About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X15SU
Designed for high-speed actuation, this double-acting stainless steel round-body mini cylinder uses a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends to absorb end-of-stroke shock. The Ø20 mm bore generates 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, while the integrated piston magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches.
Built with a corrosion-resistant stainless barrel and rod, it conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions for easy bracket interchange. The 1/8" port and M8x1.25 male rod thread simplify plumbing and load attachment. With a 157 N push rating, it handles a safe working load of roughly 94 N, lifting about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The U back cover provides a 90-degree port orientation for tight layouts.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X15SU Is Used
Component Ejection
Shoots small plastic parts out of a mold at high speed, relying on the adjustable cushion to prevent harsh slamming at the 15 mm stroke end.
Package Deflection
Pushes light cartons onto a secondary conveyor line, using the 157 N thrust and ISO 6432 brackets for straightforward integration.
Small Part Clamping
Holds delicate electronic components securely during a rapid machining step, with the stainless build resisting light coolant spray.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X15SU the Right Cylinder?
For lighter tasks, the Ø16 bore provides 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas the Ø25 bore steps up to 245.3 N if you need more thrust. Choose this Ø20 model when moving light payloads at high speeds where the adjustable cushion prevents harsh impacts. Remember that the cushion only decelerates the load near the stroke end; it does not function as a brake. To prevent drifting on air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
The -S magnet enables CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensor tracking, a feature absent on non-S SKUs. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, and TC trunnion brackets. If you need a fixed bumper instead of an adjustable cushion, consider the MI series, or the MID for a double-rod configuration.
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 MIC20X15SU FAQ
This double-acting cylinder features 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, 219.8 N push and 184.7 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S designation means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the load near stroke end and does not act as a lock; the piston will drift on air loss, so use a pilot check valve for holding.
