Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X35CA
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X35CA is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 35mm 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 MIC16X35CA
High-speed actuation in tight spaces is where the AirTAC MIC16X35CA excels, using a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends to decelerate the load smoothly rather than slamming into a fixed bumper. This double-acting, round-body stainless-steel mini cylinder pushes with 100.5 N and pulls with 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa. Its M5×0.8 port and M6x1.0 male rod thread drop directly into standard ISO 6432 mini-cylinder mounting dimensions, and the stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments.
For practical sizing, a safe working load sits around 60 N, meaning it lifts about 5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The CA rear pivot cover provides a clevis mount for angular alignment. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors without switching to the -S variant.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X35CA Is Used
Small Parts Ejection
Cycles rapidly to push light plastic components out of a molding nest, using the adjustable cushion to prevent the 6 mm rod from shocking the ejector plate.
Package Deflection
Sorts small cartons on a conveyor by extending 35 mm to actuate a deflector gate, handling the 60 N safe working load without bouncing.
Lab Sample Routing
Pivots a tube guide in a washdown diagnostic machine, relying on the stainless steel construction and CA clevis mount for reliable angular motion.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X35CA the Right Cylinder?
If you need less force, the smaller bore options are only available in the MI bumper series, which lacks the adjustable end-cushioning that makes the MIC ideal for high-speed cycling. Stepping up to the MIC20X35 raises your 0.5 MPa push force to 157 N. The adjustable cushion is critical when moving heavier loads at speed, but remember it only decelerates near the stroke end and does not act as a brake. If your application must hold a load vertically during air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
Mount this 16 mm bore unit using LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion brackets. Because this is a non-magnet SKU, position sensing is impossible; specify the -S option if your control system requires CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
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 MIC16X35CA FAQ
This 16 mm bore cylinder features an M5×0.8 port and an M6x1.0 male rod thread. At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 100.5 N and pulls with 86.4 N. At 0.7 MPa the push force is 140.7 N and pull is 120.9 N. The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must select the -S magnet variant for position sensing. The adjustable air cushion at both ends only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and does not lock or hold the load.
