About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X200CM
Operating with a 16 mm bore and 200 mm stroke, this stainless steel round-body mini cylinder brings adjustable air cushioning to compact automation. A needle valve at both ends dials in the deceleration to absorb high-speed end-of-stroke shock, protecting your payload and reducing noise far better than a fixed bumper. The CM round rear cover keeps the M5×0.8 ported body clean for tight spaces. As a double-acting actuator, it generates 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa.
Built with a riveted stainless barrel and a 6 mm rod, it handles mild washdown environments and conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for easy bracket interchange. It yields a safe working load of roughly 60 N, lifting about 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X200CM Is Used
Light Parts Ejection
Uses the 100.5 N push force to knock small plastic parts from a mold, relying on the adjustable cushion to soften the return impact.
Package Diverting
Pushes light cartons at high cycle rates where the needle-set cushion prevents jarring stops that could misalign the conveyor belt.
Lab Sample Routing
Moves test tubes between stations with a 5.1 kg vertical lift capacity, benefiting from the stainless build in humid environments.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X200CM the Right Cylinder?
If you need less force, dropping to a smaller bumper-style MI cylinder removes the adjustable cushioning, so this 16 mm bore is the smallest MIC available. Stepping up to the MIC20X50 increases your 0.5 MPa push force to 157 N for heavier loads. The adjustable cushion matters most when cycling at high speeds or moving delicate components that cannot withstand a hard impact.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not lock or hold the load. If air pressure drops, the rod will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve for suspended loads. For position feedback, select the -S magnet variant to enable sensing 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 MIC16X200CM FAQ
This 16 mm bore cylinder features an M5×0.8 port and a 6 mm rod. 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 force of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must choose the -S variant for position sensing. The adjustable air cushion at both ends only serves to decelerate the load, not to hold it in place.
