About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X60CM
Built for compact automation, the AirTAC MIC16X60CM is a double-acting, round-body stainless steel mini cylinder featuring a 16 mm bore and 60 mm stroke. A variable air cushion at both ends allows you to dial in end-of-stroke deceleration, effectively absorbing high-speed shock and reducing noise compared to fixed bumper designs. The stainless steel barrel and piston rod provide reliable mild corrosion and washdown resistance. This specific SKU lacks a magnet and therefore cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors; choose the -S variant if position feedback is required.
Operating at speeds from 30 to 800 mm/s, this model uses a 1/8" port and an M6x1.0 male rod thread. It generates 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making its safe working load roughly 60 N. In a vertical lift scenario with a 2:1 safety margin, it can handle about 5.1 kg. The rear CM round cover provides specific mounting orientation for tight spaces.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X60CM Is Used
Light Part Ejection
Uses its 100.5 N push force to knock small plastic parts out of a molding area, relying on the tuned air cushion to stop the rod smoothly without bouncing delicate components.
Package Diverting
Pushes lightweight cartons on a conveyor at high speed, where the stainless build resists dust and the adjustable cushion prevents loud metal impacts at the end of the 60 mm stroke.
Lab Sample Routing
Moves test tubes between stations with a safe working load of roughly 60 N, benefiting from the washdown-resistant stainless barrel in cleanroom or medical laboratory environments.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X60CM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16 mm bore, stepping down is not an option within the MIC cushioned range, as smaller diameters only offer fixed bumpers in the MI series. If your application requires more force, the next size up is the MIC20X50, which delivers 157.0 N push at 0.5 MPa. The adjustable cushion on the MIC16X60CM is essential when operating at high speeds or moving delicate loads, letting you tune the needle to prevent hard impacts.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function as a brake or lock. If your system loses air, the piston will drift, so you must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold a suspended load. This non-magnetic version cannot accept sensors, and you can mount it using standard ISO 6432 mini-cylinder brackets, foot brackets (LB), or flanges (FA).
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 MIC16X60CM FAQ
This 16 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" 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.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for sensing. The adjustable air cushion at both ends only controls deceleration and does not lock the rod in place.
