Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X45SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X45SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 45mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments. Its ISO 6432 mounting interface makes it a compact drop-in for standard mini-cylinder fixtures.

About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X45SCM
Designed for high-speed actuation in compact spaces, this double-acting stainless steel mini cylinder features an adjustable air cushion at both ends. By turning a needle valve, you tune the end-of-stroke deceleration to eliminate shock and noise, a major upgrade over fixed bumper models. The Ø16 mm round-body build conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface, dropping directly into standard mini brackets and clevises.
Equipped with a 1/8" port and an M6x1.0 male rod thread, it generates 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. This translates to a safe working load of roughly 60 N, or a vertical lift capacity of about 5.1 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for position sensing, while the CM round rear cover provides a clean, versatile mounting orientation.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X45SCM Is Used
Light-Part Ejection
Rapidly ejects small molded components. The adjustable air cushion silently decelerates the 45 mm stroke, preventing the 5.1 kg load capacity from slamming the endcap.
Film Feed Diverter
Routes packaging webs at 800 mm/s. The stainless barrel resists mild washdown chemicals, while the ISO 6432 dimensions match existing machine clevises perfectly.
Lab Sample Pusher
Moves test tubes into analysis carousels. The CMSG sensor tracks the 45 mm travel, and the 60 N safe working load easily handles delicate lab fixtures.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X45SCM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16 mm bore, compare it directly against the larger MIC20, which steps up to 157.0 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If you need less power, the smaller MI12 is only available as a bumper version and lacks the adjustable cushion. Choose the MIC16X45SCM when operating at high speeds where the needle-set cushion can properly decelerate the load. Remember that the air cushion only slows the piston near the stroke end; it does not act as a brake. If your application must hold a load vertically during air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
This SKU includes the -S magnet, allowing you to mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors directly onto the stainless barrel. You can pair the CM back cover with LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion mounts to fit your frame.
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 MIC16X45SCM FAQ
This 16 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" 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 force of 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 uses a needle to restrict exhaust flow, decelerating the piston smoothly at high speeds. It only slows the load near stroke end and will not hold position on air loss.
