Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X225SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X225SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 225mm 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.

About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X225SCM
Designed for high-speed actuation where end-of-stroke shock must be tamed, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder uses an adjustable air cushion at both ends. By turning a needle valve, you dial in the deceleration to protect the load and cut noise, a step up from a fixed bumper. The Ø16 bore conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface, dropping directly into standard mini brackets and clevises.
The riveted stainless barrel and piston rod shrug off mild corrosion and washdown environments. With an M5×0.8 port and a 225 mm stroke, it generates 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. In practical terms, this equates to a safe working load of roughly 60 N, or lifting about 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet for position sensing.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X225SCM Is Used
Light-Part Ejection
Uses the 100.5 N push force to knock small plastic parts from a mold, relying on the adjustable cushion to prevent bounce-back at 800 mm/s.
Package Diverting
Pushes lightweight cartons on a sorting line where the 5.1 kg vertical lift capacity and ISO 6432 foot bracket keep the motion compact and controlled.
Lab Sample Routing
Handles stainless-steel washdown requirements in analytical equipment, using the 225 mm stroke to shuttle trays between stations smoothly.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X225SCM the Right Cylinder?
This 16 mm bore fills the smallest cushioned role in the MIC family; stepping down means moving to the MI bumper series, which lacks adjustable deceleration. If your application requires more force, the next size up is the Ø20 bore, delivering 157 N of push at 0.5 MPa. Choose this cushioned model when operating at high speeds or moving masses that would otherwise slam into the end caps. Keep in mind the air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end and does not function as a brake; if you need to hold a load vertically during air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
The CM round rear cover provides specific port and mounting orientation for compact spaces. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you can directly mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic or reed switches along the body for precise end-position feedback.
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 MIC16X225SCM FAQ
This double-acting cylinder uses an M5×0.8 port and a 6 mm piston rod. 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 -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The adjustable air cushion at both ends uses a needle to restrict exhaust flow, decelerating the piston smoothly at high speeds; it is a shock absorber, not a locking brake.
