The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X75SCA 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.
Dial in end-of-stroke deceleration with the AirTAC MIC16X75SCA, a round-body stainless steel mini cylinder built for double-acting service. Twin adjustable air cushions let you needle-set the exhaust bleed at both ends, smoothly soaking up kinetic energy at high speeds to protect your payload and cut workshop noise. The 16 mm bore develops 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it a solid fit for light-duty positioning.
The riveted stainless barrel and Ø6 mm rod shrug off mild washdown and corrosion, while the 75 mm stroke operates at 30-800 mm/s. Because this bore falls inside the Ø8-Ø25 range, it conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface, dropping directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets. The CA rear pivot cover simplifies clevis mounting. With a safe working load around 60 N, it lifts about 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The M5×0.8 port and M6x1.0 male rod thread keep fittings compact.

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.
Ideal for moving small electronic components or plastic parts at speed, where the 60 N safe working load and adjustable cushion prevent harsh end-of-stroke impacts.
Handles 75 mm stroke actuation on packaging lines, using the needle-set cushion to stop the roller gently without tearing web materials.
The stainless build resists mild cleaning agents, and the ISO 6432 CA pivot mount makes it easy to integrate into compact benchtop sorting gates.
Choose this 16 mm bore when you need roughly 100 N of push at 0.5 MPa with smooth cushioned stops. If your payload is lighter and you can tolerate bumper impact, the smaller MI bumper mini cylinder saves space; if you need more muscle, stepping up to the Ø20 MIC bore adds 157 N of push force at the same pressure. The adjustable cushion shines here on high-speed strokes over 75 mm, preventing end-cap banging that would eventually damage the piston rod.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the load near the stroke end—it is not a lock or brake. If the air supply drops, the piston will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for vertical load holding. This SKU includes the -S piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches, and the CA back cover provides a rear pivot point for angular alignment.
Quick checklist
This 16 mm bore double-acting cylinder pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, push is 140.7 N and pull is 120.9 N. The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses an M5×0.8 port and a Ø6 mm piston rod with an M6x1.0 male thread.
Yes, the -S suffix means it has a built-in piston magnet compatible with CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches. The adjustable air cushion at both ends only decelerates the piston near stroke end to reduce shock; it does not lock or hold the load. You need an external rod lock or pilot check valve to prevent drifting on air loss.
