Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X102SU
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X102SU is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 102mm 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 MIC20X102SU
Delivering 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless steel round-body mini cylinder handles light-duty actuation with precision. The 20 mm bore uses a 1/8 inch port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. A built-in piston magnet (-S) enables position sensing with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The U-style rear cover provides a 90-degree mounting orientation for compact installations.
What sets the MIC series apart is the adjustable air cushion at both ends. By turning a needle valve, you tune the end-of-stroke deceleration to absorb high-speed shock, protecting the load and reducing noise far better than a fixed bumper. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. For vertical lifting, expect a safe working load of about 94 N, which lifts roughly 8 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X102SU Is Used
Package Diverting
Pushes light cartons at high speed on a sorting line where the adjustable air cushion prevents harsh slams at the 102 mm stroke end.
Small Part Ejection
Ejects molded components from a press, using the 157 N push force and tuned deceleration to protect delicate product finishes.
Vertical Lift Gates
Lifts an 8 kg access flap with a 2:1 margin, relying on the stainless build for humid warehouse environments.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X102SU the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 20 mm bore, compare it against the adjacent options. Dropping down to an MIC16 lowers the push force to 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to an MIC25 raises it to 245.3 N. Choose this 102 mm stroke model when you need moderate travel with high-speed cycling where the adjustable cushion is essential to prevent end-impact damage. It conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for standard mini brackets.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function as a brake or lock. If power drops, the piston drifts, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for suspended loads. The -S magnet allows sensor tracking, and you can mount it via LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion.
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 MIC20X102SU 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 of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end and does not lock the load; you need an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold position on air loss.
