About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X80CA
Built for compact automation, the AirTAC MIC16X80CA is a double-acting round-body mini cylinder featuring a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mild washdown resistance. A needle-set variable air cushion at both ends absorbs high-speed end-of-stroke shock, protecting your payload and reducing noise far better than a fixed bumper. It uses a 1/8" port and an M6x1.0 male rod thread.
Delivering 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this ISO 6432 mounting-interface unit handles a safe working load of roughly 60 N, lifting about 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The CA rear pivot cover simplifies clevis mounting. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors without switching to the -S variant.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X80CA Is Used
Small Component Ejection
Ejects light stamped parts off a conveyor at speed, relying on the adjustable cushion to prevent bounce-back.
Lab Sample Diverting
Handles routine routing of small vials on a packaging line, where the stainless build withstands occasional wipe-downs.
Light Pick-and-Place
Shifts lightweight plastic caps between belts, using the 80 mm stroke and CA pivot to maintain smooth motion.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X80CA the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 16 mm bore when you need delicate, high-speed cycling in tight spaces. If your payload is lighter, dropping down is difficult as smaller bores in this family only offer fixed bumpers. If you need more force, step up to the MIC20, which provides 157 N push at 0.5 MPa. The adjustable cushion shines here when moving fragile parts at high speeds, though it only decelerates the load and acts as no brake. The piston will drift on air loss, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you must hold position. Match your mounting with LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion hardware.
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 MIC16X80CA FAQ
This double-acting cylinder uses a 1/8" port and an M6x1.0 male rod thread. It generates 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for sensing. The adjustable air cushion at both ends only decelerates the load near stroke end and does not lock the rod.
