About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X150SCM
Dialing in end-of-stroke deceleration is effortless with the AirTAC MIC16X150SCM, a round-body stainless steel mini cylinder built for double-acting operation. Because it features an adjustable air cushion at both ends, you can tune the needle valves to absorb high-speed impact, protecting your mechanisms far better than a fixed bumper. The 16 mm bore, 6 mm rod, and 1/8" port deliver 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, while the stainless construction resists mild corrosion and washdown environments.
Conforming to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for Ø16 bores, this 150 mm stroke unit drops directly into standard mini brackets and clevises. It includes a built-in piston magnet (the -S suffix) for position sensing with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches, and uses a CM round rear cover for straightforward port orientation. For a safe working load, expect around 60 N, or vertical lifting of about 5.1 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X150SCM Is Used
Light Part Ejection
Ideal for pushing small plastic or aluminum parts out of a mold at high speed, using the adjustable cushion to prevent the 6 mm rod from slamming harshly against the end cap.
Package Diverting
Handles lightweight cardboard carton routing on a conveyor. The 100.5 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily tips small packages without crushing them.
Lab Sample Routing
Perfect for washdown-adjacent laboratory sorting lines where the stainless barrel resists mild chemical exposure and the 150 mm stroke moves sample trays precisely.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X150SCM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16 mm bore unit, stepping down is not an option within the MIC cushioned range, as the smaller Ø8/10/12 sizes only offer fixed bumpers. If you need more force, the next size up is the MIC20, which jumps significantly to 157.0 N push at 0.5 MPa. Choose this model when your cycle speed demands the adjustable air cushion to prevent harsh end-cap strikes, operating seamlessly across the 30-800 mm/s speed range.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not act as a brake or lock. If your application must hold a load vertically during an air loss event, fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. You can mount this cylinder using LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion hardware, and the internal magnet is ready for CMSG/DMSG/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 MIC16X150SCM FAQ
This 16 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" port and a 6 mm piston rod. 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 magnet compatible with CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches. The adjustable air cushion at both ends only decelerates the piston near stroke end to reduce shock; it is not a lock. The piston will drift on air loss, so use an external rod lock for holding.
