The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X15SCM 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.
Equipped with needle-set adjustable air cushions at both ends, the AirTAC MIC20X15SCM tames end-of-stroke shock during high-speed cycling. This double-acting round-body mini cylinder utilizes a stainless-steel barrel and piston rod to resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. It conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for bores Ø16-Ø25, ensuring easy bracket interchangeability.
In the 20 mm bore class, this unit generates 157 N of push and 131.9 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. For practical sizing, that translates to a safe working load of roughly 94 N, or vertically lifting about 8 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The built-in piston magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches, while the CM round rear cover provides specific port and mounting orientation.

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.
Ideal for rapidly pushing lightweight parcels on a conveyor at 30-800 mm/s, using the adjustable cushion to silently absorb the 8 kg load impact at stroke end.
Perfect for pushing small machined parts out of a fixture, where the 94 N safe working load is sufficient and the cushion prevents part damage during rapid ejection.
Handles high-speed carton flap folding tasks where the stainless build resists light splashes and the needle-set cushion ensures smooth, jolt-free motion.
When sizing this 20 mm bore, stepping down drops you into the MI-only bumper configuration at 16 mm (100.5 N push @0.5 MPa), whereas stepping up to the 25 mm MIC yields 245.3 N push @0.5 MPa. The adjustable air cushion is essential if you are moving loads at high speeds and need to minimize impact noise, but remember it only decelerates the piston near the stroke end. It does not function as a brake; if your application must hold a load vertically during air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve. You can mount this unit using standard LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion hardware, and the -S magnet enables direct sensor switching.
Quick checklist
This 20 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. 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.
No, the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of the stroke and does not act as a lock; use a pilot check valve for holding loads. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet, allowing you to mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for position sensing.
