About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X175CA
Tame high-speed end-of-stroke shock with the AirTAC MIC20X175CA, a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built with a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mild washdown resistance. A needle-set adjustable air cushion at both ends absorbs kinetic energy, protecting your payload far better than a fixed bumper. It uses the ISO 6432 mounting interface for standard brackets and features a CA rear pivot cover.
Delivering 157 N of push and 131.9 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, this Ø20 bore unit handles a safe working load of roughly 94 N, lifting about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. It moves a 175 mm stroke through an 8 mm rod, features an M8x1.25 male thread, and ports via 1/8" thread. Note this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors; specify the -S variant if you require position detection.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X175CA Is Used
Package Diverting
Pushes light cartons at high cycle rates on a sorting line where the adjustable air cushion prevents harsh slams that could scuff packaging.
Small Part Ejection
Ejects machined components from a fixture, using the 157 N push force while the needle-set cushion decelerates the rod smoothly to protect delicate parts.
Light Lift Gates
Actuates lightweight routing flaps in a distribution hub, benefiting from the stainless build to resist humid ambient conditions.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X175CA the Right Cylinder?
If your payload is lighter, the smaller Ø16 bore provides 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa but drops the adjustable cushion for a bumper. For heavier drives needing more thrust, stepping up to the Ø25 bore yields 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa. The MIC20X175CA is ideal when cycling at high speeds where the twin adjustable cushions prevent harsh slamming. For vertical or suspended loads, remember the air cushion only decelerates near the stroke end and acts purely as a damper, never as a brake. The piston will drift if air pressure drops, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold position. Mounting is versatile via the CA clevis, and adding the -S magnet version enables sensor tracking.
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 MIC20X175CA FAQ
This double-acting cylinder pushes with 157 N and pulls with 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, push is 219.8 N and pull is 184.7 N. The theoretical maximum force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a 1/8" air port and an 8 mm piston rod.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must select the -S magnet variant for position sensing. The stainless steel round-body build and adjustable air cushions function identically across both versions.
