About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X20SCA
High-speed actuation demands precise end-of-stroke control, and the AirTAC MIC20X20SCA answers this with needle-adjustable air cushions at both ends. This double-acting, round-body stainless steel mini cylinder smooths out impacts far better than a fixed bumper, protecting your payload while cutting noise. It features a 20 mm bore, an 8 mm piston rod, and a 1/8 inch port.
Delivering 157 N of push force and 131.9 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, it fits neatly into ISO 6432 standard mini-cylinder mounting interfaces. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. For practical sizing, expect a safe working load around 94 N, lifting roughly 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X20SCA Is Used
Package Diverting
Snaps light cartons across a sorting line at speed, using the adjustable cushion to prevent harsh slams that could scuff packaging.
Small Part Ejection
Pushes machined components out of a fixture cleanly, with the end cushion absorbing the shock of the 8 kg working load at stroke end.
Light Gate Routing
Actuates lightweight routing flaps in a distribution hub, relying on the stainless build to resist humid ambient conditions.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X20SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 20 mm bore unit, stepping down drops you into the MI-only bumper style at 16 mm (100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa), while stepping up to the 25 mm MIC yields 245.3 N. Choose this 20 mm model when your load sits near that 94 N safe working threshold and you need the adjustable cushion to tame high-velocity impacts. The CA rear pivot cover suits clevis mounting setups.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function as a brake. If air pressure drops, the piston will drift, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for strict load holding. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you can directly mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for position feedback.
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 MIC20X20SCA FAQ
This 20 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8 inch port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. It generates 157 N push and 131.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 219.8 N push and 184.7 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The cushion only decelerates motion; it will not lock or hold a load if air fails, so you need a pilot check valve for vertical safety. The -S designation means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic and reed switches.
