Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X80SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X80SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 80mm 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 MIC16X80SCA
High-speed strokes hit hard, but the AirTAC MIC16X80SCA uses a variable air cushion at both ends to decelerate the load smoothly. This double-acting round-body stainless steel mini cylinder provides 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it a solid choice for compact automation.
The Ø16 bore features a 6 mm piston rod, an M6x1.0 male thread, and a 1/8 inch port. Because it includes the -S magnet, you can mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for position sensing. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, while the CA rear pivot cover simplifies clevis mounting. For vertical moves, expect a safe working load of about 60 N, lifting roughly 5.1 kg with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X80SCA Is Used
Light Part Ejection
Pushes small plastic parts out of a mold at high speed, relying on the adjustable cushion to prevent endcap crash.
Package Diverting
Diverts lightweight cartons on a line using 100.5 N of push force without slamming at the stroke end.
Lab Sample Routing
Moves test tubes between stations where the stainless build handles mild washdown and the -S magnet tracks position.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X80SCA the Right Cylinder?
If you need less force, the smaller MI16 bumper cylinder lacks the adjustable cushion. If your payload grows, step up to the MIC20, which raises push force to 157 N at 0.5 MPa. The needle-set cushion on this model matters most when cycling at high speeds or moving a heavy load into the endcap. Keep in mind the cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end; it does not lock the rod. To hold a load vertically on air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve. You can pair this CA cover with LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets as needed.
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 MIC16X80SCA FAQ
This double-acting cylinder has a 1/8 inch 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 max of 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The -S option adds a piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The air cushion only decelerates the load near stroke end and does not act as a brake; the piston will drift on air loss, so use a pilot check valve for holding.
