Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X100CM
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X100CM is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 100mm stroke, 1/8" 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 MIC20X100CM
Dial in end-of-stroke deceleration with the AirTAC MIC20X100CM, a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built around a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends. Instead of relying on a fixed bumper, you tune the exhaust bleed to smooth out high-speed impacts, protecting your payload and cutting workshop noise. The stainless-steel barrel and Ø8 mm piston rod shrug off mild corrosion and washdown environments, while the CM round rear cover keeps port orientation clean and compact.
Generating 157 N of push and 131.9 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, this Ø20 bore hits a useful mid-range force class. It translates to a safe working load of roughly 94 N, or enough thrust to lift about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors. The 1/8" port and M8x1.25 male rod thread conform to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for straightforward bracket interchange.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X100CM Is Used
Light Assembly Ejection
Uses the 157 N push force to knock finished plastic parts from a mold, relying on the tuned air cushion to prevent marking the product at high ejection speeds.
Package Diverting
Swings a lightweight sorting gate across a belt line; the stainless build handles dusty packaging zones while the cushion absorbs the gate's sudden stops.
Small Carton Flapping
Folds corrugated flaps on compact boxes, using the 131.9 N pull force to retract the arm smoothly without jarring the conveyor mechanics.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X100CM the Right Cylinder?
If 157 N of push at 0.5 MPa feels too aggressive for a delicate assembly task, drop down to the Ø16 bore (100.5 N push) or switch to the non-cushioned MI bumper series. Conversely, if your 100 mm stroke needs to shift heavier jigs, step up to the Ø25 bore (245.3 N push). The MIC20X100CM is ideal when your cycle speed demands rapid traverses where the adjustable cushion prevents harsh mechanical crashes.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke ends; it is not a brake. If a power loss or centered valve lets the load drop, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve. For mounting flexibility, pair the CM cover with LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion brackets. Since this is a non-magnet SKU, position sensing is unavailable unless you upgrade to an -S variant.
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 MIC20X100CM FAQ
This Ø20 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. It generates 157 N push and 131.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 219.8 N push and 184.7 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for sensing. The adjustable air cushion at both ends functions solely to decelerate the load, not to hold position.
