Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X100SCM
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X100SCM 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 MIC20X100SCM
Built for high-speed actuation, this 20 mm bore double-acting cylinder uses a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends to decelerate the piston smoothly, eliminating the end-of-stroke bang typical of bumper mini cylinders. The stainless-steel round barrel and Ø8 mm rod shrug off mild washdown and corrosion, while the CM round rear cover keeps port orientation clean for tight assemblies. A built-in piston magnet (-S) enables CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches for position sensing.
Generating 157 N of push and 131.9 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, this ISO 6432 mounting-interface unit handles a safe working load of roughly 94 N. That translates to lifting about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. It features a 100 mm stroke, M8x1.25 male rod thread, and 1/8" air ports.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X100SCM Is Used
Light Package Diverting
Pushes small cartons at 800 mm/s onto a side lane; the adjustable air cushion stops the 8 kg load gently without jarring the conveyor frame.
Small Parts Ejection
Ejects plastic moulded parts from a press using 157 N of push force, relying on the stainless build to resist cooling mist and shop debris.
Pick And Place Transfer
Moves electronic components horizontally where the 94 N safe working load capacity easily handles gripper weight and the cushion prevents sudden jerks.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X100SCM the Right Cylinder?
If you need less force, dropping to the 16 mm bore drops the push to 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa; stepping up to the 25 mm bore increases it to 245.3 N. Choose this 20 mm size when moving light payloads at high cycle speeds where the adjustable cushion prevents load damage. Remember that the cushion only decelerates near the stroke end—it is not a brake. The piston will drift on air loss, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you must hold a suspended load.
Mount this cylinder using standard ISO 6432 mini brackets, or select LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion options. The included -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors. Related types include the MI bumper version, MID double-rod, and MIJ adjustable-stroke cylinders.
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 MIC20X100SCM FAQ
This 20 mm bore cylinder pushes 157 N and pulls 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 219.8 N and pulls 184.7 N. The theoretical maximum force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses 1/8" air ports and an M8x1.25 male rod thread.
No, the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and acts purely as a shock absorber, not a brake. The piston will drift if air is lost. For vertical loads, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve. The -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors for position confirmation.
