About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X140SCM
Built for fast, compact actuation, the AirTAC MIC16X140SCM is a double-acting, round-body stainless steel mini cylinder featuring a 16 mm bore and a 140 mm stroke. A defining trait of this series is the adjustable air cushion at both ends: by turning a needle valve, you tune the end-of-stroke deceleration to absorb shock and reduce noise at high cycling speeds. The stainless barrel and rod offer mild corrosion resistance for washdown environments, and the 1/8" port feeds a robust 140.7 N push force at 0.7 MPa.
With a 0.5 MPa push force of 100.5 N, this unit handles a safe working load of roughly 60 N, lifting about 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet, enabling CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensing. It uses the ISO 6432 mounting interface for standard mini brackets, and the CM round rear cover provides specific port and mounting orientation. Note that the cushion only decelerates the load; it does not function as a brake.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X140SCM Is Used
Light Parts Ejection
Cycles at high speed to push small molded parts out of a die, relying on the tuned air cushion to prevent end-of-stroke impact damage.
Carton Flap Folding
Folds light cardboard flaps on a packaging line where the 60 N safe working load is sufficient and stainless construction resists moisture.
Lab Sample Sorting
Indexes delicate test tubes between stations; the adjustable deceleration protects the glass from sudden shocks at stroke endpoints.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X140SCM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16 mm bore, stepping down means moving to an 8 mm or 10 mm MI-series bumper cylinder, which lacks the adjustable cushion and yields significantly less force. Stepping up to the MIC20X50 increases your 0.5 MPa push force to 157 N for heavier payloads. The adjustable cushion is essential when operating near the 800 mm/s maximum speed or moving sensitive masses that cannot tolerate hard impacts.
Because the MIC16X140SCM is a double-acting cylinder, it will drift if air pressure is lost or a valve is centered—the air cushion cannot hold a load. For vertical or suspended loads requiring fail-safe holding, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The -S magnet allows seamless sensor integration, while standard LB, FA, SDB, and TC mounts fit the ISO 6432 body.
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 MIC16X140SCM FAQ
This 16 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" port and an M6x1.0 male rod thread. It generates a push force of 100.5 N and a pull force of 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 140.7 N and the pull force is 120.9 N. The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet compatible with CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches. The adjustable air cushion at both ends uses a needle valve to trap and exhaust air to smoothly decelerate the piston near the stroke ends, reducing shock. It is not a locking brake.
