About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X450SCM
Soaking up end-of-stroke shock at high speeds, the AirTAC MIC16X450SCM relies on a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends to protect your payload. This double-acting, round-body stainless steel mini cylinder uses a 16 mm bore and a 450 mm stroke, conforming to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for straightforward bracket interchangeability. The CM round rear cover provides a clean back-end profile for flexible port and mounting orientation.
Generating 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (86.4 N pull), it yields a safe working load of about 60 N, lifting roughly 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The -S suffix adds a piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. Featuring an M5×0.8 port, an M6x1.0 male rod thread, and a 6 mm rod, the stainless build resists mild washdown corrosion.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X450SCM Is Used
Light-Part Ejection
Uses the 100.5 N push force to knock small plastic parts from a mold, relying on the adjustable cushion to decelerate the 6 mm rod smoothly at fast cycle rates.
Package Diverting
Pushes light cartons on a sorting line where the 5.1 kg vertical lift capacity handles the diverter arm weight without bouncing at the stroke ends.
Lab Sample Routing
Moves test tubes between stations, benefiting from the stainless steel construction for mild washdown resistance and the CM rear cover for tight spaces.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X450SCM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16 mm bore unit, stepping down is not an option for a cushioned MIC, as smaller bores only offer the fixed-bumper MI variant. If your application demands more force, the next size up is the MIC20, which jumps to 157 N push at 0.5 MPa. The adjustable cushion proves essential when cycling at high speeds or moving a heavy load, letting you dial in deceleration to prevent hard impacts.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function as a brake. If you need to hold a load vertically during air loss, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. You can mount this unit using LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion hardware, and the internal magnet supports reed or electronic sensing.
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 MIC16X450SCM FAQ
This 16 mm bore cylinder features an M5×0.8 port and an M6x1.0 male rod thread. It generates 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 force of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The -S suffix means a piston magnet is built-in, allowing you to mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for detection. The needle-set variable air cushion at both ends absorbs high-speed shock, but it only decelerates the piston and will not lock or hold the load on air loss.
