About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X35SCM
Designed with a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends, the AirTAC MIC16X35SCM soaks up high-speed end-of-stroke shock to protect your payload. This 16 mm bore, 35 mm stroke double-acting actuator features a stainless-steel round-body barrel and rod for mild washdown resistance. It conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface, dropping directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises.
In the 16 mm force class, it generates 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, peaking at a theoretical 20.5 kgf. For practical sizing, expect a safe working load of about 60 N, meaning it lifts roughly 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The M5×0.8 port and M6x1.0 male rod thread keep the pneumatic and mechanical hookups compact.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X35SCM Is Used
Light Part Ejection
Uses the 100.5 N push force at 0.5 MPa to knock small plastic parts from a mold, relying on the adjustable cushion to soften the return impact at high cycle rates.
Package Diverting
Pushes lightweight cartons on a sorting line, where the stainless build resists humidity and the 5.1 kg vertical lift capacity handles small box transfers.
Small Component Clamping
Secures delicate electronic housings during an assembly process, using the needle-set cushion to prevent crushing forces at the end of the 35 mm stroke.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X35SCM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16 mm bore, dropping down is not an option for a cushioned model, as the smaller 8/10/12 mm bores only offer fixed bumpers. Stepping up to the MIC20X35S gives you a stronger 157.0 N push at 0.5 MPa if your payload exceeds the 60 N safe working load. The adjustable cushion matters most when cycling at high speeds between 30-800 mm/s, where the needle valve lets you dial in deceleration to cut noise and impact.
Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you can mount CMSG, DMSG or EMSG reed and electronic switches for position sensing. The CM round rear cover provides a basic back-end configuration. Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not lock or hold the load. If air pressure drops, the rod 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 MIC16X35SCM FAQ
This 16 mm bore cylinder uses an M5×0.8 port. At 0.5 MPa it provides 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it provides 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. The adjustable air cushion at both ends only decelerates the piston near stroke end to reduce shock; it is not a brake. The piston will drift on air loss, so use a pilot check valve or rod lock to hold a load.
