About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X155SCA
Damping high-speed strokes in tight spaces is the core strength of the AirTAC MIC16X155SCA. This double-acting, round-body stainless steel mini cylinder pairs a 16 mm bore with a 155 mm stroke, using needle-set variable air cushions at both ends to absorb end-of-stroke shock. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments.
Operating at 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, it generates 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa. This yields a safe working load of about 60 N, lifting roughly 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The built-in piston magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches, while the CA rear pivot cover and M5×0.8 port simplify integration.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X155SCA Is Used
Light Part Ejection
Ejects small plastic or metal parts at high speed using 100.5 N of push force, relying on the adjustable air cushion to prevent harsh end-of-stroke slamming.
Lab Dispensing Head
Moves a dispensing head vertically through a 155 mm stroke, lifting about 5.1 kg of fluid and valve assembly with smooth deceleration.
Small Sorter Diverter
Diverts lightweight packages on a conveyor, where the stainless build resists humidity and the needle-set cushion silences repetitive cycling.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X155SCA the Right Cylinder?
If you need less force, the smaller MI bumper mini cylinder lacks the adjustable cushion. If you need more thrust, stepping up to the MIC20 bore provides 157.0 N push at 0.5 MPa. The adjustable cushion on this unit matters most when driving heavier loads at high speeds up to 800 mm/s, preventing harsh impacts. Note that the cushion only decelerates the load near the stroke end; it does not function as a brake or lock. For position holding on air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve. The -S magnet enables position sensing, and the CA back cover offers a pivot mount.
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 MIC16X155SCA FAQ
This 16 mm bore cylinder features an M5×0.8 port and an M6x1.0 male rod thread. It delivers 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.
The -S indicates a built-in piston magnet required for mounting CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches; the SKU does not include the switches themselves. The variable air cushion at both ends uses a needle valve to trap and exhaust air to decelerate the piston near stroke end, reducing shock without acting as a load lock.
