Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X60SU
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X60SU 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 MIC16X60SU
Taming end-of-stroke shock in tight spaces, the AirTAC MIC16X60SU relies on a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends to decelerate high-speed loads quietly. This 16 mm bore, 60 mm stroke double-acting actuator features a stainless-steel round barrel and piston rod for mild washdown resistance. It conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, dropping directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises.
Delivering 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (86.4 N pull), it suits light-duty positioning. A practical computed insight: this bore yields a safe working load of roughly 60 N, lifting about 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The U-style 90-degree rear cover simplifies port orientation, and the M5×0.8 port matches the compact footprint. Because the -S suffix includes a piston magnet, you can mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for position detection.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X60SU Is Used
Light Parts Ejection
Shoots small plastic or stamped parts out of a press die at high speed, using the adjustable cushion to stop the 60 mm stroke gently without slamming the rear cover.
Small Package Diverting
Pushes lightweight cartons on a sorting line where the 100.5 N push force is sufficient, and the ISO 6432 bracket fits directly into tight conveyor gaps.
Lab Sample Routing
Moves test tubes or vials between stations, benefiting from the stainless build resisting mild cleaning sprays and the -S magnet confirming arrival via a DMSG sensor.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X60SU the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16 mm bore against the family, stepping up to the MIC20X50 provides 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa for heavier payloads, while dropping down means shifting to the MI16 bumper-only variant, which lacks the adjustable cushion entirely. Choose this MIC model when cycle speeds push into the upper ranges and a fixed bumper would transmit too much shock to the load.
Remember that the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it is not a brake. If your application must hold a vertical load during air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Beyond the standard U cover, mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, and TC trunnion brackets 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 MIC16X60SU FAQ
This 16 mm bore double-acting cylinder pushes with 100.5 N and pulls with 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. It uses an M5×0.8 air port.
No, the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of the stroke; it is not a locking brake. If you need to hold a load vertically during air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve. The -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for position feedback.
