Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X125CA
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X125CA is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 125mm 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 MIC20X125CA
Delivering 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless steel round-body mini cylinder is built for high-speed actuation where bumpers fail. The defining trait of the MIC series is the adjustable air cushion at both ends. By turning a needle valve, you tune the end-of-stroke deceleration to absorb shock, protecting your payload and cutting noise. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments.
With a 20 mm bore and 125 mm stroke, the unit uses a 1/8 inch port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. It yields a safe working load of about 94 N, lifting roughly 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The rear CA pivot cover suits clevis mounts, and it conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X125CA Is Used
Package Diverter
Rapidly pushes light parcels on a sorting line at speed, relying on the tuned air cushion to stop the 125 mm stroke smoothly without jarring the mechanism.
Small Part Ejector
Ejects machined components from a fixture, using the 157 N push force and adjustable end cushions to prevent bounce during high-cycle ejection.
Flap Tucking Arm
Tucks carton flaps on a packaging conveyor where the stainless build handles light washdown and the cushion softens the tuck impact.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X125CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 20 mm bore, dropping down to the 16 mm version reduces the 0.5 MPa push force to 100.5 N, while stepping up to the 25 mm bore raises it to 245.3 N. Choose this 125 mm stroke model for rapid cycles where the adjustable air cushion is essential to prevent harsh impacts at stroke ends. The cushion only decelerates the load; it does not lock the rod.
If your process requires position holding upon air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve, as the piston will drift. The CA rear cover provides a pivot point for clevis mounting. Because this specific SKU has no internal magnet, it cannot accept position switches; you must specify an -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 MIC20X125CA FAQ
This 20 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/8 inch port. At 0.5 MPa it provides 157 N push and 131.9 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it yields 219.8 N push and 184.7 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must select the -S variant for sensing. The adjustable air cushions at both ends only decelerate the load near stroke end and do not function as a brake.
