About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X150SCATC
Dialing in end-of-stroke deceleration is effortless with the adjustable air cushion needles on this stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder. As the double-acting piston approaches either end of its 150 mm travel, the trapped air bleeds through the needle valve to smoothly absorb kinetic energy, protecting your payload from harsh impacts.
Operating at the compact ISO 6432 mounting interface, this Ø16 bore unit generates 140.7 N of push force at 0.7 MPa. It yields a safe working load of roughly 60 N, lifting about 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The built-in magnet enables position sensing, while the CA rear clevis and TC trunnion mounting provide versatile pivot options.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X150SCATC Is Used
Light-Part Ejection
Pushes small molded components out of a fixture at high speed, relying on the adjustable cushion to prevent the rod from slamming harshly at the end of the 150 mm stroke.
Flap Deflection
Actuates light carton sealing flaps where the 60 N safe working load is sufficient, using the TC trunnion to accommodate the arc of the moving arm.
Lab Sample Routing
Indexes sample trays in washdown test cells, benefiting from the stainless barrel and rod construction to resist mild corrosion in humid environments.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X150SCATC the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16 mm bore, stepping down is not an option for cushioned models, as the smaller 8, 10, and 12 mm bores rely on fixed bumpers. Stepping up to the Ø20 bore raises the 0.5 MPa push force from 100.5 N to 157.0 N. The adjustable cushion is essential for this bore if you are moving loads near that 60 N safe threshold at high cycling speeds. Note that the cushion only decelerates the stroke; it will not hold the load if air pressure drops. For vertical or suspended loads that must resist drifting during air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
This SKU includes the -S piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. Pneumatic plumbing uses a 1/8" port, and the male M6x1.0 rod thread mates with standard clevises. The rear CA clevis cover and TC trunnion bracket let you build a pivoting assembly.
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 MIC16X150SCATC FAQ
This double-acting cylinder uses a 1/8" port and 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 denotes a built-in piston magnet compatible with CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches. The variable air cushion at both ends uses a needle valve to decelerate the load near stroke end, reducing shock and noise without acting as a physical brake.
