About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X20U
High-speed automation demands smooth stops, and the AirTAC MIC20X20U delivers exactly that via needle-adjustable air cushions at both ends. This double-acting, round-body stainless steel mini cylinder provides a robust 157 N push force at 0.5 MPa, making it perfect for compact actuation.
The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. It uses a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches. Factoring a safe working load of roughly 94 N, it lifts about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X20U Is Used
Package Diverting
Uses the 157 N push force to swiftly deflect small cartons on a conveyor, relying on the adjustable cushion to halt the 20 mm stroke without slamming.
Small Part Ejection
Pushes molded components out of a press area at speed, where the needle-set cushion absorbs the shock of the 8 kg working load at stroke end.
Compact Clamping
Secures light workpieces in a machining fixture, utilizing the U-style rear cover for a 90-degree port and mount layout in tight cells.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X20U the Right Cylinder?
Choosing this 20 mm bore gives you 157 N of push and 131.9 N of pull at 0.5 MPa. If your task is lighter, stepping down to the 16 mm bore drops the push force to 100.5 N, whereas upgrading to the 25 mm bore raises it to 245.3 N. The adjustable cushion shines when cycling at high speeds or moving heavier masses, preventing harsh end-of-stroke impacts.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it is not a brake. If you need to hold a load vertically during air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve. This U-version features a 90-degree rear cover for specific mounting orientations, and you can utilize LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or 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 MIC20X20U FAQ
This double-acting cylinder uses a 1/8" 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, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for sensing. The stainless build and adjustable air cushions still provide excellent shock absorption and mild corrosion resistance.
