Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X180SU
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X180SU is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 180mm 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 MIC20X180SU
Built for high-speed actuation, the MIC20X180SU uses a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends to decelerate the piston smoothly, eliminating the harsh impact of a fixed bumper. This double-acting stainless steel round-body mini cylinder drives a 180 mm stroke, pushing with 157 N and pulling with 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa. The Ø20 mm bore uses a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. Its stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments, while the U-style rear cover provides a 90-degree mounting orientation.
Dropping into standard brackets via its ISO 6432 mounting interface, this unit handles a safe working load of roughly 94 N. That translates to lifting about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The built-in -S piston magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches for closed-loop control. Remember the air cushion only decelerates near stroke end; it will not hold the load if air pressure drops.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X180SU Is Used
Package Diverting
Pushes light cartons at high speed across sorting lanes, relying on the adjustable cushion to halt the 157 N thrust without jarring the conveyor frame.
Film Sealing Press
Cycles a 180 mm stroke to drive a sealing jaw, where the needle-set deceleration prevents crushing the packaging material at run end.
Bin Lid Actuation
Lifts an 8 kg access door vertically, using the stainless construction to endure humid washdown conditions in food distribution centers.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X180SU the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 20 mm bore, stepping down to the 16 mm version drops your push force to 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa, whereas moving up to the 25 mm bore increases it to 245.3 N. Choose this 180 mm stroke model for mid-range travel where cycle speeds hit the 30-800 mm/s band and end-of-stroke shock must be minimized. If your mechanism must hold position during a power loss, the cushion will not lock the piston—you need an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
Mounting flexibility is broad: pair the U back cover with LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion hardware. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you can directly mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors without modifying the cylinder.
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 MIC20X180SU FAQ
This 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 of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The -S suffix means a magnet is built-in for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end to reduce shock; it is not a brake and will not hold a load on air loss.
