About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X90SU
High-speed actuation demands precise deceleration, which the AirTAC MIC16X90SU delivers through a needle-set variable air cushion at both stroke ends. This 16 mm bore, 90 mm stroke double-acting actuator features a stainless-steel round barrel and piston rod, offering mild corrosion resistance for washdown environments. It uses a 1/8" port and conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions for standard mini-cylinder brackets.
Operating at 0.5 MPa, it provides 100.5 N of push force and 86.4 N of pull force. This translates to a safe working load of roughly 60 N, allowing it to lift about 5.1 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The U-style 90-degree rear cover simplifies port and mounting orientation in tight spaces.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X90SU Is Used
Light Parts Ejection
Shoots small plastic or metal parts out of a press at high speed, relying on the adjustable air cushion to silently absorb the end-of-stroke impact without damaging the product.
Carton Flap Folding
Folds light cardboard flaps on a packaging line, using its 5.1 kg vertical lift capacity to push materials cleanly before taping, even in mildly humid environments.
Lab Sample Diverting
Actuates a routing gate for test tubes on a diagnostic carousel, where the stainless build resists chemical wipe-downs and the cushion prevents sudden jolts to delicate fluids.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC16X90SU the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, compare it against the larger Ø20 bore, which raises the 0.5 MPa push force to 157 N for heavier loads, or the smaller MI bumper-only series if adjustable end-cushioning is unnecessary. The MIC16X90SU is ideal for high-speed cycles where the built-in needle valves absorb kinetic energy and protect the payload from end-of-stroke shock.
Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches. Note that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function as a brake. The piston will drift on air loss, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you need to hold a suspended load.
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 MIC16X90SU FAQ
This 16 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/8" port. At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 100.5 N and pulls with 86.4 N. At 0.7 MPa the push is 140.7 N and pull is 120.9 N. The theoretical maximum force is 20.5 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end to reduce shock; it is not a brake. The cylinder will drift on air loss, so use a pilot check valve for load holding.
