Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X15U
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X15U 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 MIC20X15U
Delivering 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless steel round-body mini cylinder handles short 15 mm strokes with precision. A needle-set variable air cushion at both ends absorbs high-speed end-of-travel shock, protecting your payload far better than a fixed bumper. The stainless barrel and rod shrug off mild corrosion, while the rear U-style cover provides a 90-degree port and mounting orientation. This specific SKU lacks the internal magnet, meaning it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches; you must select an -S variant for sensing.
In practical terms, the bore yields a safe working load of roughly 94 N, lifting about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. It uses a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. Because it conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for Ø16-Ø25 bores, it drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises without compatibility headaches.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X15U Is Used
Short-Stroke Ejector
Pops small parts out of a machining fixture over 15 mm, relying on the dual adjustable air cushions to silently absorb the rapid reversal.
Flap Deflector
Pushes light cardboard flaps at high speed during carton sealing, using the 157 N push force and stainless build to withstand dusty washdown environments.
Small Part Press
Seats delicate electronic connectors with a 94 N safe working load, using the U-style rear cover for tight 90-degree machinery layouts.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X15U the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, compare it to adjacent bores: stepping down to an MI16 bumper version drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 100.5 N, while stepping up to a MIC25 raises it to 245.3 N. Choose this Ø20 bore when your load sits in that 94 N safe-working range and you need the variable cushion to tame high-velocity impacts across the 15 mm travel. The cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it is not a brake. If your application must hold position during air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve, because the piston will drift. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, and TC trunnion, but remember this non-S version cannot support magnetic sensors.
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 MIC20X15U FAQ
This double-acting cylinder uses a 1/8" port and an 8 mm piston rod. 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.
No, this specific SKU does not include the internal magnet, so CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches will not function. You must order the -S variant to enable sensing. The cylinder still features adjustable air cushions at both ends and a stainless steel build for mild corrosion resistance.
