Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X80SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X80SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 80mm stroke, M5×0.8 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 MIC16X80SCM
Damping high-speed strokes in tight spaces, the AirTAC MIC16X80SCM is a double-acting, round-body stainless mini cylinder built on the ISO 6432 mounting interface. It features an adjustable air cushion at both ends, letting you dial in the needle valve to absorb end-of-stroke shock and reduce noise far better than a fixed bumper. The stainless-steel barrel and Ø6 mm piston rod shrug off mild corrosion and washdown environments, while the CM round rear cover keeps port orientation clean and compact.
In the 16 mm bore class, this unit generates 100.5 N of push force and 86.4 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. That translates to a safe working load of roughly 60 N, or the ability to lift about 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. It carries an -S suffix, meaning the built-in piston magnet is present and ready for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches. Air connects via an M5×0.8 port, and the 80 mm stroke stays well within the 500 mm standard limit.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X80SCM Is Used
Light-Part Ejection
Pushes small plastic or stamped parts out of a fixture using 100.5 N of force, relying on the adjustable cushion to stop the 80 mm stroke softly without bouncing the component.
Package Diverting
Sorts lightweight cartons on a line; the stainless build handles occasional washdown, while the needle-set cushion absorbs the repeated high-speed impacts of diverting duty.
Lab Sample Handling
Moves delicate test tubes or vials horizontally where a 5.1 kg vertical lift capacity is more than enough, using the CMSG sensor to confirm position.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X80SCM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16 mm bore, stepping down is not an option for a cushioned MIC; smaller bores (Ø8/10/12) only come as bumper-style MI units. Stepping up to the MIC20X50 yields 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa if your 100.5 N output falls short. The adjustable cushion matters most when driving heavier loads at high speeds up to 800 mm/s, where deceleration protects the workpiece.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it is not a brake. If the air supply drops, the piston drifts, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended load. For mounting, the ISO 6432 dimensions accept standard mini brackets and clevises, and the -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
Quick checklist

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 MIC16X80SCM FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it provides 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it provides 140.7 N push and 120.9 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. This 16 mm bore cylinder uses an M5×0.8 air port and a M6x1.0 male rod thread.
No, the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of the stroke to reduce shock; it does not act as a lock or brake. If power fails, the piston will drift. To maintain position, you must add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
