The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X200SU is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 200mm 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.
Soak up high-speed end-of-stroke shock with the AirTAC MIC16X200SU, a 16 mm bore double-acting mini cylinder featuring needle-adjustable air cushions at both ends. The stainless-steel round barrel and Ø6 mm piston rod shrug off mild washdown environments, while the U-style 90-degree rear cover simplifies port and mounting orientation. Because this bore falls within the Ø8-Ø25 range, it conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, dropping directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises.
Generating 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (86.4 N pull), this model is built for lighter-duty cycling. Factoring a 2:1 safety margin, it lifts about 5.1 kg vertically, making its 200 mm stroke ideal for moving small actuators or gates. The integrated -S piston magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for position sensing, and the M5×0.8 port ensures rapid airflow for its 30-800 mm/s speed range.

MI-family variants: MI / MIC (double acting ±cushion), MSI / MTI (single acting push / pull), MID / MICD (double rod ±cushion), MIJ / MICJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / R / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
Uses the 200 mm stroke to push lightweight parcels off a belt. The adjustable air cushion prevents harsh impacts at 800 mm/s, protecting packaging, while the 100.5 N push force easily handles the load.
Ejects sample trays in washdown-prone lab settings. The stainless steel construction resists mild corrosion, and the -S magnet works with DMSG sensors to confirm ejection.
Sorts delicate plastic components without fracturing them. The needle-set cushion slows the rod gently before the end of travel, and the 5.1 kg vertical lift capacity covers small tray weights.
When sizing this 16 mm bore, stepping down is not an option within the MIC cushion family, as smaller bores only offer the fixed-bumper MI version. If your application requires more force, the next size up is the MIC20, which raises the 0.5 MPa push force from 100.5 N to 157.0 N. Choose this cushioned model over a bumper cylinder when cycling at high speeds or moving masses that would otherwise slam into the end caps. Note that the adjustable cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end; it does not function as a brake. If you need to prevent drift on air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Mounting is versatile via LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion, and the built-in magnet (-S) enables electronic or reed sensor tracking.
Quick checklist
This 16 mm bore cylinder uses 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, 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.
It features a variable air cushion at both ends; you turn a needle valve to decelerate the piston near stroke end, cutting shock and noise. It is not a locking brake. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you can mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for position detection.
