About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X50SUTC
Designed for high-speed actuation where end-of-stroke shock must be controlled, this stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder features an adjustable air cushion at both ends. Tuning the cushion needle lets you decelerate the load smoothly, cutting impact noise and wear compared to a fixed bumper. As a double-acting actuator with a 16 mm bore, it provides 140.7 N of push force at 0.7 MPa and uses an M5×0.8 port.
The Ø16 mm body conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, dropping directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises. Its stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. With a safe working load of roughly 60 N, it lifts about 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. This SKU includes a built-in piston magnet for position sensing.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X50SUTC Is Used
Small Parts Ejection
Ejecting light plastic parts at high speed relies on the adjustable cushion to prevent endcap slamming, safely handling loads near the 60 N safe working limit.
Package Diverting
Diverting small cartons on a conveyor benefits from the smooth deceleration provided by the dual needle valves, reducing product damage during rapid strokes.
Lab Sample Sorting
Moving delicate lab tubes uses the stainless construction for mild washdown resistance, while the cushion absorbs kinetic energy to protect fragile items.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X50SUTC the Right Cylinder?
For lighter duty, the MI16 bumper version offers similar size but lacks adjustable cushions, making the MIC the superior choice when cycling at high speeds. If you need more force, stepping up to the MIC20X50 increases push force at 0.5 MPa to 157 N. Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the load 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 pilot check valve.
This configuration includes the -S magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. It comes with a U back cover for 90-degree port orientation and a TC trunnion mount, alongside an M6x1.0 male rod thread.
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 MIC16X50SUTC FAQ
The 16 mm bore double-acting cylinder uses an M5×0.8 port. 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.
Yes, the -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet compatible with CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches. The adjustable air cushion at both ends uses a needle to regulate deceleration, absorbing shock at high speeds without acting as a locking brake.
