About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X450CM
Built for rapid linear motion, the AirTAC MIC16X450CM is a double-acting, round-body stainless steel mini cylinder featuring a 16 mm bore and a 450 mm stroke. A needle-set variable air cushion at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact, protecting your payload at high cycling speeds while running quieter than a fixed bumper. The stainless barrel and rod shrug off mild corrosion and washdown environments.
Operating at 0.15-1.0 MPa with an M5×0.8 port, this unit pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa. In practical terms, it handles a safe working load of roughly 60 N, lifting about 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. It conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions. This specific CM cover SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X450CM Is Used
Light Part Ejection
Pushes small plastic parts out of a mold using 100.5 N force, relying on the dual air cushions to prevent cracking at fast cycle speeds.
Package Diverting
Sorts lightweight cartons on a washdown line where the stainless build resists moisture and the 450 mm stroke clears the belt.
Lab Sample Routing
Moves test tubes between stations with a 5.1 kg vertical lift capacity, using the ISO 6432 dimensions to fit standard mini-clevis brackets.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X450CM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16 mm bore, stepping down is not an option for cushioned models, as smaller bores only offer the MI bumper style. If your task needs more force, the next size up is the MIC20, which pushes 157 N at 0.5 MPa. The adjustable cushion is essential if you are moving loads near the 60 N safe working limit at high speeds, as it prevents harsh slamming. Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not lock or hold the load. If you need to prevent drift on air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve. You can mount this via the CM rear cover, or use LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion brackets.
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 MIC16X450CM FAQ
This 16 mm bore cylinder uses an M5×0.8 port and delivers a push force of 100.5 N and a pull force of 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, it pushes 140.7 N and pulls 120.9 N. The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for sensing. The defining feature here is the adjustable air cushion at both ends, which replaces fixed bumpers to decelerate loads smoothly.
