The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X200CA is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 200mm 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.
Tame high-speed end-of-stroke impacts with the AirTAC MIC20X200CA, a 20 mm bore double-acting mini cylinder featuring needle-adjustable air cushions at both ends. Instead of a fixed bumper, you dial in the deceleration to protect payloads and cut noise. The stainless-steel round barrel and rod shrug off mild corrosion and washdown environments. Built to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions, it drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises.
At 0.5 MPa this bore pushes 157 N and pulls 131.9 N, yielding a safe working load of roughly 94 N or about 8 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 margin. The 200 mm stroke moves through a 1/8" port on an M8x1.25 male rod thread. This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches. The CA rear cover provides a pivot clevis mount for articulating rod-end loads.

MI-family variants: MI / MIC (double acting ±cushion), MSI / MTI (single acting push / pull), MID / MICD (double rod ±cushion), MIJ / MICJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / R / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
Snaps a 200 mm diverter arm across a belt at speed. The adjustable air cushion softens the impact at the end of the stroke, protecting the package and the pivot bracket.
Pushes a bearing into a housing with 157 N of force at 0.5 MPa. The needle-set deceleration prevents the 8 kg press load from slamming the tooling.
Opens and closes a light hopper gate. The stainless construction handles mildly humid environments, while the CA pivot clevis accommodates the gate swing.
If 157 N of push at 0.5 MPa is too much, dropping down is tricky because the smaller Ø16 bore in this family is an MI bumper-only version with 100.5 N push. Stepping up to the Ø25 MIC gives you 245.3 N. The adjustable cushion matters most when driving the 200 mm stroke at high speeds up to 800 mm/s, letting you tune the deceleration to stop heavy loads smoothly.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates near the stroke end, it does not lock or hold the load. If air pressure drops, the piston drifts. For vertical or suspended loads that must hold position on air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Because this base SKU has no magnet, order an -S variant if you need CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
Quick checklist
This 20 mm bore double-acting cylinder uses a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. It pushes 157 N and pulls 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 219.8 N and pulls 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 must order the -S variant for sensing. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the load near the stroke end and does not act as a brake.
