About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X150SCA
Tame high-speed end-of-stroke shock with the AirTAC MIC16X150SCA adjustable-cushion mini cylinder. Built as a double-acting, round-body stainless-steel actuator, it uses a needle-set air cushion at both ends to decelerate loads smoothly, protecting your mechanism and cutting noise far better than a fixed bumper. The Ø16 bore conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface, dropping directly into standard mini brackets, and the rear CA pivot cover simplifies clevis mounting.
In the 16 mm class, this cylinder generates 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it ideal for light part handling. Based on that thrust, it yields a safe working load of about 60 N, or roughly 5.1 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 safety margin. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown, while the 1/8" port and M6x1.0 male rod thread keep pneumatic integration simple.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X150SCA Is Used
Light Diverter
Snaps small packets across a belt at speed; the adjustable air cushion prevents harsh slamming at the 150 mm stroke end.
Component Ejector
Pushes lightweight stamped parts out of a die safely, using its 60 N safe working load without damaging the product.
Lab Sample Handler
Moves test tubes between stations where the stainless build resists mild cleaning chemicals and the smooth deceleration protects glass.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X150SCA the Right Cylinder?
If you need slightly more force, the MIC20X150 delivers 157 N of push at 0.5 MPa; if you can accept a fixed bumper, the smaller MI16 provides a compact alternative. Choose this MIC model when operating at high speeds where the adjustable air cushion is essential to absorb kinetic energy. Remember that the cushion only decelerates the load near the stroke end—it is not a brake. The piston will drift if air pressure drops, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you must hold position. This SKU includes the -S magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
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 MIC16X150SCA FAQ
This 16 mm bore cylinder has a 1/8" port and an M6x1.0 male rod 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.
It features a needle-adjustable air cushion at both ends that decelerates the piston near stroke end to reduce shock, but it is not a locking brake. Because this model includes the -S magnet, you can directly mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for position sensing.
