Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X140SU
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X140SU is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 140mm 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 MIC16X140SU
Dial in end-of-stroke deceleration with the AirTAC MIC16X140SU, a 16 mm bore double-acting mini cylinder built around a stainless-steel round barrel and rod for mild washdown resistance. A needle-set variable air cushion at both ends absorbs high-speed shock, protecting your payload far better than a fixed rubber bumper. It uses the ISO 6432 mounting interface, dropping cleanly into standard mini brackets and clevises.
At 0.5 MPa it delivers 100.5 N of push force and 86.4 N of pull, peaking at a theoretical 20.5 kgf. That translates to a safe working load of about 60 N, or roughly 5.1 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The U-style back cover provides a 90-degree port orientation, and the -S suffix means a piston magnet is installed for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position switches.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X140SU Is Used
Light Package Diverting
Ideal for high-speed sorting arms moving small cartons, where the dual air cushions silently absorb the 140 mm stroke impact without jarring the conveyor belt.
Micro-Clamp Actuation
Provides 60 N of safe clamping force for delicate electronic fixtures, using the U cover's 90-degree orientation to keep pneumatic lines tight against the machine frame.
Lab Sample Indexing
The stainless build resists mild chemical wipe-downs, while the ISO 6432 dimensions let this cylinder slip into compact analytical equipment to shuttle sample trays.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X140SU the Right Cylinder?
If 100.5 N of push is too much for delicate parts, dropping down requires moving to the smaller MI bumper-only series, as the cushioned MIC line starts at Ø16. Stepping up to the MIC20X50 yields 157 N of push at 0.5 MPa for heavier shuttling. The 140 mm stroke is well within the 500 mm standard limit.
The adjustable air cushion shines at high cycling speeds up to 800 mm/s, letting you tune the needle to stop the load smoothly. Remember the cushion only decelerates near the stroke end—it is not a brake. If you need to hold vertical position on air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve. This U-cover SKU includes the -S magnet for sensors and uses a 1/8" port.
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 MIC16X140SU FAQ
This 16 mm bore cylinder has 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, 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 indicates a built-in piston magnet compatible with CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches. The variable air cushions at both ends use a needle valve to trap and bleed exhaust air, decelerating the piston to cut shock and noise at high speeds. It only softens the stop and does not lock the load.
