The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X70SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 70mm 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.
Built for rapid, shock-sensitive tasks, the AirTAC MIC16X70SCA is a double-acting round-body mini cylinder with a 16 mm bore and 70 mm stroke. Its stainless-steel barrel and rod shrug off mild corrosion, while the CA rear pivot cover simplifies clevis mounting. A needle-set air cushion at both ends soaks up end-of-stroke impact, running quieter than a fixed bumper.
Delivering 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, it yields a safe working load of about 60 N and lifts roughly 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. It uses an M5×0.8 port and an M6x1.0 male rod thread. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you can fit CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors directly.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MI/MIC (ISO 6432) datasheet. Barrel & rod: stainless steel (round-body, riveted construction). Thread options: PT (blank) / G.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |

| 0.7 MPa | 141 N | 121 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 21 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

MI-family variants: MI / MIC (double acting ±cushion), MSI / MTI (single acting push / pull), MID / MICD (double rod ±cushion), MIJ / MICJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / R / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
Cushioned end-of-stroke deceleration protects delicate plastic parts from cracking when ejected at high speed.
The 60 N safe working load easily pushes small cartons off a belt, while the stainless rod resists washdown.
CMSG sensors track the 70 mm stroke precisely to index tiny electronic components into testing trays.
For lighter duty, the MI bumper mini lacks adjustable cushions; for heavier loads, step up to the MIC20 (157.0 N push @0.5 MPa). Choose this 16 mm bore when you need ISO 6432 mounting interchangeability and high-speed cycling where tuning the end-of-stroke deceleration protects the payload.
The air cushion only decelerates near the stroke end and does not lock the rod. If you must prevent drift on air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve. Mount it via the CA clevis, LB foot, FA flange or TC trunnion.
Quick checklist
This 16 mm bore cylinder has an M5×0.8 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 max of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end to reduce shock; it is not a brake, so use an external rod lock for load holding.
