Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X100U
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X100U 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 MIC20X100U
High-speed actuation demands precise deceleration, which the AirTAC MIC20X100U delivers through needle-set adjustable air cushions at both stroke ends. This double-acting, round-body stainless steel mini cylinder pairs an 8 mm piston rod with a 1/8 inch port to generate 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Its riveted stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown, while the 100 mm stroke drops cleanly into ISO 6432 standard mini-cylinder mounting interfaces.
For practical sizing, the 157 N @0.5 MPa output translates to a safe working load of roughly 94 N, or about 8 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 safety margin. This SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors. The rear U cover provides a 90-degree mounting option for compact machinery layouts.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X100U Is Used
Package Diverting
Uses the 157 N push force at 0.5 MPa to deflect light cartons on a high-speed sorting line, relying on the adjustable air cushion to stop the 100 mm stroke smoothly without slamming.
Small Component Pressing
Ideal for seating electronic connectors or light pins, where the needle-set cushion decelerates the rod at the end of travel to prevent damaging fragile parts.
90-Degree Stopper Gate
Leveraging the rear U cover for upright mounting, this cylinder acts as a pneumatic stop for tote boxes, absorbing kinetic energy via the dual-end cushions.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X100U the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 20 mm bore, stepping down to the MIC16 drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 100.5 N, whereas moving up to the MIC25 raises it to 245.3 N. Choose this 100 mm stroke unit for high-speed cycles where the adjustable air cushion is essential to soak up end-of-stroke shock and protect the payload. Note that the cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of travel; it does not function as a lock or brake.
If your system loses air or the valve is centered, the piston will drift, so install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold a suspended load. Mount the body using LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion hardware. Because this specific SKU omits the internal magnet, it cannot accept position switches; you must specify the -S variant to enable CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors.
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 MIC20X100U FAQ
This double-acting cylinder features a 20 mm bore, an 8 mm piston rod, a 1/8 inch port, and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. It generates 157 N of push and 131.9 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, 219.8 N of push and 184.7 N of pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum force of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU lacks the internal magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches; you need the -S variant for sensing. Additionally, the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end and does not act as a brake, so the load will drift if air pressure is lost.
