Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X75CA
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X75CA is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 75mm 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 MIC16X75CA
Designed for rapid, shock-sensitive tasks, this double-acting stainless steel round-body mini cylinder replaces fixed bumpers with a needle-adjustable air cushion at both ends. You can tune the end-of-stroke deceleration to protect payloads and cut noise at high cycling speeds. The Ø16 bore conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface, dropping into standard mini-cylinder brackets, and the CA rear pivot cover simplifies clevis mounting.
In the 16 mm class it generates 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, peaking at a 20.5 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa. That translates to a safe working load of roughly 60 N, or about 5.1 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 safety margin. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown. Note this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors; you would need the -S variant for position detection.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X75CA Is Used
Light-Part Ejection
Tuned cushioning absorbs the impact of rapidly ejecting small molded components, protecting fragile parts from end-of-stroke slamming.
Package Diverting
Provides the 100.5 N push needed to deflect light cartons on a sorting line without the harsh rebound of a rubber bumper.
Lab Sample Handling
The stainless build withstands wipe-down in clean areas while the 75 mm stroke moves sample trays smoothly at high cycle rates.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X75CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16 mm bore, dropping down is not an option for cushioned models, as the smaller Ø8/10/12 sizes only offer fixed bumpers (the MI series). Stepping up to the Ø20 MIC bore raises the 0.5 MPa push force to 157 N if you need more authority. Choose this Ø16 unit for high-speed moves where the adjustable needle cushion can dissipate kinetic energy without slamming. It operates at 30-800 mm/s with an M5×0.8 port.
Because the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end, it does not function as a brake or lock. If your application must hold a vertical load during air loss or valve centering, the piston will drift; add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. For mounting, pair the CA rear clevis with LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot or TC trunnion front options as needed.
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 MIC16X75CA FAQ
This 16 mm bore cylinder uses an M5×0.8 port and an M6x1.0 male rod thread. At 0.5 MPa it provides 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull; at 0.7 MPa it provides 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. You must select the -S variant for sensing. The adjustable air cushion at both ends only decelerates the stroke and does not lock or hold the load.
