The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X200SCM 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.
Dial in end-of-stroke deceleration with the AirTAC MIC20X200SCM, a 20 mm bore double-acting round-body mini cylinder featuring an adjustable air cushion at both ends. Instead of a fixed bumper, a precision needle valve lets you tune the exhaust bleed to perfectly absorb high-speed shock, protecting your payload and cutting workshop noise. The stainless-steel barrel and Ø8 mm piston rod supply reliable mild corrosion and washdown resistance.
Operating at 0.5 MPa, this ISO 6432 mounting-interface unit delivers 157 N of push force and 131.9 N of pull force, peaking at a theoretical 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. For practical sizing, it yields a safe working load of roughly 94 N and can vertically lift about 8 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The 200 mm stroke unit uses a 1/8" port, features an M8x1.25 male rod thread, and includes a CM round rear cover for straightforward port orientation. Because the SKU carries the -S suffix, a built-in piston magnet enables position sensing using CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.

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.
At 800 mm/s, the 157 N push force cleanly kicks light cartons off a belt line while the tuned cushion prevents jarring stops over the 200 mm travel.
Lifts roughly 8 kg of vertical tooling into place, using the M8x1.25 rod thread and washdown-resistant stainless body to handle minor washdown splashes.
Uses the 131.9 N pull force to retract an ejector pin rapidly, relying on the rear CM cover and adjustable cushion to absorb the snap-back shock.
When sizing this 157 N push class actuator, evaluate your kinetic energy. If your load is light, dropping down to an MIC16 bore provides 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, whereas moving heavy fixtures up to an MIC25 bore yields 245.3 N. The adjustable cushion shines in the 30-800 mm/s speed range, allowing you to set the exact deceleration curve for a 200 mm travel without metal-on-metal slamming.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function as a brake. If the air supply drops or the valve centers, the rod will drift, so incorporate an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for suspended loads. For physical mounting, the ISO 6432 dimensions accept standard LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion brackets, and the -S magnet ensures your CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors will track the piston perfectly.
Quick checklist
This 20 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/8" air port and an Ø8 mm piston rod. At 0.5 MPa it provides 157 N push and 131.9 N pull force; 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.
It features a variable air cushion at both ends that uses a needle to bleed exhaust and decelerate the load before the stroke end. Because this model includes the -S magnet, you can mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for position detection.
