Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X15CM
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X15CM is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 15mm 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 MIC20X15CM
Designed for short-stroke automation, the AirTAC MIC20X15CM brings variable air cushions to both ends of a stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder. Tuning the cushion needle soaks up high-speed end-of-stroke shock, protecting your payload while cutting noise. The Ø20 mm bore pushes 157 N and pulls 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa, yielding a safe working load of roughly 94 N or a 2:1 vertical lift of about 8 kg.
Built to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, this double-acting actuator drops into standard mini brackets and clevises. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild washdown corrosion. It features a 15 mm stroke, an M8x1.25 male rod thread, and a 1/8" port. Note this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors without switching to the -S variant. The CM round rear cover keeps the back face smooth for compact mounting.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X15CM Is Used
Gripper Jaw Actuation
Drives small pneumatic grippers with a fast 15 mm stroke, using the tuned air cushion to prevent jaw crash at high speed.
Carton Flap Folding
Folds light cardboard flaps on packaging lines where the 157 N push force and stainless build resist mild moisture.
Small Part Ejection
Ejects lightweight plastic parts from molds, relying on the adjustable end cushion to silently absorb the 15 mm stroke impact.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X15CM the Right Cylinder?
For lighter duty, the Ø16 bore pushes 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa but only offers a fixed bumper in the MI series, losing your cushion tuning. If you need more force, stepping up to the Ø25 bore yields 245.3 N. Choose this Ø20 model when you need snappy 15 mm movements at high cycle rates where the adjustable cushion prevents harsh impacts. Because this SKU has no -S magnet, position sensing is impossible here.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it is not a brake. If power drops, the rod drifts, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold suspended loads securely. You can mount this cylinder using LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion hardware.
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 MIC20X15CM FAQ
This double-acting Ø20 mm cylinder uses a 1/8" port. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 157 N and pulls 131.9 N. 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 does not include a magnet. To use CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches, you must purchase the -S magnet variant. The adjustable air cushion and stainless steel construction are still present on this base model.
