The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X125CM 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.
Tame high-speed end-of-stroke shock with the AirTAC MIC20X125CM, a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built with a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mild washdown resistance. A needle-set variable air cushion at both ends decelerates the load smoothly, cutting noise and impact compared to a fixed bumper. It conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for Ø20 bores, dropping cleanly into standard mini brackets and clevises.
At 0.5 MPa this 20 mm bore generates 157 N of push force and 131.9 N of pull, translating to a safe working load of roughly 94 N or a vertical lift of about 8 kg with a 2:1 margin. The 125 mm stroke uses an 8 mm piston rod, an M8x1.25 male thread, and a 1/8" port. The CM round end rear cover suits compact foot or flange layouts. Note this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches.

| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 32 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

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 157 N push force at 0.5 MPa to nudge lightweight cartons off a main belt, relying on the adjustable air cushion to stop the 125 mm stroke quietly at high speed.
Ejects molded components from a press area, where the needle-set cushion absorbs the end impact to protect delicate product finishes during rapid cycling.
Applies an 8 kg vertical clamping force to seat small bearings, with the stainless build resisting coolant mist and the CM rear cover fitting tight machine frames.
For lighter duties the Ø16 bore pushes 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa, while the larger Ø25 bore steps up to 245.3 N if you need more muscle. Choose this Ø20 model for high-speed cycles where the adjustable cushion is essential to protect the payload. If the air supply drops, the cushion only decelerates near the stroke end and does not act as a brake; the piston will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended load.
Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot-block and TC trunnion brackets. Because this exact code has no -S suffix, magnetic position sensing is unavailable on this unit.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder uses a 1/8" port and an 8 mm rod. It pushes 157 N and pulls 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 219.8 N and pulls 184.7 N. The theoretical maximum force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU lacks the internal magnet, so CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches will not function. You must order the -S variant to enable magnetic sensing. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the load and does not lock the rod in place.
