About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X350SU
Delivering 140.7 N of push force at 0.7 MPa, this double-acting stainless steel round-body mini cylinder handles long 350 mm strokes with precision. The adjustable air cushion at both ends lets you dial in needle settings to absorb end-of-stroke shock at high speeds, protecting your payload and cutting noise better than a fixed bumper. Its stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments.
Designed for the ISO 6432 mini-cylinder mounting interface, it drops directly into standard brackets and clevises. The U-style 90-degree rear cover provides flexible port and mounting orientation. With an M5×0.8 port and M6x1.0 male rod thread, it provides a safe working load of about 60 N. The built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for position sensing.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X350SU Is Used
Light Part Diversion
Ideal for rapidly pushing small lightweight packages on a conveyor at high speed, using the adjustable cushion to stop the 350 mm travel smoothly without slamming.
Small Component Ejection
Ejects delicate plastic or machined parts from a fixture using 100.5 N push force, relying on the needle-set air cushion to prevent end-of-stroke impact damage.
Lab Automation Handling
Moves sample trays or testing heads in washdown-prone lab settings, benefiting from the stainless steel build and 5.1 kg vertical lift capacity.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X350SU the Right Cylinder?
At 0.5 MPa this 16 mm bore generates 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull force, lifting about 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. If you need less force, the smaller bore options are MI-only bumper versions without adjustable cushions. If your load is heavier, step up to the MIC20, which provides 157.0 N push at 0.5 MPa. The adjustable cushion is essential when operating at high speeds or moving heavy masses to prevent impact damage.
This cylinder does not hold position on air loss; the piston drifts, and the cushion only decelerates near the stroke end. For a locked load, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, and TC trunnion. The included magnet (-S) enables CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors.
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 MIC16X350SU FAQ
This double-acting cylinder uses 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 force of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet compatible with CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches. The adjustable air cushion at both ends uses a needle valve to decelerate the piston near stroke end to reduce shock, but it is not a brake and does not hold the load.
