About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X145SCA
Built for high-speed actuation, the AirTAC MIC20X145SCA is a stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder that uses a 1/8 inch port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. As a double-acting actuator, it generates 157 N of push force and 131.9 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The integrated piston magnet means it is fully compatible with CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for precise position detection.
This model features a variable air cushion at both ends, allowing you to tune a needle valve to absorb end-of-stroke shock and reduce noise. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, making it suitable for washdown environments. Based on the 0.5 MPa push rating, it handles a safe working load of about 94 N, lifting roughly 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. It conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for standard mini-cylinder brackets and includes a CA rear pivot cover.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X145SCA Is Used
Package Diversion
Ideal for rapidly pushing light packages on a conveyor, using the adjustable cushion to softly stop the 145 mm stroke without slamming.
Lab Automation
Handles sample tube routing with a safe working load near 94 N, relying on the stainless build for mild chemical splash resistance.
Small Part Ejection
Ejects molded components at speed, using the CA pivot cover to absorb lateral stress while the cushion minimizes shock.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X145SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 20 mm bore actuator, consider stepping down to the 16 mm MIC bore if your load requires less force, as it provides 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa. If you need more power, the 25 mm MIC bore offers 245.3 N push at the same pressure. The adjustable cushion is essential when operating at high speeds up to 800 mm/s or moving heavy loads, preventing impact damage. Note that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not act as a brake. If you need to hold a load vertically during air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve. You can mount this unit using LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion hardware, and the -S magnet enables sensor tracking.
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 MIC20X145SCA FAQ
This double-acting cylinder uses a 1/8 inch port. It delivers 157 N push and 131.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 219.8 N push and 184.7 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum force of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston at stroke end to reduce shock; it is not a brake and will not hold a load on air loss.
