Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X65SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X65SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 65mm 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 MIC16X65SCM
Damping high-speed strokes in tight spaces is the core strength of this stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder. The MIC16X65SCM uses a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends to decelerate the load smoothly, reducing shock and noise compared to a fixed bumper. As a double-acting actuator with a 16 mm bore and 65 mm stroke, it pushes with 100.5 N and pulls with 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa.
The built-in piston magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for position sensing, while the CM round rear cover provides flexible porting and mounting orientation. It features a 6 mm piston rod, an M6x1.0 male rod thread, and a 1/8" port. The body conforms to ISO 6432 mini-cylinder mounting dimensions, dropping into standard brackets. With a safe working load of about 60 N, it lifts roughly 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X65SCM Is Used
Small Component Ejection
Pushes light machined parts out of a fixture at high speed. The adjustable air cushion prevents the 100.5 N impact from damaging delicate component edges at the end of the 65 mm stroke.
Light Carton Flap Folding
Folds small cardboard flaps on a packaging line. The stainless build resists washdown, while the needle-set cushion ensures quiet, smooth operation without jarring the conveyor.
Lab Sample Diverting
Diverts vials on a compact test bench. The ISO 6432 mounting dimensions allow the cylinder to fit standard mini-clevises, and the magnet enables precise tracking via DMSG switches.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X65SCM the Right Cylinder?
For lighter duty, the smaller bore in this series family is the MI bumper-only version, which lacks the adjustable cushion. If you need more force, stepping up to the MIC20 yields a 157.0 N push at 0.5 MPa. Choose this 16 mm bore when moving light loads at high speeds where end-of-stroke shock must be minimized. Note that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not lock or hold the load. If air pressure drops, the piston will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve for position holding.
Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, and TC trunnion brackets. The -S suffix indicates the magnet is present and ready for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. A SKU without the S cannot accept a switch.
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 MIC16X65SCM FAQ
This double-acting cylinder features a 1/8" port and an M6x1.0 male rod thread. 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, the push is 140.7 N and the pull is 120.9 N. The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of the stroke to reduce shock; it is not a brake or lock. The piston will drift if air pressure is lost, so you need an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a vertical load. The -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors to track position.
