About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X40SCM
Dial in end-of-stroke deceleration on your compact machines with the AirTAC MIC16X40SCM. As a double-acting, round-body stainless steel mini cylinder, it uses an adjustable air cushion at both ends to absorb high-speed shock, protecting your payloads far better than a fixed rubber bumper. The stainless barrel and rod shrug off mild washdowns, and the built-in piston magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches.
In the 16 mm bore class, this unit generates 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it ideal for light part handling. That translates to a safe working load of about 60 N, or roughly 5.1 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 safety margin. It features a 1/8 inch port, an M6x1.0 male rod thread, and conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions for easy bracket interchange. The rear CM cover provides a specific mounting orientation for tight spaces.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X40SCM Is Used
Light Part Ejection
Eject small plastic parts from a mold at high speed. The adjustable air cushion softly stops the 6 mm rod, preventing the 60 N load from slamming and marking the product.
Package Diverting
Divert lightweight cartons on a packaging line. The stainless build handles dusty environments, while the cushioned stroke ensures quiet stops during continuous 40 mm shifts.
Lab Sample Routing
Push sample trays into a testing station. The ISO 6432 dimensions fit standard mini-clevises, and the smooth deceleration keeps delicate lab fluids from splashing.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X40SCM the Right Cylinder?
If you need more force than the 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa provided here, stepping up to the MIC20X40SCM yields 157.0 N. Dropping down means leaving the MIC cushion family entirely, as the smaller MI bumper version lacks adjustable deceleration. Choose this cushioned model when your 30-800 mm/s cycle speeds create noticeable impact noise. Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the load near the stroke end; it does not lock the rod. If you must prevent drift on air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
This SKU includes the -S magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. You can mount it using LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion hardware. The 40 mm stroke stays well within the 500 mm maximum standard range for this bore.
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 MIC16X40SCM FAQ
This 16 mm bore cylinder has a 1/8 inch port and an M6x1.0 male rod thread. It delivers 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 it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches. The adjustable air cushion at both ends uses a needle valve to trap exhaust air, decelerating the piston to cut shock at high speeds. It is a damper, not a brake.
