Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X175CM
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X175CM is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 175mm 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 MIC20X175CM
Built with a stainless-steel round barrel and rod, the AirTAC MIC20X175CM brings adjustable air cushioning to a compact 20 mm bore package. A needle valve at both ends lets you dial in the deceleration to absorb high-speed end-of-stroke shock, protecting your payload and reducing noise far better than a fixed rubber bumper. It conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for Ø20, dropping easily into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises.
This double-acting actuator uses a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. Generating 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it yields a safe working load of roughly 94 N, or about 8 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 safety margin. This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches; choose the -S variant if you require sensing. The CM round rear cover provides a clean, versatile back-end orientation for straightforward mounting.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X175CM Is Used
Package Diverting
Handles high-speed lane diverting on packaging lines where the 157 N push force easily shifts light cartons and the cushion prevents end-stroke slamming.
Lab Automation
Moves sample racks with a smooth deceleration profile; the stainless build resists mild corrosion from wipe-down chemicals in clinical settings.
Small Part Ejection
Ejects molded or stamped small parts from a fixture, using the 175 mm stroke to clear the machine bed without transferring shock to the tooling.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X175CM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 20 mm bore, compare it directly against the adjacent options. Stepping down to the 16 mm bore drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 100.5 N, while moving up to the 25 mm bore raises it to 245.3 N. The 175 mm stroke sits well within the 500 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, making it a standard, easily sourced configuration.
The adjustable air cushion is most valuable when cycling at high speeds or moving heavier masses, where impact at the stroke ends would otherwise cause wear. Remember that the cushion only decelerates the piston; it does not act as a brake. If your application must hold a load vertically during air loss or when a valve is centered, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. You can mount this unit using LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion hardware.
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 MIC20X175CM FAQ
This 20 mm bore double-acting cylinder uses 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 force of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, because this specific SKU does not include the -S internal magnet, meaning it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for sensing. The adjustable air cushion at both ends functions solely to decelerate the load, not to hold position.
