The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X200SU 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.
Designed for high-speed actuation, this double-acting round-body mini cylinder relies on a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends to decelerate the load smoothly, cutting shock and noise that a fixed bumper cannot. The stainless-steel barrel and Ø8 mm piston rod shrug off mild corrosion and washdown environments. With a 200 mm stroke and a U 90-degree rear cover, it fits neatly into standard ISO 6432 mini-cylinder mounting interfaces.
Operating at 0.5 MPa, the Ø20 bore generates 157 N of push force and 131.9 N of pull force. For practical sizing, this translates to a safe working load of roughly 94 N, or the ability to lift about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The 1/8" port and M8x1.25 male rod thread provide straightforward integration, while the built-in -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position sensing.

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.
Pushes light parcels at high speed across sorting belts; the adjustable air cushion prevents harsh slams that could damage lightweight packaging.
Ejects machined components from a fixture rapidly, using the 157 N push force to clear the workspace before the next cycle begins.
Raises an 8 kg tote to a transfer height, relying on the needle-set cushion to bring the 200 mm stroke to a smooth, quiet stop.
When sizing this unit, compare it against adjacent bores: the smaller Ø16 generates 100.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa and lacks the adjustable cushion, whereas the larger Ø25 provides 245.3 N. Choose this Ø20 model for moderate loads moving at high speeds where the adjustable cushion is essential to prevent end-of-stroke impact. If your application requires the piston to stay put during air loss, remember this cylinder will drift; you must add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for secure load holding.
The included U 90-degree back cover simplifies side-mounting in tight spaces. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you can directly mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for precise end-position confirmation. Operating speed ranges from 30 to 800 mm/s.
Quick checklist
This Ø20 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. 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.
No, the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it is not a brake or lock. The piston will drift on air loss. For vertical load holding, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. The built-in -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors.
