About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X175U
Handling mid-range actuation tasks, the AirTAC MIC20X175U is a double-acting, round-body stainless steel mini cylinder featuring a 20mm bore and 175mm stroke. A variable air cushion at both ends lets you dial in end-of-stroke deceleration with a needle valve, effectively soaking up high-speed shock to protect your payload and reduce noise. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. It uses the ISO 6432 mounting interface for standard mini-cylinder brackets and features a 90-degree U rear cover for flexible port and mounting orientation.
Operating on filtered air at 1/8" ports, this unit pushes with 157 N of force at 0.5 MPa (pulling 131.9 N). That translates to a safe working load of roughly 94 N, allowing it to lift about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Note that this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X175U Is Used
Package Diverting
Uses the 157 N push force to deflect light cartons at high speed, relying on the adjustable cushion to prevent end-stroke slamming on the 175mm travel.
Small Part Ejection
Ejects machined components from a fixture, where the needle-set deceleration protects delicate tooling from shock during rapid ejection cycles.
Vertical Lift Gates
Raises lightweight access doors, lifting around 8 kg safely; the 90-degree U cover allows straightforward rear clevis mounting.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X175U the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 20mm bore unit, consider stepping down to the MIC16 if your load is lighter—it yields 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa—or moving up to the MIC25 for heavier demands, which provides 245.3 N. The adjustable cushion is essential if you are cycling near the 800 mm/s maximum speed or moving a heavy mass, as it prevents harsh impacts. For this U-cover model, mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, and TC trunnion brackets.
Keep in mind that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it is not a brake. If air pressure drops, the cylinder will drift and cannot hold position. For suspended or vertical loads, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Because this is a non-magnet SKU, skip position sensing unless you upgrade to the -S variant.
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 MIC20X175U FAQ
This 20mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" air port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 157 N and pulls with 131.9 N. At 0.7 MPa the push force is 219.8 N and pull is 184.7 N. The theoretical maximum force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for sensing. The adjustable air cushion at both ends functions only to decelerate the load near stroke end and does not lock or hold the piston in place.
