About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X160SCASDB
High-speed actuation demands precise deceleration, which the AirTAC MIC20X160SCASDB delivers through needle-adjustable air cushions at both stroke ends. This double-acting stainless steel round-body mini cylinder absorbs end-of-travel shock, protecting payloads while operating at speeds of 30-800 mm/s.
Featuring a 20 mm bore and 160 mm stroke, it generates 157 N of push force and 131.9 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. This translates to a safe working load of roughly 94 N, capable of lifting about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The design uses an ISO 6432 mounting interface, includes a 1/8 inch port, and pairs a CA rear clevis cover with an SDB pivot block. The built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X160SCASDB Is Used
Package Diverting
Stops and redirects lightweight cartons on a high-speed sorting line, relying on the adjustable cushion to prevent harsh slams during rapid 160 mm strokes.
Component Seating
Presses small bearings into housings using the 157 N push force, using the SDB pivot block to maintain alignment during the operation.
Flap Folding
Folds cardboard flaps on automated packing equipment where the stainless build resists mild washdown and the needle-set cushioning protects the paper goods.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X160SCASDB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 20 mm bore unit, consider stepping down to an MIC16 if your payload is light, though that smaller bore provides only 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires more muscle, moving up to an MIC25 increases thrust to 245.3 N. The adjustable cushioning on this model is essential when moving heavier loads at high velocities, as it prevents harsh impacts that a fixed bumper cannot absorb.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and does not function as a brake. If the air supply drops, the piston will drift, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for suspended loads. You can mount this unit using the included SDB pivot block, and the internal magnet allows for seamless sensor integration.
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 MIC20X160SCASDB FAQ
This double-acting cylinder uses a 1/8 inch air port. At 0.5 MPa it provides 157 N of push force and 131.9 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa the push increases to 219.8 N and pull to 184.7 N. The theoretical maximum force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end and does not lock the load; you must use an external rod lock or pilot check valve to prevent drifting on air loss.
