About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X100SU
Delivering 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless steel mini cylinder handles rapid 100 mm strokes with precision. The defining feature of the MIC series is the adjustable air cushion at both ends, letting you dial in the needle valve to smoothly decelerate high-speed loads and eliminate end-of-stroke banging. Its riveted round-body construction pairs a stainless barrel and rod for reliable mild corrosion and washdown resistance. Because it uses the ISO 6432 mounting interface, it drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises.
The integrated piston magnet (-S suffix) enables position sensing with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. Fitted with a U-style 90-degree rear cover and a 1/8 inch port, it offers immediate drop-in compatibility for standard layouts. Based on the 0.5 MPa push rating, a safe working load is roughly 94 N, meaning it lifts about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Operating pressure spans 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, with speeds from 30 to 800 mm/s.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X100SU Is Used
Package Diverting
Pushes light cartons at high speed across transfer belts. The adjustable air cushion prevents harsh impacts that could scuff packaging or shift contents.
Small Part Ejection
Ejects molded or machined components from a fixture. The 157 N thrust handles the part weight while the cushion dampens the ejection snap.
Light Lift Gates
Raises and lowers light aluminum sorting flaps. The stainless build withstands humid washdown environments common in food distribution.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X100SU the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 20 mm bore, compare it directly against adjacent bores. If your application requires less force, dropping down means switching to an MI bumper-only cylinder, as the cushion feature starts here. Moving up to the 25 mm bore increases push force to 245 N at 0.5 MPa. You should select this cushioned variant specifically when operating at high cycle speeds or moving masses that would otherwise shock the end caps. Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not act as a brake or lock. If the machine loses air, the piston drifts, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold suspended loads safely.
Mounting flexibility is excellent: pair the U back cover with LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion brackets. Position feedback requires the built-in magnet, which is present here, allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors to track the 100 mm travel directly.
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 MIC20X100SU FAQ
This 20 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8 inch port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. It generates 157 N push and 131.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 219.8 N push and 184.7 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum force of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet compatible with CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches. The adjustable air cushion at both ends uses a needle valve to trap and bleed exhaust air, decelerating the piston smoothly at stroke end to reduce shock and noise.
