About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X175CA
Tame high-speed end-of-stroke shock with the AirTAC MIC16X175CA, a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built with a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mild washdown resistance. It conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for Ø16, dropping into standard mini brackets and clevises. This CA rear-pivot model uses a 1/8" port and an M6x1.0 male rod thread.
At 0.5 MPa it pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N, yielding a safe working load of about 60 N. Vertically, it lifts roughly 5.1 kg with a 2:1 margin. The defining feature is the needle-adjustable air cushion at both ends, which decelerates the load smoothly versus a fixed bumper. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X175CA Is Used
Light Actuation
Drives small pneumatic clamps and escapements with a 60 N safe working load at 0.5 MPa.
Package Diverting
Cushions the 175 mm stroke to softly push light cartons on a conveyor without bounce.
Lab Automation
Moves light sample trays using a stainless round body that resists mild washdown.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X175CA the Right Cylinder?
Stepping down is not an option for cushioned MIC sizing, as the smaller bores are MI-only bumper types. Stepping up to the Ø20 MIC raises the 0.5 MPa push force to 157 N if you need more thrust. The adjustable cushion matters most when driving the 175 mm stroke at high speeds, protecting the load from impact. The cushion only decelerates near stroke end; it is not a brake. To hold a load on air loss, fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve. This CA pivot-cover unit mounts via a rear clevis, and because it lacks the -S magnet, position sensing is unavailable.
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 MIC16X175CA FAQ
This 16 mm bore cylinder has a 1/8" port and an M6x1.0 male rod thread. It pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa, pushes 140.7 N and pulls 120.9 N at 0.7 MPa, and has a theoretical max force of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches will not function. You would need the -S variant for sensing. It features a stainless steel build and needle-adjustable air cushions at both ends.
