Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X175SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X175SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 175mm 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 MIC16X175SCM
High-speed actuation no longer means end-of-stroke slam, thanks to the needle-set air cushions built into both ends of this 16 mm bore actuator. As the double-acting stainless steel round-body mini cylinder reaches its 175 mm stroke, the trapped air bleeds out smoothly to decelerate the payload and drop noise levels.
Delivering 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (140.7 N at 0.7 MPa), it fits standard ISO 6432 mini-cylinder mounting brackets. The -S suffix adds a piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches, while the CM rear cover provides a clean round-end port orientation. It yields a safe working load of roughly 60 N, lifting about 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X175SCM Is Used
Small Part Ejection
Shoots light plastic parts out of a machining zone at speed, using the dual needle cushions to prevent the 6 mm rod from slamming harshly at the end of the 175 mm travel.
Package Deflection
Rapidly diverts small cartons on a packing line where the 100.5 N push force is plenty, and the stainless build resists humidity in washdown areas.
Light Duty Clamping
Holds delicate electronic components during an assembly process, with the CM round-end cover keeping the M5×0.8 port orientation neatly tucked away.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X175SCM the Right Cylinder?
If you need less thrust, dropping down is not an option within the MIC cushioned range; smaller bores use the MI bumper-only series. Stepping up to the MIC20X50 raises the 0.5 MPa push force to 157 N. The adjustable cushion shines when driving heavier loads at high speeds, but remember it only decelerates near the stroke end. It will not lock the rod on air loss, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for suspended loads.
This SKU includes the -S magnet for position sensing and features an M5×0.8 port. Mounting options span LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, and TC trunnion brackets.
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 MIC16X175SCM FAQ
This 16 mm bore cylinder features an M5×0.8 port and an M6x1.0 male rod thread. It generates 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 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 only decelerates the piston near stroke end to reduce shock; it is not a brake. The piston will drift on air loss, so use a pilot check valve to hold a suspended load.
