Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X160CM
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X160CM is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 160mm 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 MIC20X160CM
Driving 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless steel round-body mini cylinder handles a 160 mm stroke with precision. The Ø20 mm bore conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface, dropping directly into standard mini brackets and clevises. It features a CM round end rear cover and uses a 1/8" air port with an M8x1.25 male rod thread.
A defining trait of the MIC series is the adjustable air cushion at both ends, letting you needle-set the deceleration to absorb high-speed shock and reduce noise far better than a fixed bumper. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. For sizing, this bore yields a safe working load of roughly 94 N, lifting about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors without upgrading to the -S variant.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X160CM Is Used
Package Diverting
Pushes light cartons at speed on a sorting line where the 157 N push force and adjustable cushions prevent harsh slams during rapid cycling.
Small Part Ejection
Ejects machined components from a fixture, using the 160 mm stroke and needle-set cushions to decelerate the 8 kg load smoothly at the end of travel.
Flap Folding
Folds cardboard flaps on an automated packing station, relying on the stainless build for mild washdown resistance and the CM cover for compact rear mounting.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X160CM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 20 mm bore, stepping down drops you to the MI-only bumper style in smaller diameters, while stepping up to the Ø25 MIC increases the 0.5 MPa push force to 245 N. The adjustable cushions are essential if you are cycling at high speeds or moving heavier masses, as they prevent harsh end-of-stroke impacts. Keep in mind the cushion only decelerates the load near the stroke end; it does not function as a lock or brake. If your application must hold position on air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
This model uses a CM round end cover and fits standard ISO 6432 mounts like LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion. Because this SKU is non-magnetic, it cannot support position sensing; choose the -S magnet option if you require CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
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 MIC20X160CM FAQ
This 20 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" air 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.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must select the -S variant for sensing capabilities. The adjustable air cushions at both ends only serve to decelerate the load near stroke end and do not lock or hold the position.
