Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X80U
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X80U 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 MIC16X80U
High-speed strokes run quietly on the AirTAC MIC16X80U, a double-acting round-body mini cylinder featuring needle-set air cushions at both ends to absorb end-of-travel shock. Built with a stainless-steel barrel and rod, it resists mild corrosion and washdown environments. The Ø16 mm bore conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, dropping directly into standard mini brackets and clevises.
Delivering 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this unit yields a safe working load of roughly 60 N and lifts about 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. It uses an M5×0.8 port and an M6x1.0 male rod thread. This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors; choose the -S variant if position sensing is required.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X80U Is Used
Light Part Ejection
Throws small plastic parts from a mold at high speed, relying on the adjustable cushion to prevent end-of-stroke bouncing.
Package Diverting
Pushes lightweight cartons on a line with a safe working load near 60 N, using the U cover for compact 90-degree mounting.
Small Component Sorting
Indexes delicate electronic pieces rapidly without smashing them, thanks to needle-set deceleration at both ends.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X80U the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 80 mm stroke actuator, step down to the MI bumper mini cylinder if your load is negligible, or step up to the Ø20 MIC bore for 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The adjustable cushion is essential for this 16 mm bore when cycling at high speeds or moving fragile components, letting you dial in deceleration. Note that the air cushion only slows the piston near stroke end and acts as neither a lock nor a brake. To prevent drift on air loss, fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve. The U back cover provides a 90-degree mounting orientation, and you can use LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion brackets.
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 MIC16X80U FAQ
This double-acting cylinder pushes 100.5 N and pulls 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa, and pushes 140.7 N while pulling 120.9 N at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features an M5×0.8 air port and an M6x1.0 male rod thread.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches will not function. You must select the -S variant for position sensing. The stainless steel build and adjustable air cushions remain standard.
