About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X215SU
Designed with a built-in piston magnet for position sensing, the AirTAC MIC16X215SU is a double-acting, round-body stainless steel mini cylinder. A variable air cushion at both ends allows you to needle-set the deceleration, soaking up high-speed stroke shock to protect your load and reduce noise. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments, while the U-style rear cover provides a 90-degree mounting orientation. It uses an M5×0.8 port and an M6x1.0 male rod thread.
In the 16 mm bore class, this unit delivers a push force of 100.5 N and a pull force of 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa. For practical sizing, expect a safe working load of about 60 N, which means it lifts roughly 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Conforming to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for mini cylinders, it drops directly into standard brackets and clevises.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X215SU Is Used
Small Part Ejection
Uses the 100.5 N push force to eject light plastic components from a molding area, relying on the adjustable cushion to soften the 215 mm travel stop.
Package Diverting
Pushes small cartons on a conveyor line where the 5.1 kg vertical lift capacity handles the weight and the U-style cover mounts neatly to the side frame.
Lab Sample Routing
Moves delicate test tubes between stations; the stainless build resists cleaning chemicals and the needle-set cushion prevents sudden glass-breaking shocks.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X215SU the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16 mm bore against the family, stepping up to the MIC20X50 yields a higher 157.0 N push force at 0.5 MPa, while dropping down means relying on the smaller MI bumper-only variants. The adjustable cushion matters most when driving the 215 mm stroke at high speeds up to 800 mm/s, preventing harsh end-of-travel impacts. Keep in mind the cushion only decelerates the piston; it does not function as a brake. If your application must hold a load on air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it is fully compatible with CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG reed or electronic switches. You can pair it with LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion mounts to fit your frame.
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 MIC16X215SU FAQ
This 16 mm bore cylinder features an M5×0.8 port and an M6x1.0 male rod thread. It generates a push force of 100.5 N and a pull force of 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 140.7 N and pull is 120.9 N. The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet, allowing you to mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for position detection. The variable air cushion at both ends lets you turn a needle valve to regulate exhaust flow, decelerating the piston smoothly at stroke end to reduce shock and noise.
