About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X80SU
Dial in end-of-stroke deceleration with the AirTAC MIC16X80SU, a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built around a stainless-steel barrel and rod. The needle-set air cushion at both ends absorbs high-speed shock, protecting your payload while dropping noise levels significantly compared to a fixed bumper. Its 16 mm bore uses a 1/8" port and an M6x1.0 male rod thread, conforming to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for straightforward bracket interchangeability.
In the 16 mm class, this actuator generates 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making its safe working load roughly 60 N. That translates to lifting about 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The U-style rear cover provides a 90-degree mounting orientation, and because this SKU includes the S magnet, you can directly mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for position detection.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X80SU Is Used
Small Parts Ejection
Pushes lightweight plastic or stamped metal parts out of a die at speed, relying on the dual air cushions to prevent harsh slamming at the 80 mm stroke end.
Package Diverting
Handles small carton routing on a packing line where the 60 N safe working load easily tips lightweight goods onto a secondary belt without shock damage.
Lab Sample Handling
Moves delicate diagnostic tubes between stations, using the stainless build for mild washdown resistance and the cushion to eliminate sudden end jolts.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X80SU the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 16 mm bore when you need light-force positioning at high cycling speeds where fixed bumpers would cause premature wear. If your payload is smaller, dropping down means moving to an MI-series bumper cylinder, as the adjustable cushion only starts at this bore size. If you need more thrust, stepping up to the MIC20X50 yields 157.0 N of push force at 0.5 MPa.
Remember that the adjustable cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it is not a brake. If power or air drops, the piston will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended load. You can mount this unit via LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion hardware to suit your frame.
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 MIC16X80SU FAQ
This 16 mm bore cylinder features 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, 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.
Yes, the built-in S magnet allows direct mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The adjustable air cushion at both ends uses a needle valve to trap and exhaust air to smoothly decelerate the piston, reducing shock and noise without acting as a physical lock.
