Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X165SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X165SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 165mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments. Its ISO 6432 mounting interface makes it a compact drop-in for standard mini-cylinder fixtures.

About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X165SCA
Tame high-speed end-of-stroke shock with the AirTAC MIC16X165SCA, a 16 mm bore, 165 mm stroke double-acting mini cylinder built with needle-set adjustable air cushions at both ends. The stainless-steel round barrel and Ø6 mm piston rod shrug off mild corrosion and washdown environments. Conforming to the ISO 6432 mounting interface, it drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises.
In its force class, this unit pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa. That translates to a safe working load of roughly 60 N, or enough to lift about 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The CA rear pivot cover provides a clevis mount, while the M5×0.8 port supplies air. Because the -S suffix equips the piston with a magnet, you can track position using CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X165SCA Is Used
Light Parts Ejection
Shoots small plastic parts out of a mold at speed; the adjustable air cushion decelerates the 100.5 N push stroke to prevent marking the components.
Package Diverting
Snaps a lightweight carton across a belt line; the stainless build handles the dusty warehouse environment while the cushion softens the impact.
Lab Sample Routing
Pushes test tubes into a carousel; the 5.1 kg vertical lift capacity easily moves the racks, and the cushion stops the glass safely.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X165SCA the Right Cylinder?
If you need less force, the smaller 8 mm bore MI bumper version lacks the adjustable cushion and drops below the ISO 6432 threshold. Stepping up to the MIC20X50 brings 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Choose this 16 mm bore for light, fast moves where deceleration matters. The needle cushion soaks up kinetic energy at stroke ends but acts only as a shock absorber, never a brake. If the machine loses air, the piston drifts; hold a load with an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
Mount this CA-clevis cylinder using standard ISO 6432 rear pivot hardware. Factor in the 30-800 mm/s speed range and add CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors to leverage the installed -S magnet for precise end-position detection.
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 MIC16X165SCA FAQ
This 16 mm bore cylinder features an M5×0.8 air port and an M6x1.0 male rod thread. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 140.7 N and pulls 120.9 N. The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S suffix means a magnet is installed for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The adjustable air cushion at both ends uses a needle valve to tune deceleration, reducing shock at high speeds. It only absorbs end-of-stroke energy and does not lock or hold the load.
