About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X175SCATC
Dialing in end-of-stroke deceleration is effortless with the adjustable air cushion needles on this round-body stainless mini cylinder. Built for double-acting operation, the Ø16 bore generates 140.7 N of push force at 0.7 MPa, making it a solid fit for compact, high-speed routing tasks.
The stainless-steel barrel and rod shrug off mild washdown environments, and the body adheres to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for straightforward bracket interchangeability. Equipped with a 175 mm stroke, an M6x1.0 male rod thread, and a 1/8" port, it carries the -S magnet for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 60 N, lifting about 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X175SCATC Is Used
Light Diverter Arms
Snaps small packages at 30-800 mm/s using 100.5 N of push force, leaning on the adjustable cushion to prevent harsh slams at the stroke end.
Micro Clamp Fixtures
Holds thin metal or plastic stock with a safe 60 N working load, while the stainless build resists coolant mist in tight machining cells.
Lab Sample Routing
Shifts light test tubes along a 175 mm path smoothly; the needle-set cushion absorbs kinetic energy so delicate vials do not crack.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X175SCATC the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16 mm bore, dropping down is not an option for cushioned models, as the smaller 8/10/12 bores are bumper-only. Stepping up to the Ø20 bore raises the 0.5 MPa push force from 100.5 N to 157 N if you need more thrust. The adjustable cushion shines at high speeds or when moving delicate loads, but remember it only decelerates the piston and does not lock the rod. For vertical or suspended loads that must hold position on air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve. This SKU includes the -S magnet for position sensing and uses a CA rear pivot cover with a TC trunnion 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 MIC16X175SCATC FAQ
This double-acting cylinder uses a 1/8" port and a 6 mm rod with an M6x1.0 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.
Yes, the -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The adjustable air cushion at both ends uses a needle to tune deceleration, reducing shock at high speeds, but it acts only as a damper and not a braking lock.
