Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X20CM
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X20CM is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 20mm 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 MIC20X20CM
High-speed actuation demands precise end-of-stroke control, which the AirTAC MIC20X20CM delivers through a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends. This double-acting, round-body stainless steel mini cylinder provides a push force of 157 N and a pull force of 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, making it suitable for washdown environments.
Featuring a 20 mm bore and a 20 mm stroke, this unit uses an M8x1.25 male rod thread and a 1/8" port. It conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for standard mini brackets. The safe working load is about 94 N, capable of lifting roughly 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. This SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors; the -S variant is required for position sensing.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X20CM Is Used
Light Part Ejection
Uses the 131.9 N pull force at 0.5 MPa to extract small plastic parts from molds, relying on the adjustable cushion to prevent impact damage on the 20 mm return stroke.
Package Diverting
Pushes lightweight cartons on a conveyor with a safe working load of 94 N, using the needle valve to softly stop the diverter arm at high cycle rates.
Flap Folding
Folds cardboard flaps at speed where the 8 kg vertical lift capacity is sufficient, with the stainless build resisting occasional washdown spray.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X20CM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 157 N push force class, stepping down drops you into the MI16 bumper-only series, which lacks adjustable cushions. Stepping up to the MIC25 yields 245.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. Choose this adjustable-cushion model when operating at high speeds or moving masses that would otherwise slam into the end caps. Note that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end; it does not function as a brake or lock.
If your application requires the load to be held in place during air loss or valve centering, the piston will drift, so you must add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The CM round rear cover provides specific port and mounting orientation. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot-block, and TC trunnion brackets.
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 MIC20X20CM FAQ
This double-acting cylinder features a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. It generates a push force of 157 N and a pull force of 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 219.8 N and the pull force is 184.7 N. The theoretical maximum force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must select the -S variant to enable magnetic sensing. The variable air cushion at both ends only serves to decelerate the load near stroke end and does not lock or hold the piston.
