Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X210SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X210SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 210mm stroke, 1/8" 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 MIC16X210SCA
Built for rapid small-bore actuation, the AirTAC MIC16X210SCA is a double-acting, round-body stainless steel mini cylinder featuring a 16 mm bore, 210 mm stroke, and a CA pivot rear cover. A variable air cushion at both ends lets you dial in end-of-stroke deceleration with a needle valve, absorbing high-speed shock to protect payloads and reduce noise far better than a fixed bumper. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments, and the body conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions for easy bracket interchangeability.
Operating at 30-800 mm/s on a 1/8" port with an M6x1.0 male rod thread, this unit generates 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The built-in piston magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches. For sizing context, it provides a safe working load of roughly 60 N, lifting about 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Note that the cushion only decelerates the load near stroke end; it does not function as a brake or lock.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X210SCA Is Used
Light Parts Ejection
Rapidly pushes small molded or stamped parts out of a fixture at speed, relying on the adjustable air cushion to prevent harsh end-of-stroke impacts that could damage delicate components.
Package Diverting
Handles lightweight carton routing on a conveyor line, where the 60 N safe working load is sufficient to nudge boxes and the ISO 6432 body drops into existing clevis mounts.
Lab Automation
Moves sample trays or test tubes in washdown-prone laboratory settings, benefiting from the stainless construction and smooth needle-set deceleration to minimize mechanical noise.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X210SCA the Right Cylinder?
If you need slightly less force, the larger MI bumper-only series lacks this adjustable cushion, so stepping down means losing shock control. Stepping up to the MIC20 bore increases 0.5 MPa push force to 157 N, which is preferable if your payload exceeds the 60 N safe working load of this 16 mm bore. The adjustable cushion matters most when cycling at high speeds or moving heavier masses, preventing harsh impacts at the CA pivot clevis. Because a standard cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost, use an external rod lock or pilot check valve if the load must be held in place. Mount this unit using standard ISO 6432 brackets and pair it with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors, which are fully supported by the -S magnet.
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 MIC16X210SCA FAQ
This 16 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" 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.
The variable air cushion at both ends uses a needle valve to decelerate the piston near stroke end, reducing shock at high speeds. It is not a brake or lock; the cylinder will drift on air loss, so you need an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a vertical load.
