The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X210SCM 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.
Delivering 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless steel round-body mini cylinder handles mid-range automation tasks with precision. The 20 mm bore uses a 1/8 inch port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it is fully ready for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches. The CM round rear cover provides a clean, standard mounting orientation for tight spaces.
A defining feature of the MIC series is the adjustable air cushion at both ends, letting you dial in a needle valve to decelerate the load smoothly at high speeds. This reduces shock and noise compared to fixed bumper designs. The riveted stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. Based on the 0.5 MPa push rating, the safe working load is roughly 94 N, meaning it lifts about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Routes small to medium cartons at high speed on a sorting line, using the adjustable cushion to stop the 210 mm stroke gently without jarring the mechanism.
Applies a steady 157 N push at 0.5 MPa to seat small electronic components or bearings, relying on the stainless build for mild shop-floor corrosion resistance.
Opens and closes lightweight access doors on material handling equipment, where the 1/8 inch port provides adequate flow for rapid, repeatable cycling.
When sizing this 20 mm bore unit, consider stepping down to the 16 mm version if your load requires less than 100 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, or moving up to the 25 mm bore, which provides 245 N, if you need more thrust. The adjustable cushion is essential when operating at high speeds or moving heavier masses, as it prevents harsh end-of-stroke impacts. Keep in mind the cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not lock or hold the load. If you need to prevent drift on air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve. This model drops into standard ISO 6432 mini-cylinder brackets and clevises, and the built-in magnet supports reed or electronic sensors.
Quick checklist
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 force 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 or lock. The piston will drift on air loss. For vertical loads, you must use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
