The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X200SCA 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.
Delivering 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder is built for double-acting operation with a 200 mm stroke. The Ø20 mm bore uses a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. Because it carries the -S suffix, a built-in piston magnet is included, allowing you to mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed or electronic switches directly onto the body for position sensing. The stainless barrel and rod provide reliable mild corrosion and washdown resistance.
The defining feature of the MIC series is the adjustable air cushion at both ends. By turning a cushion needle, you can tune the deceleration to absorb end-of-stroke shock at high speeds, protecting your payload and reducing noise compared to a fixed bumper. For practical sizing, expect a safe working load of roughly 94 N, meaning it lifts about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The rear CA pivot cover simplifies clevis mounting, and the body conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for easy bracket interchange.

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.
Uses the 157 N push force to deflect light cartons at high speed, relying on the adjustable air cushion to stop the 200 mm stroke smoothly without slamming.
Ejects machined components from a fixture, where the CA pivot cover accommodates slight misalignment and the cushion needle prevents part damage on retraction.
Opens and closes access hatches in light washdown environments, benefiting from the stainless rod construction and the 8 kg vertical lift capability.
When sizing this unit, consider the 219.8 N push force available at 0.7 MPa against your actual load. If you need less force, stepping down is not an option within the MIC cushioned family, as the smaller Ø16 bore is only offered in the MI bumper version. If your application requires heavier thrust, moving up to the Ø25 MIC bore provides 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa. The adjustable cushion matters most when operating near the 800 mm/s maximum speed or moving a heavy load, where uncontrolled impacts cause wear.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function as a brake or lock. If air pressure drops, the piston will drift, so you must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold a suspended load. This SKU includes the -S magnet for sensors and features the CA rear pivot cover, so pair it with compatible clevis hardware.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder has a 1/8" port and generates 157 N push and 131.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, it provides 219.8 N push and 184.7 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of the stroke to reduce shock; it is not a brake. The piston will drift if pressure is lost, so an external rod lock or pilot check valve is required for holding suspended loads.
