The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X150SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 150mm 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.
Delivering 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless steel round-body mini cylinder handles 150 mm strokes with precision. The Ø20 mm bore features an M8x1.25 male rod thread and a 1/8" port. Tunable air cushions at both ends absorb end-of-stroke shock at high cycling speeds, protecting your payload better than a fixed bumper. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. It uses the ISO 6432 mounting interface for standard mini-cylinder brackets.
For practical sizing, expect a safe working load of roughly 94 N, or about 8 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 safety margin. The built-in piston magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for position sensing. A CA rear pivot cover provides a clevis mounting point. Note that the cushion only decelerates the load near the stroke end; it does not function as a brake or lock during air loss.

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.
Pushes light to medium cartons at high speed on a sorting line, using the adjustable cushion to stop the 150 mm stroke gently without jarring the conveyor.
Ejects machined components from a fixture, relying on the 157 N push force and stainless build to withstand light coolant splash and washdown.
Extends a labeling head to apply tags on passing pallets, using the CA pivot cover to maintain alignment while the magnet triggers an EMSG sensor.
If you need less force, dropping to a MIC16 lowers the 0.5 MPa push to 100.5 N. Stepping up to a MIC25 raises it to 245.3 N. Choose this Ø20 bore when moving moderate loads at high speeds where the adjustable needle cushions prevent harsh end impacts. For position feedback, the -S magnet pairs with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
Because a standard cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or a valve is centered, the cushion cannot hold a load in place. If your application requires vertical holding, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The CA back cover suits pivot mountings, and you can also use LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion brackets.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder has 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, and 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 indicates a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. However, the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the load near the stroke end; it is not a brake. The piston will drift on air loss, so use an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold vertical loads.
