The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X130SU is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 130mm 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 MIC20X130SU, a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built around a 20 mm bore and 130 mm stroke. It uses a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends to decelerate the load smoothly, protecting your machinery and reducing noise far better than a fixed rubber bumper. The stainless-steel barrel and piston rod supply mild corrosion resistance for washdown or humid settings, while the U-style rear cover provides a 90-degree mounting orientation.
Delivering 157 N of push and 131.9 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, this ISO 6432 mounting-interface cylinder fits standard mini brackets and clevises. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for position sensing using CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 94 N, meaning it lifts about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. It features an M8x1.25 male rod thread and a 1/8 inch air port.

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.
At 30-800 mm/s, this cylinder pushes lightweight parcels off a high-speed belt, relying on the dual adjustable air cushions to prevent harsh impacts that could damage packaging.
Lifting roughly 8 kg with a 2:1 margin, it raises small totes or bins into position, using the needle-set cushion to bring the load to a gentle stop at the top of the 130 mm stroke.
The stainless steel construction resists mild corrosion in humid laboratory environments, while the 157 N push force reliably moves sample trays without sudden jolts.
If you need less force, dropping down to the MIC16 lowers the push output to 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa; stepping up to the MIC25 raises it to 245.3 N. Choose this 20 mm bore when moving light payloads at high speeds where the adjustable air cushion can effectively bleed off kinetic energy. The cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and acts purely as a shock absorber. It does not function as a lock or brake. If your application must hold a load vertically during a complete air loss or when a valve is centered, you must add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve, because the piston will drift. Mount this unit using standard ISO 6432 hardware, and leverage the internal magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
Quick checklist
This 20 mm bore cylinder pushes with 157 N and pulls with 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. It features a 1/8 inch air port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread.
Yes, the -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The variable air cushion at both ends only decelerates the piston near the end of the stroke to reduce shock; it is not a brake. The cylinder will not hold a load on air loss, so use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for holding.
