About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X375SCA
Delivering 140.7 N of push force at 0.7 MPa, the AirTAC MIC16X375SCA is a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built for demanding, high-speed tasks. It features a stainless-steel barrel and piston rod to resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. The built-in piston magnet (-S) allows for direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches.
Unlike standard bumper models, this unit uses an adjustable air cushion at both stroke ends. Turning the cushion needle lets you dial in the deceleration to absorb end-of-stroke shock, protecting your payload and lowering noise. With a 375 mm stroke and a CA rear pivot cover, it offers a calculated safe working load of roughly 60 N, lifting about 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Air connects via an M5×0.8 port.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X375SCA Is Used
Light Parts Ejection
Shoots small plastic or metal parts out of a press die at high speed, using the adjustable cushion to stop the 375 mm rod smoothly without slamming the rear cover.
Package Diverting
Pushes lightweight cartons off a main conveyor belt; the stainless build handles occasional washdown, while the CA pivot mount accommodates the arc of the diverting arm.
Lab Sample Handling
Moves sample trays horizontally where the 60 N safe working load is plenty, relying on the tuned air cushion to prevent sudden jolts that could spill liquids.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X375SCA the Right Cylinder?
If you need less force, dropping down is not an option within the MIC cushioned range, as smaller bores (Ø8/10/12) only come as bumper-equipped MI types. Stepping up to the MIC20X50 yields 157 N push at 0.5 MPa. You should select this Ø16 bore when your speed hits the 30-800 mm/s range and you need to actively tune out end-of-stroke shock rather than relying on a fixed rubber bumper.
The adjustable cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of its travel; it does not function as a brake or lock. If your application must hold a vertical load during a compressed air loss, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. This specific SKU includes the -S magnet for sensors and uses the ISO 6432 mounting interface, ensuring it drops right into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises.
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 MIC16X375SCA FAQ
This 16 mm bore cylinder uses an M5×0.8 air 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.
No. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of its stroke to reduce shock; it is not a brake or lock. The piston will drift if air is lost. For position holding, use an external rod lock or pilot check valve. The -S magnet enables CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors.
