About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X150CM
Dial in end-of-stroke deceleration with the AirTAC MIC16X150CM, a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built from stainless steel for mild washdown resistance. Its defining feature is the adjustable air cushion at both ends: a needle valve lets you tune the exhaust bleed to absorb high-speed impact, protecting your payload and lowering shop noise far better than a fixed rubber bumper. This unit carries a CM rear cover and uses an M5×0.8 port.
In the 16 mm bore class, this ISO 6432 mounting-interface cylinder generates 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (86.4 N pull), peaking at a theoretical 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. For actuation tasks, expect a safe working load of roughly 60 N, or vertical lifts of about 5.1 kg when applying a 2:1 safety margin. Note that this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X150CM Is Used
Small Part Ejection
Pushes lightweight plastic parts out of a mold at speed, relying on the cushion to stop the 6 mm rod gently without cracking the components.
Flap Folding
Folds cardboard flaps on a compact packaging line where the 60 N safe working load is plenty, and the stainless body shrugs off incidental moisture.
Lab Sample Routing
Indexes small test tubes between stations using the 5.1 kg vertical lift capacity, with the cushion preventing sudden jolts that might spill liquids.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X150CM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16 mm bore, step down to the smaller MI bumper mini cylinder if your load is very light and shock is a non-issue, or step up to the MIC20 (157.0 N push at 0.5 MPa) if you need roughly fifty percent more thrust. The adjustable cushion shines here when the 150 mm stroke runs at high speed or moves a sensitive payload, letting you bleed off kinetic energy smoothly. Remember the cushion only decelerates near the stroke end; it is not a brake. If you must prevent drift on air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot and TC trunnion.
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 MIC16X150CM FAQ
This 16 mm bore double-acting cylinder uses an M5×0.8 port. It pushes with 100.5 N and pulls with 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, push is 140.7 N and pull is 120.9 N. The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
This SKU lacks the internal magnet, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches will not function; you need the -S variant for sensing. The adjustable air cushion at both ends uses a needle to restrict exhaust flow, decelerating the piston smoothly at stroke end to reduce shock and noise.
