About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X100SCA
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.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X100SCA Is Used
Package Diverting
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.
Small Part Ejection
Ejects machined components from a fixture, relying on the 157 N push force and stainless build to withstand mild coolant splash in repeated cycles.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a pneumatic stop for low-weight pallets, dropping into standard ISO 6432 clevis brackets via the CA pivot cover for straightforward installation.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X100SCA the Right Cylinder?
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
- ✓ 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 MIC20X100SCA FAQ
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.
