About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X175SCA
Designed for compact automation, the AirTAC MIC16X175SCA is a double-acting, round-body stainless steel mini cylinder. It generates 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it suitable for light-duty handling. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. A built-in piston magnet allows for position sensing.
Unlike standard bumper models, this unit features an adjustable air cushion at both ends. You can tune the needle valve to absorb end-of-stroke shock at high speeds, protecting the load and reducing noise. It uses an M5×0.8 port and an M6x1.0 male rod thread. With a safe working load of about 60 N, it lifts approximately 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X175SCA Is Used
Light Parts Ejection
Ejects small plastic components at high speed. The adjustable air cushion decelerates the stroke end to prevent damage to the finished parts.
Package Diverting
Pushes light cartons on a conveyor line. The stainless build handles mildly humid packing areas without seizing.
Lab Sample Handling
Moves sample trays with precise 175 mm travel. The CA pivot mount allows angled alignment for complex test rigs.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X175SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16 mm bore, dropping down is not an option for cushioned models; smaller bores rely on fixed bumpers. Stepping up to the MIC20X50 increases your 0.5 MPa push force to 157.0 N. Choose this 175 mm stroke model when you need extended reach for light parts. The adjustable cushion is essential if you operate near the 800 mm/s maximum speed.
The rear CA pivot cover accommodates clevis mounting. Position holding is not possible on air loss, as the piston will drift; use a pilot-operated check valve for suspended loads. The integrated magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches.
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 MIC16X175SCA FAQ
This double-acting cylinder uses 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 of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the piston will drift on air loss. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the rod near the stroke end; it does not act as a brake. For vertical loads, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
