Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X90SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X90SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 90mm 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 MIC16X90SCA
Soaking up end-of-stroke shock at high speeds, the AirTAC MIC16X90SCA relies on a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends rather than a fixed bumper. This double-acting stainless steel round-body mini cylinder carries a 16 mm bore, a 90 mm stroke, and a CA pivot rear cover. It uses an M5×0.8 port and an M6x1.0 male rod thread.
Operating within the ISO 6432 mounting interface, it drops directly into standard mini brackets and clevises. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild washdown corrosion. Generating 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it handles a safe working load of about 60 N. With a 2:1 margin, it lifts roughly 5.1 kg vertically. The built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X90SCA Is Used
Light-Part Ejection
Shoots small plastic parts out of a mold at high speed, using the adjustable air cushion to prevent the 6 mm rod from slamming harshly at the 90 mm stroke end.
Package Deflection
Pushes light cartons onto a diverter line; the 100.5 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily handles the 60 N safe working load without denting the packaging.
Lab Sample Sorting
Moves delicate test tubes between stations. The stainless build resists mild cleaning chemicals, while the needle-set cushion guarantees gentle stops.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X90SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16 mm bore unit, step up to the MIC20X50 for 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa if your payload exceeds the 60 N safe working load. Stepping down means dropping to the MI12 bumper-only mini cylinder, which lacks adjustable cushions. Choose the MIC16X90SCA for high-speed 90 mm moves where deceleration matters. Remember that the air cushion only decelerates near the stroke end; it does not brake or hold the load. If air pressure drops, the piston will drift. To lock a suspended load, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Mount this CA pivot model using standard ISO 6432 clevis hardware. The -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic and reed sensors for end-position confirmation.

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 MIC16X90SCA FAQ
This 16 mm bore cylinder features an M5×0.8 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.
No. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it is not a brake or lock. If air pressure drops, the piston drifts. For vertical loads, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve. The -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches.
