Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X330SU
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X330SU is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 330mm 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 MIC16X330SU
Delivering 140.7 N of push force at 0.7 MPa, the AirTAC MIC16X330SU is a double-acting, round-body stainless steel mini cylinder built for a 330 mm stroke. Its stainless barrel and Ø6 mm piston rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. Because the bore is Ø16, it conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface, dropping directly into standard mini brackets and clevises.
The defining feature of this build is the adjustable air cushion at both ends. A needle valve lets you tune the deceleration to absorb high-speed end-of-stroke shock, protecting the load and reducing noise compared to a fixed bumper. The -S suffix means a piston magnet is installed, enabling CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic switches for position sensing. Derived from the 100.5 N push force at 0.5 MPa, expect a safe working load around 60 N, lifting roughly 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X330SU Is Used
Light-Part Ejection
Uses the 100.5 N push force to knock small plastic parts out of a mold, relying on the adjustable cushion to soften the retract stop at high speed.
Package Diverting
Pushes light cartons on a conveyor line, where the 5.1 kg vertical lift capacity and ISO 6432 bracket interchangeability simplify machine integration.
Lab Sample Handling
Moves delicate test tubes or trays over the 330 mm stroke, benefiting from the stainless construction and tunable end-cushioning to prevent splashing.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X330SU the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16 mm bore, stepping down is not an option for a cushioned model, as the smaller Ø8/10/12 sizes only come as bumper versions without adjustable cushions. If you need more force, the next size up is the Ø20 bore, which provides 157 N push at 0.5 MPa. Choose this Ø16 model for high-speed, lighter-duty cycles where the adjustable cushion is critical to prevent impact damage. It uses a 1/8" port and an M6x1.0 male rod thread.
The U-style back cover provides a 90-degree port and mounting orientation for tight layouts. Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function as a brake or lock. If the machine loses air, the piston will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for suspended loads.
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 MIC16X330SU FAQ
This 16 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/8" port. 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.
Yes, the -S suffix means a magnet is built-in for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end to reduce shock; it is not a lock, so the cylinder will drift if air pressure is lost.
