Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X135SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X135SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 135mm 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 MIC16X135SCA
High-speed actuation demands precise end-of-stroke control, and the AirTAC MIC16X135SCA delivers exactly that through its needle-set variable air cushions at both ends. This double-acting, 16 mm bore round-body stainless steel mini cylinder provides 140.7 N of push force at 0.7 MPa and uses a 1/8" port. Its riveted stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. The built-in -S piston magnet enables CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for position sensing.
For sizing utility, the safe working load sits around 60 N, which translates to lifting about 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Because it conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for Ø16-Ø25 bores, it drops directly into standard mini brackets and clevises. The rear CA pivot cover adds flexible rod-end load alignment. Remember that the cushion only decelerates the load near the stroke end; it does not function as a brake.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X135SCA Is Used
Light Package Diverting
Uses the 100.5 N push force to push small cartons off a high-speed belt, relying on the adjustable cushion to stop the 135 mm stroke without slamming.
Small Component Ejection
Ejects lightweight machined parts from a fixture, where the stainless build resists cutting fluid mist and the needle-set cushion protects delicate tooling.
Bin Gate Actuation
Opens and closes small gravity-fed hopper gates, using the CA pivot cover to handle slight misalignment while the magnet confirms gate position.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X135SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16 mm bore, stepping down is not an option within the MIC range for cushioned actuation, as smaller bores use the bumper-only MI version. Stepping up to the MIC20X50 increases the 0.5 MPa push force from 100.5 N to 157.0 N. The adjustable air cushion matters most when propelling heavier loads at high speeds up to 800 mm/s, preventing end-cap impact. If your application requires the cylinder to hold a vertical load during air loss, you must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve, as the piston will drift. The included magnet supports electronic sensing, and the CA back cover supplies a rear pivot point.
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 MIC16X135SCA FAQ
This 16 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/8" port and a 6 mm rod with an M6x1.0 male thread. It generates 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 force of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of its stroke to reduce shock; it is not a brake or lock. The piston will drift on air loss, so you need an external rod lock or pilot check valve for position holding. The -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches to track position.
