About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X75U
High-speed actuation demands precise end-of-stroke control, which the AirTAC MIC16X75U delivers through its needle-set variable air cushion at both ends. This double-acting, round-body stainless steel mini cylinder conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for straightforward bracket integration. The U-style 90-degree rear cover provides flexible port and mounting orientation.
Featuring a 16 mm bore and 75 mm stroke, it provides 140.7 N of push force at 0.7 MPa. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. As a practical buyer insight, its safe working load is roughly 60 N, allowing it to lift about 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X75U Is Used
Light Part Ejection
Ejecting small plastic components at high speed without slamming, using the adjustable cushion to decelerate the 5.1 kg load smoothly.
Package Diverting
Diverting light cartons on a conveyor where the 140.7 N push force and 90-degree U cover provide compact, right-angle actuation.
Lab Automation
Moving sample trays in washdown-prone lab settings, relying on the stainless steel construction and smooth needle-set end cushioning.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X75U the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16 mm bore unit, stepping down is not an option within the cushioned MIC range, as smaller bores use the MI bumper-only design. Stepping up to the MIC20X50 provides a higher 157.0 N push force at 0.5 MPa if your load exceeds the safe 60 N working capacity of this bore. The adjustable air cushion is essential for high-speed cycles, letting you tune the deceleration to protect the load.
The cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and does not function as a brake. If your application must hold a load on air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. For position sensing, you must select the -S magnet variant, as this base SKU cannot accept a sensor. The M5×0.8 port matches standard mini-cylinder pneumatics.
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 MIC16X75U FAQ
This double-acting cylinder has an M5×0.8 port and a 6 mm rod. 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.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must order the -S variant for sensing. The variable air cushion at both ends only decelerates the piston and does not lock or hold the load.
