About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X15CM
High-speed 15 mm strokes run smoother with the AirTAC MIC16X15CM. This double-acting, round-body stainless mini cylinder uses a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends to decelerate the load, reducing shock and noise. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, making it suitable for washdown environments. As a 16 mm bore unit, it fits the ISO 6432 mounting interface, dropping into standard mini brackets and clevises.
Generating 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, this actuator handles light payloads with precision. For a safe working load, expect around 60 N, or roughly 5.1 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The 1/8" port and M6x1.0 male rod thread keep the footprint compact. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X15CM Is Used
Micro Clamp Shifts
Ideal for rapidly repositioning small clamping fingers, using the adjustable cushion to prevent bounce at the 15 mm stroke end.
Light Part Ejection
Ejects lightweight plastic components with a 60 N safe working load, absorbing impact energy to protect delicate parts.
Lab Dispense Tapping
Taps valve nozzles in lab automation where the stainless build resists mild chemical splashes and the short stroke ensures rapid cycling.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X15CM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 15 mm stroke actuator, step down to the MI bumper mini cylinder if your cycle speed is low and shock is a non-issue, as there is no smaller MIC bore. If you need more force, the MIC20X50 offers 157 N push at 0.5 MPa. The adjustable cushion is essential here for high-speed moves, letting you dial in deceleration.
Remember that the air cushion only slows the piston near the end of stroke; it is not a brake. If you need to hold a load vertically during air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve. This CM round-end cover version requires standard ISO 6432 brackets for mounting, and because it lacks the -S suffix, position sensing is not supported.
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 MIC16X15CM FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it provides 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it yields 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features a 1/8" air port and a 6 mm piston rod with an M6x1.0 male thread.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches cannot be used. You would need the -S variant for position sensing. The defining feature here is the adjustable air cushion at both ends, which decelerates the load but does not function as a locking brake.
