The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X10SU 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.
High-speed automation gets quieter with the AirTAC MIC20X10SU, a round-body stainless steel mini cylinder built for double-acting service. Unlike standard bumper units, this model features an adjustable air cushion at both ends. You simply turn the cushion needle to soak up end-of-stroke shock, protecting the load and cutting noise. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments, while the U-style rear cover provides a 90-degree mounting orientation. It uses a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread.
Delivering 157 N of push force and 131.9 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, this 20 mm bore unit handles short 10 mm strokes with precision. For practical sizing, it offers a safe working load of about 94 N, or roughly 8 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 safety margin. Because it includes the -S magnet, you can directly mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for position detection. It conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for easy bracket integration.

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.
Uses the 10 mm stroke to knock parts off a fixture quickly. The adjustable air cushion absorbs the rapid end-of-stroke impact, protecting the 8 kg load.
Pushes lightweight packages at high cycle rates. The needle-set cushion slows the 157 N push force smoothly, reducing wear and mechanical noise.
Compresses carton flaps in damp environments. The stainless steel round-body construction resists mild corrosion while the U cover handles side mounting.
When sizing this 20 mm bore, compare it directly against adjacent options. Stepping down to the 16 mm bore drops your 0.5 MPa push force to 100.5 N, while stepping up to the 25 mm bore increases it to 245.3 N. Choose this 20 mm unit when you need roughly 157 N of push within a compact ISO 6432 footprint. The adjustable cushion matters most if you drive heavy loads at high speeds up to 800 mm/s, as the needle decelerates the piston to prevent impact damage. Note that the cushion only decelerates; it does not lock the rod. If you need to hold a load vertically during air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve. You can mount it via LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion hardware.
Quick checklist
This 20 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. 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.
Yes, 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 to reduce shock; it does not lock or hold the load. You need an external rod lock for position holding.
