About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X170SU
Delivering 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, the AirTAC MIC20X170SU is a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built for demanding 20 mm bore tasks. The stainless-steel barrel and rod shrug off mild corrosion, while the integrated piston magnet enables position sensing. A needle-set variable air cushion at both ends soaks up high-speed end-of-stroke shock, protecting your payload and cutting noise better than a fixed bumper.
This 170 mm stroke unit features a 1/8 inch port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. It yields a safe working load of roughly 94 N and lifts about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The U-type back cover provides a 90-degree mounting orientation, and the ISO 6432 mounting interface ensures standard mini-bracket interchangeability.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X170SU Is Used
Package Diverting
Uses the 157 N push force at 0.5 MPa to deflect light cartons on a high-speed sorting line, relying on the adjustable cushion to soften the stroke end.
Small Part Clamping
Holds delicate plastic components during machining, where the 94 N safe working load provides secure pressure without crushing the material.
Vertical Lift Gates
Raises an 8 kg access flap with a 2:1 safety margin, utilizing the U-type 90-degree rear cover for compact frame mounting.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X170SU the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this bore, stepping down to the 16 mm version drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 100.5 N, whereas moving up to the 25 mm bore raises it to 245.3 N. Choose this 20 mm cushioned model for high-speed cycling where bumpers would transmit too much shock. The adjustable cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end; it does not lock the rod. To prevent drift on air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
The -S suffix means a magnet is present for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, and TC trunnion to fit your layout.
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 MIC20X170SU FAQ
This 20 mm bore cylinder has a 1/8 inch 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.
The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The variable air cushion at both ends uses a needle to decelerate the piston near stroke end to reduce shock, but it is not a brake or lock.
