About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X150U
Tame high-speed end-of-stroke shock in compact machines with the AirTAC MIC16X150U. This double-acting, round-body stainless steel mini cylinder features a needle-set adjustable air cushion at both ends, letting you dial in deceleration to protect payloads and cut noise far better than a fixed bumper. The Ø16 bore uses an M5×0.8 port and a 6 mm piston rod with an M6x1.0 male thread, conforming to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for easy bracket interchange.
Built with a riveted stainless barrel and rod, it resists mild corrosion and washdown. It pushes with 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa (140.7 N at 0.7 MPa), yielding a safe working load of about 60 N. This translates to lifting roughly 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The U-style rear cover provides 90-degree port orientation for tight layouts. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches; specify the -S variant for position sensing.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X150U Is Used
Small Part Ejection
Safely eject light plastic parts at speed, using the adjustable cushion to prevent the 6 mm rod from slamming harshly at full extension.
Flap Folding
Folds light carton flaps on a packaging line where the 100.5 N push force is ample and the U-cover keeps ports tidy in tight spaces.
Lab Sample Routing
Moves small sample trays with smooth end-of-stroke deceleration, protecting delicate glassware from sudden shocks during high-speed routing.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X150U the Right Cylinder?
If your payload is lighter, the smaller MI16 bumper version lacks the adjustable cushion but offers basic stopping. If you need more thrust, stepping up to the MIC20X50 provides 157 N push at 0.5 MPa. The adjustable cushion here matters most when cycling at high speeds or moving heavier masses near the 60 N safe working load, preventing harsh impacts. For vertical or suspended loads, remember this cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion only decelerates near stroke end, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold position. Mount using standard ISO 6432 brackets, but select an -S model if you need 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 MIC16X150U FAQ
It generates 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 140.7 N push / 120.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical max of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port is M5×0.8 and the male rod thread is M6x1.0.
No, this specific SKU does not have a magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must order the MIC16X150U-S variant to enable magnetic position sensing.
