Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X70SU
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X70SU 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.

About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X70SU
Designed for rapid actuation, the AirTAC MIC16X70SU relies on a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends to decelerate the piston smoothly, eliminating the harsh impact typical of fixed-bumper units. Built as a double-acting, round-body stainless steel mini cylinder, its riveted barrel and Ø6 mm rod shrug off mild washdown corrosion. The 16 mm bore generates 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, translating to a safe working load of roughly 60 N or a vertical lift of about 5.1 kg with a 2:1 margin.
This 70 mm stroke unit uses an M5×0.8 port and an M6x1.0 male rod thread. Because the -S suffix equips the piston with a magnet, you can mount CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches for position sensing. The U-style back cover provides a 90-degree rear port orientation, and the body conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions for easy bracket interchange.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X70SU Is Used
Light-Part Ejection
Shoots small plastic or stamped parts out of a fixture at speed, using the adjustable cushion to stop the 70 mm stroke gently without bouncing the component.
Package Deflection
Pushes lightweight cartons on a sorting line where the 60 N safe working load easily tips or reorients items without crushing them.
Lab Dispensing
Moves a dispensing head vertically to lift about 5.1 kg of fluid or media safely, relying on the stainless build for mildly humid environments.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X70SU the Right Cylinder?
If your payload is extremely light, dropping down to an 8 mm or 10 mm bore saves space, though you must switch to the non-cushioned MI bumper series. If your load exceeds the 100.5 N push force at 0.5 MPa, stepping up to the MIC20X50 yields 157.0 N. The adjustable cushion on this 16 mm bore is essential when cycling at high speeds up to 800 mm/s, as it absorbs kinetic energy without banging. Remember that air loss will cause the piston to drift; the cushion only decelerates at stroke end and will not lock the load, so fit a pilot check valve if you need to hold position vertically.
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 MIC16X70SU FAQ
This 16 mm bore, double-acting cylinder uses 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 maximum force of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S suffix means a magnet is built-in for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. The variable air cushion at both ends uses a needle valve to tune deceleration, reducing shock at high speeds, but it acts only as a damper and will not lock or hold the load on air loss.
