ
This 16 mm bore cylinder uses an M5×0.8 port and an M6x1.0 male rod thread. It delivers 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S suffix means a piston magnet is built-in for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end to reduce shock; it is not a brake. Use an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold vertical loads.
