Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X210SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X210SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 210mm 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 MIC20X210SCA
Tuned for high-speed actuation, this double-acting stainless steel round-body mini cylinder uses an adjustable air cushion at both ends to decelerate the load smoothly. The Ø20 mm bore generates 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, yielding a safe working load of roughly 94 N. For vertical mounting, it lifts about 8 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
The riveted stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. Because the -S suffix equips the piston with a magnet, you can track position with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The 1/8 inch port and CA rear pivot cover simplify integration into ISO 6432 standard mini-cylinder brackets.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X210SCA Is Used
Package Diverting
Pushes lightweight parcels at high cycle rates on a sorting line, relying on the adjustable cushion to prevent harsh impacts at the 210 mm stroke end.
Flap Folding
Folds cardboard flaps on an automated carton sealer where the 157 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily overcomes paper resistance.
Bin Escapement
Acts as a small parts gate in a storage rack, releasing components sequentially using the 8 kg vertical lift capability and CMSG sensor feedback.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X210SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this unit, consider the 210 mm stroke against your space envelope. If you need less force, dropping down is not an option within the cushioned MIC range, as the smaller Ø16 bore only offers 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa. Stepping up to the Ø25 bore provides 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa for heavier loads. The adjustable needle cushion proves essential when cycling at high speeds to prevent end-of-stroke impact.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function as a lock or brake. If your application must hold a load vertically during air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve. You can mount this unit using LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion hardware alongside the CA back cover.
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 MIC20X210SCA FAQ
This double-acting cylinder features a 1/8 inch port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. It delivers 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 force of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of the stroke and acts purely as a shock absorber, never as a brake. To hold a load vertically during air loss, you must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
