Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X75SU
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X75SU is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 75mm stroke, 1/8" 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 MIC16X75SU
Dial in end-of-stroke deceleration with the AirTAC MIC16X75SU, a round-body stainless mini cylinder built for double-acting service. A variable air cushion at both ends lets you turn a needle valve to soak up high-speed shock, protecting the load and cutting noise far better than a fixed bumper. The stainless-steel barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments, while the U-style rear cover provides a 90-degree mounting orientation. Because this is a 16mm bore, it drops directly into standard ISO 6432 mini-cylinder mounting brackets and clevises.
In the 16mm force class, this actuator generates 100.5N push and 86.4N pull at 0.5 MPa, peaking at a theoretical 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. For practical sizing, expect a safe working load of about 60N, or roughly 5.1kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The 1/8" port feeds the 6mm piston rod, and the built-in -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches for closed-loop feedback.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X75SU Is Used
Light-Part Ejection
Uses the 100.5N push force at 0.5 MPa to knock small molded parts off a fixture, relying on the adjustable cushion to soften the end stop at high cycling speeds.
Package Diverting
Pushes lightweight cartons on a sorting line where the 5.1kg vertical lift capacity handles small boxes without slamming them into the stop gate.
Lab Sample Routing
Moves test tubes or small vials in a washdown-prone environment; the stainless construction resists mild corrosion while the -S magnet tracks position.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X75SU the Right Cylinder?
If you need slightly less push, the larger MI bumper-only series lacks the adjustable cushion, so the MIC16 remains the smallest bore offering needle-set deceleration. Stepping up to the MIC20X75 increases your 0.5MPa push force to 157N, which is the logical upgrade if the 16mm class stalls under load. Choose this 16mm model for high-speed, low-mass moves where shock absorption matters more than raw thrust. Remember that the air cushion only decelerates near the stroke end; it is not a brake. If the load must hold position on air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Pair the U-style back cover with LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion hardware to suit your frame.
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 MIC16X75SU FAQ
This 16mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" port and a 6mm rod. It delivers 100.5N push and 86.4N pull at 0.5 MPa, 140.7N push and 120.9N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum force of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The -S suffix means it has a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. However, the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end; it does not lock or hold the load on air loss. Use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for vertical holding.
