The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X10CA is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 10mm 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.
Built as a double-acting, round-body stainless steel mini cylinder, the MIC20X10CA uses an adjustable air cushion at both ends to decelerate loads smoothly. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, making it suitable for washdown environments. Delivering 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it handles a safe working load of roughly 94 N, lifting about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.
This 20 mm bore unit features a 1/8 inch port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. It uses the ISO 6432 mounting interface for standard mini-cylinder brackets. The CA rear pivot cover allows direct clevis mounting. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors; order the -S variant for position sensing.

MI-family variants: MI / MIC (double acting ±cushion), MSI / MTI (single acting push / pull), MID / MICD (double rod ±cushion), MIJ / MICJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / R / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
Snaps a lightweight routing gate at high speed, relying on the adjustable cushion to prevent end-of-stroke slamming on the 10 mm stroke.
Clamps delicate plastic components with a 94 N safe working load, while the stainless build tolerates occasional coolant spray.
Actuates a sealing jaw rapidly; the needle-set cushion absorbs the shock of the abrupt 10 mm motion to protect the blade assembly.
For lower force needs, the MIC16 bore provides 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the MIC25 yields 245.3 N. The adjustable cushion matters most at high speeds or when moving heavier masses, as the needle valve tunes end-of-stroke deceleration to cut shock. This cushion only slows the piston near stroke end; it does not act as a brake. To hold a load on air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, and TC trunnion, alongside the CA pivot cover.
Quick checklist
This 20 mm bore cylinder has a 1/8 inch port. It generates 157 N push and 131.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 219.8 N push and 184.7 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this SKU does not include a magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must order the -S variant for sensing. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the load and does not lock or hold position on air loss.
