About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X20SCM
Dialing in end-of-stroke deceleration is effortless with the AirTAC MIC20X20SCM, a round-body stainless steel mini cylinder built for double-acting operation. A variable air cushion at both ends lets you needle-set the exhaust bleed to smoothly brake fast moving loads, drastically reducing impact noise compared to fixed bumper designs. The rugged riveted stainless barrel and Ø8 mm piston rod shrug off mild washdown and corrosion, while the built-in magnet enables precise position detection.
Generating 157 N of push force and 131.9 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, this 20 mm bore unit fits neatly into ISO 6432 mini-cylinder mounting dimensions for straightforward bracket interchange. The CM round rear cover keeps ports neatly oriented, and the 1/8" port feeds air efficiently. For practical sizing, expect a safe working load around 94 N, meaning it lifts about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X20SCM Is Used
Light Part Ejection
Uses the 157 N push force to snap small plastic parts out of a mold, relying on the adjustable cushion to silently decelerate the rapid 20 mm stroke.
Package Diverting
Pushes lightweight cartons on a sorting line where the 8 kg vertical lift capacity and stainless build handle dusty, mildly humid environments.
Compact Gripper Actuation
Drives a small parallel gripper assembly in a tight space, using the built-in magnet to confirm grip status via a DMSG sensor.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X20SCM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 20 mm bore actuator, compare it directly against its neighbors: step down to an MI bumper cylinder for lighter 100.5 N tasks, or step up to the Ø25 MIC if you need a stronger 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa. The adjustable air cushion here is essential if your mechanism runs at high speeds or shifts heavy inertial loads, as it prevents harsh end-of-stroke slamming without relying on rubber bumpers.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not lock or hold the load. If a power loss or centered valve lets the piston drift, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for true position holding. This SKU includes the -S magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches, and you can pair it with LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion mounts.
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 MIC20X20SCM FAQ
This double-acting cylinder uses a 1/8" air 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.
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 on air loss. For vertical loads, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
