The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X100SCA 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.
Delivering 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless steel round-body mini cylinder absorbs high-speed impacts using an adjustable air cushion at both ends. The Ø20 mm bore conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface, ensuring straightforward bracket interchangeability. A built-in piston magnet enables position sensing, while the 1/8" port and M8x1.25 male rod thread simplify pneumatic and mechanical integration.
The 100 mm stroke operates at speeds from 30 to 800 mm/s. With a 2:1 safety margin, it lifts about 8 kg vertically, equating to a safe working load of roughly 94 N. The CA rear pivot cover allows direct clevis mounting. Note that the cushion only decelerates the load near stroke end; it does not function as a brake or lock during air loss.

MI-family variants: MI / MIC (double acting ±cushion), MSI / MTI (single acting push / pull), MID / MICD (double rod ±cushion), MIJ / MICJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / R / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
Pushes lightweight cartons at high speed across a transfer section, using the adjustable cushion to stop the 100 mm stroke smoothly without jarring the belt.
Ejects machined components from a fixture, relying on the 157 N push force and stainless build to withstand mild coolant splash in repeated cycles.
Acts as a pneumatic stop for low-weight pallets, dropping into standard ISO 6432 clevis brackets via the CA pivot cover for straightforward installation.
When sizing this 100 mm stroke unit, consider the 245 N push force of the larger MIC25 or the 100.5 N output of the smaller MIC16. Choose this Ø20 bore for moderate loads where a fixed bumper would transmit too much shock at high travel speeds. The needle-set cushion lets you fine-tune end-of-stroke deceleration to protect your payload.
Because the rod drifts when air pressure is removed or valves are centered, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if you need to hold a vertical load securely. This S-suffix SKU includes the magnet required for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The CA back cover provides a pivot mount, and you can pair it with LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder uses a 1/8" port. At 0.5 MPa it provides 157 N push and 131.9 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa it yields 219.8 N push and 184.7 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of its stroke and acts as a brake. For vertical load holding, you must install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The -S magnet allows CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors to detect position.
