About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X30CM
Generating 140.7 N of push force at 0.7 MPa, this double-acting stainless steel round-body mini cylinder handles rapid 30 mm strokes with precision. The CM round rear cover provides a compact footprint for tight assemblies. An M5×0.8 port supplies air to the 6 mm piston rod.
Twin adjustable air cushions replace hard bumpers to silently absorb end-of-stroke kinetic energy at high speeds. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild washdown corrosion, and the body conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions. With a 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, it yields a safe working load of about 60 N, lifting roughly 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X30CM Is Used
Light Parts Ejection
Shoots small plastic components out of a mould with 140.7 N at 0.7 MPa, using the tuned cushion to prevent bounce.
Package Diverting
Pushes light cartons across a belt with a safe 60 N working load, where the compact CM cover fits narrow gaps.
Small Part Sorting
Handles rapid 30 mm sorting strokes at up to 800 mm/s, relying on air cushions to silence end-of-stroke impacts.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X30CM the Right Cylinder?
For lighter tasks, the MI12 bumper cylinder offers less force but lacks adjustable cushions; stepping up to the MIC20X30 provides 157.0 N at 0.5 MPa for heavier pushing. Choose this 16 mm bore when moving light masses rapidly, where tuning the needle valve prevents end-cap slamming. It drops into standard ISO 6432 mini brackets and clevises easily.
Because this SKU lacks the -S suffix, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches. Note that the air cushion only decelerates the load near stroke end; it will not hold position on air loss. For suspended loads, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
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 MIC16X30CM FAQ
This 16 mm bore cylinder features 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 of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU lacks the internal magnet, so CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches will not function. You must select the -S variant for position sensing. The adjustable air cushion and stainless build are present to manage high-speed shock and mild corrosion.
