Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X300SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X300SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 300mm 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 MIC16X300SCM
High-speed actuation meets smooth deceleration in the AirTAC MIC16X300SCM, a stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder equipped with a needle-set air cushion at both ends. As the adjustable-cushion variant of the MI series, it absorbs end-of-stroke impact to protect your payload and reduce noise. The Ø16 bore conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface, dropping directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises.
Built with a corrosion-resistant stainless barrel and rod, this double-acting actuator delivers 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, yielding a safe working load of about 60 N. It lifts approximately 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The 300 mm stroke falls within the standard range, and the -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet for position sensing. The CM round rear cover provides specific port and mounting orientation for tight spaces.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X300SCM Is Used
Light-Part Ejection
Cushions the rapid extension of small plastic or aluminum parts out of a mold at speed, preventing the 100.5 N push force from cracking delicate components.
Package Diverting
Swiftly knocks lightweight cardboard cartons onto a secondary line while the end cushion absorbs the shock, keeping the 6 mm rod from bouncing.
Lab Sample Routing
Stainless construction resists mild washdown, and the 300 mm stroke moves sample trays between stations with smooth, low-noise deceleration.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X300SCM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16 mm bore, stepping down is not an option for cushioned control—the smaller bores (Ø8/10/12) are bumper-only and lack the adjustable cushion. If you need more force, the next size up is the Ø20 MIC, which jumps to 157.0 N push at 0.5 MPa. Choose the MIC16X300SCM when operating at high speeds where a fixed bumper would transmit too much shock.
The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function as a brake or lock. If your application must hold a vertical load during air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. This SKU includes the -S magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The 1/8" port and M6x1.0 male rod thread match standard mini-cylinder hardware.
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 MIC16X300SCM FAQ
This double-acting cylinder uses a 1/8" air port and generates 100.5 N push / 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 140.7 N push / 120.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of the stroke; it is not a brake. The piston will drift on air loss. Use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for load holding. The -S magnet supports CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
