About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X160SCM
Handling 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this Ø20 mm double-acting stainless steel round-body mini cylinder is built for rapid actuation. The 160 mm stroke unit features a CM round rear cover and a 1/8" port. Because it carries the -S suffix, a built-in piston magnet enables position sensing with CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. It conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface, so it drops directly into standard mini brackets and clevises.
A defining trait of the MIC series is the adjustable air cushion at both ends. By turning a needle valve, you tune the end-of-stroke deceleration to absorb high-speed shock, protecting the load and reducing noise compared to 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, meaning it lifts about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X160SCM Is Used
Package Diverting
Rapidly pushes light parcels at 30-800 mm/s onto a secondary line, using the adjustable cushion to stop the 8 kg load gently without slamming.
Carton Sealing
Drives a sealing head up and down continuously, where the needle-set cushion absorbs high-speed shock and the stainless build resists factory humidity.
Small Part Ejection
Ejects machined components from a fixture; the 157 N push force clears the part while the ISO 6432 bracket simplifies tool integration.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X160SCM the Right Cylinder?
If your task needs less force, the smaller Ø16 bore provides 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa but lacks the cushion feature. Stepping up to the Ø25 bore raises push force to 245.3 N. Choose this Ø20 model for high-speed strokes where the adjustable cushion is essential to prevent impact damage. Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not act as a brake. The piston will drift if air pressure drops, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you must hold a suspended load.
This SKU includes the -S magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors. You can mount it using LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot or TC trunnion brackets. The CM back cover provides a specific rear port orientation for tight layouts.
Quick checklist

- ✓ 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 MIC20X160SCM FAQ
This double-acting cylinder has 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 suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. The adjustable air cushion at both ends lets you turn a needle to tune deceleration, soaking up high-speed shock. It only decelerates the piston and does not lock or hold the load.
