About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X140CA
Tame end-of-stroke impact at high speed with the AirTAC MIC16X140CA, a round-body stainless steel mini cylinder featuring a needle-set adjustable air cushion at both ends. This double-acting actuator uses an ISO 6432 mounting interface for straightforward bracket interchangeability and carries a 140 mm stroke. Its stainless barrel and Ø6 mm rod shrug off mild corrosion and washdown environments.
In the 16 mm bore class, it generates 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, peaking at a 20.5 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. For practical sizing, figure on a safe working load of about 60 N, which means it lifts roughly 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Air connects via an M5×0.8 port, and the rear CA clevis cover suits pivoting layouts.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X140CA Is Used
Light Parts Ejection
Shoots small plastic parts out of a mould at high speed, using the adjustable cushion to stop the rod softly without slamming the frame.
Package Deflection
Pushes light cartons on a sorting line with a safe 60 N working load, decelerating smoothly at stroke end to avoid denting the boxes.
Lab Dispense Head
Moves a fluid nozzle up and down in a washdown zone; the stainless build resists moisture while the cushion cushions the 140 mm drop.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X140CA the Right Cylinder?
If your payload is lighter, dropping down means moving to an MI bumper mini, as the cushion feature starts at this 16 mm bore. Stepping up to the MIC20 adds mass but yields 157 N push at 0.5 MPa. Choose this 16 mm bore when moving light loads at high travel speeds where the adjustable cushion can dial out shock and noise. Remember the cushion only decelerates near the stroke end; it is not a brake. If you need to prevent drift on air loss, fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
This specific SKU lacks the internal magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors—order the -S variant if you require position feedback. Alongside the rear CA clevis, you can mount the body 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 MIC16X140CA FAQ
This 16 mm bore cylinder uses an M5×0.8 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 the 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 does not include a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches; you need the -S variant for position sensing. The adjustable air cushions at both ends only decelerate the load near stroke end and do not lock the rod.
