About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X175SCA
Dial in end-of-stroke deceleration with the AirTAC MIC20X175SCA, a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built with a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mild washdown resistance. The integrated needle-set air cushions at both ends absorb high-speed shock, protecting your payload far better than a fixed bumper. A built-in piston magnet (-S) enables position sensing with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
In the 20 mm bore class, this actuator generates 157 N of push and 131.9 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, translating to a safe working load of roughly 94 N or a 2:1 vertical lift capacity of about 8 kg. It uses a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. The rear CA pivot cover simplifies clevis mounting, and the body conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions for standard mini-cylinder bracket interchange.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X175SCA Is Used
Package Diverting
Uses the 157 N push force at 0.5 MPa to push light cartons off a high-speed belt, relying on the adjustable cushion to stop the rod smoothly without jarring the contents.
Small Component Seating
Presses delicate bearings or pins into housings, using the tuned air cushion to decelerate the stroke end and prevent impact damage to the part.
Bin Lid Actuation
Opens and closes access hatches on storage bins, where the stainless build resists ambient moisture and the CA pivot mount accommodates the arc of the lid.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X175SCA the Right Cylinder?
For lighter payloads, the Ø16 bore offers 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the Ø25 bore yields 245.3 N if you need more force. The adjustable air cushion on this Ø20 model is essential when cycling at high speeds or moving sensitive loads, as it lets you tune the deceleration to eliminate end-stroke banging.
Remember that the cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end; it does not function as a brake. If your application must hold a vertical load during air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. This SKU includes the -S magnet for sensors and features a CA rear pivot for clevis installations.
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 MIC20X175SCA FAQ
This 20 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/8" port and an 8 mm piston rod. 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, the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and is not a brake. The piston will drift on air loss, so you need an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a vertical load. The -S magnet allows CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors to track position.
