About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X200CA
Designed for high-speed actuation, this round-body stainless steel mini cylinder uses a needle-set air cushion at both ends to decelerate the load smoothly, eliminating the harsh impact of a fixed bumper. The MIC16X200CA is a double-acting actuator with a 16 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, and a CA rear pivot cover. Its stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, making it suitable for washdown environments.
Operating at 0.5 MPa, it provides 100.5 N of push force and 86.4 N of pull force. This translates to a safe working load of about 60 N, allowing it to lift roughly 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The 1/8" port and M6x1.0 male rod thread conform to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for bores Ø16-Ø25, ensuring easy bracket interchange. Note this SKU lacks a magnet and cannot host CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X200CA Is Used
Light Part Diversion
Ideal for deflecting small, lightweight packages on a high-speed conveyor line where the adjustable cushion prevents product damage at the 200 mm stroke end.
Small Component Ejection
Provides reliable push force of 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa to eject small machined parts from a fixture, with the air cushion absorbing the kinetic energy of rapid ejection.
Lab Sample Routing
The stainless construction and ISO 6432 dimensions make it a fit for laboratory automation, precisely routing sample trays without generating excessive stopping noise.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X200CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16 mm bore, stepping down means moving to an MI-series bumper cylinder which lacks the adjustable cushion. Stepping up to the MIC20 provides 157.0 N push at 0.5 MPa if your load exceeds the 100.5 N offered here. The adjustable cushion is essential when cycling at high speeds up to 800 mm/s, as it protects the mechanism from end-of-stroke shock.
Because this is a plain double-acting cylinder, the piston will drift if air pressure drops or the valve is centered; it cannot hold position. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for secure load holding. This specific model has no magnet (-S is required for sensing), and the CA rear cover provides a pivot/clevis mounting point.
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 MIC16X200CA FAQ
This 16 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" port and an M6x1.0 male rod thread. At 0.5 MPa it generates 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa it generates 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches. You would need the -S variant for sensing. The adjustable air cushion at both ends only decelerates the load near stroke end and does not function as a brake or lock.
