About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X80CM
High-speed actuation meets smooth deceleration in the AirTAC MIC16X80CM, a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built with a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mild washdown resistance. An adjustable air cushion at both ends lets you dial in the needle to soak up end-of-stroke shock, protecting the payload and cutting noise far better than a fixed bumper. It uses the ISO 6432 mounting interface, dropping easily into standard mini brackets and clevises.
In the 16 mm bore class, this unit generates 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, peaking at a theoretical 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 60 N, lifting about 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. It features an 80 mm stroke, an M5×0.8 port, an M6x1.0 male rod thread, and a CM round rear cover. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take a position sensor.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X80CM Is Used
Small Parts Ejection
Shoots light plastic parts out of a machining center at speed, using the cushions to prevent harsh slamming at the 80 mm stroke end.
Package Diverting
Pushes small cartons on a packaging line with a safe working load near 60 N, relying on the stainless rod to resist humid environments.
Light Clamping
Holds delicate electronic components in place during assembly, providing 100.5 N of push force without crushing the product.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X80CM the Right Cylinder?
If you need less force, the MI series offers smaller bumper-only bores, while stepping up to the MIC20X50 increases your 0.5 MPa push force to 157 N. The adjustable air cushion here is essential when cycling at high speed or moving a heavy load, as it decelerates the piston smoothly. It does not act as a brake; the piston will drift on air loss, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for suspended loads. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, and TC trunnion brackets, but remember this non-magnetic version cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
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 MIC16X80CM FAQ
This 16 mm bore cylinder features an M5×0.8 port and an M6x1.0 male rod thread. It delivers 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 would need the -S variant for sensing. It features a stainless-steel build and adjustable air cushions at both ends to manage high-speed shock.
