Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X60SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X60SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 60mm stroke, M5×0.8 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 MIC16X60SCA
Designed for high-speed actuation where end-of-stroke shock must be controlled, this double-acting stainless steel round-body mini cylinder features an adjustable air cushion at both ends. A simple needle turn lets you dial in the deceleration to protect the load and cut noise, a clear step up from a fixed bumper. The Ø16 bore pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa, making it a solid fit for compact assemblies. It uses the ISO 6432 mounting interface, so it drops right into standard mini brackets and clevises.
The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. With an M5×0.8 port and a 60 mm stroke, it moves loads safely at roughly 60 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa push force), lifting around 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it is ready for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position switches.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X60SCA Is Used
Light Part Ejection
Uses its 100.5 N push force to flick small plastic parts out of a mould at high speed, relying on the adjustable air cushion to prevent end-of-stroke slamming.
Package Deflection
Diverts small cartons on a sorting line where the 5.1 kg vertical lift capacity easily handles the payload, while the cushion absorbs the rapid directional shift.
Compact Indexing
Fits into tight ISO 6432 standard brackets to push a lightweight slider through a 60 mm stroke, using the needle valve to bring the load to a smooth, quiet stop.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X60SCA the Right Cylinder?
If you need less force, the smaller bore options in this family are MI-only bumper models, so the MIC16 is your starting point for adjustable cushioning. Stepping up to the MIC20 raises the 0.5 MPa push force to 157 N for heavier moving masses. Choose this Ø16 version when cycle speeds are high enough that impact shock would damage a standard bumper cylinder.
The adjustable needle only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not lock or hold the load. If power drops, the rod drifts, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve for suspended loads. This variant carries the CA pivot back cover for clevis mounting, and the built-in -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG sensors.
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 MIC16X60SCA FAQ
This 16 mm bore cylinder has an M5×0.8 port. It generates a push force of 100.5 N and a pull force of 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, push is 140.7 N and pull is 120.9 N. The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of the stroke to reduce shock; it is not a brake or lock. If air is lost, the piston will drift. You need an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended load.
