Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X65SU
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X65SU 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 MIC16X65SU
Dial in end-of-stroke deceleration with the AirTAC MIC16X65SU, a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built from stainless steel for mild washdown resistance. Its adjustable air cushion at both ends absorbs high-speed shock, protecting your payloads far better than a fixed rubber bumper. A 65 mm stroke moves a 6 mm piston rod via a 1/8" port, conforming to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for easy bracket swaps.
In the 16 mm bore class, this actuator generates 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making its safe working load roughly 60 N. It also provides a vertical lift capacity of about 5.1 kg when applying a 2:1 safety margin. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it is fully ready for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensing. The U-style 90-degree rear cover further simplifies compact spatial routing.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X65SU Is Used
Light Part Ejection
Pushes small plastic or stamped parts out of a mold at speed, relying on the adjustable cushion to prevent the 6 mm rod from slamming the end cap.
Package Diverting
Handles lightweight carton routing on a 90-degree U-cover mount, using the 5.1 kg vertical lift margin to actuate diverter arms smoothly.
Lab Automation
Moves test tubes or small sample trays in washdown-prone environments, where the stainless barrel resists mild corrosion and the -S magnet confirms position.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X65SU the Right Cylinder?
If you need less force, the smaller 8 mm and 12 mm bores in this family only offer fixed bumpers, meaning you lose the adjustable cushioning advantage. Stepping up to the 20 mm bore raises the 0.5 MPa push force to 157 N if your payload exceeds the 60 N safe working load of this 16 mm unit. Choose this 65 mm stroke model when cycle speeds approach the 30-800 mm/s range and you need needle-tuned deceleration to prevent impact damage.
Remember that the adjustable cushion only reduces shock near the stroke end; it does not function as a brake. If the air supply drops, the piston will drift, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for suspended loads. The -S magnet enables electronic or reed switches, and the stainless build pairs well with LB, FA, SDB, or TC mountings.
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 MIC16X65SU FAQ
This 16 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/8" port and a 6 mm rod. 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.
It features a needle-set adjustable air cushion at both ends to decelerate the load before impact, but this is not a locking brake. Because this model includes the -S magnet, you can directly mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for position detection.
