Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X75CM
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X75CM 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 MIC16X75CM
Designed for high-speed actuation, this double-acting stainless steel round-body mini cylinder uses an adjustable air cushion at both ends to decelerate the piston smoothly, eliminating the end-of-stroke bang typical of bumper models. The Ø16 bore conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface, dropping directly into standard mini brackets and clevises. It features a 75 mm stroke, an M5×0.8 port, and a CM round rear cover for flexible port and mounting orientation.
In the 16 mm class, the unit generates 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, peaking at a theoretical 20.5 kgf. This translates to a safe working load of about 60 N, capable of lifting roughly 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild washdown corrosion. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors; the -S variant is required for position detection.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X75CM Is Used
Light Part Ejection
Cushions the rapid extension of small plastic parts from a mold, using the 100.5 N push force to clear the cavity without slamming against the end cap.
Package Diverting
Ideal for pushing lightweight cartons on a conveyor at high cycle rates, where the adjustable air cushion prevents shock damage to the diverter arm.
Lab Automation Gates
Handles the 75 mm stroke to open and close access doors on testing enclosures, benefiting from the stainless build during routine wipe-downs.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X75CM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16 mm bore, stepping down is not an option within the MIC cushion family, as the smaller Ø8, Ø10, and Ø12 bores only come as bumper-equipped MI types. If your application requires more force, the next size up is the MIC20X75, which boosts output to 157 N push at 0.5 MPa. Choose this Ø16 model for light, fast-moving loads where the needle-set air cushion can effectively absorb kinetic energy and reduce noise.
The adjustable cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function as a brake or lock. If air pressure drops, the piston will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for suspended loads. This CM cover version offers a rounded back for specific mounting layouts, and you must select the -S magnet option if your control system requires position sensing.
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 MIC16X75CM FAQ
This 16 mm bore cylinder features an M5×0.8 port and a 75 mm stroke. At 0.5 MPa it provides 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull force. 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 a magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches; you need the -S variant for sensing. The adjustable air cushion at both ends uses a needle valve to trap exhaust air, decelerating the piston to reduce shock at high speeds, but it is not a locking brake.
