Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X225CA
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X225CA is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 225mm 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 MIC20X225CA
Built 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, while the 225 mm stroke operates within the 500 mm standard limit. A needle valve lets you dial in the end-of-stroke damping, cutting shock and noise versus a fixed bumper. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments.
With a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread, it drops into standard ISO 6432 mini-cylinder mounting interfaces. This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. For vertical moves, the 157 N push force at 0.5 MPa lifts about 8 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The CA rear cover provides a pivot clevis for articulated rod-end loads.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X225CA Is Used
Package Diverting
Pushes lightweight cartons at 800 mm/s onto a side lane, relying on the adjustable air cushion to stop the 225 mm stroke without slamming the end cap.
Film Sealing Press
Cycles a sealing jaw up and down continuously; the needle-set damping absorbs the 157 N push impact at 0.5 MPa to protect the packaging film.
Small Part Ejection
Ejects molded parts from a fixture using the CA pivot clevis to accommodate the angular rod movement during the ejection arc.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X225CA the Right Cylinder?
If 157 N push at 0.5 MPa is too much, the smaller Ø16 bore provides 100.5 N but ships as an MI bumper type without adjustable cushions. If you need more power, stepping up to the Ø25 bore yields 245.3 N. Choose this Ø20 bore when moving moderate masses at high speeds where the needle-set air cushion prevents end-of-stroke banging. The 225 mm stroke is standard and well under the 500 mm maximum.
Because this is a non-magnet SKU, position sensing is impossible without switching to an -S variant. The air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not lock or hold the load. If power drops, the piston drifts, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve for suspended loads. Mount it via the CA clevis, or use 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 MIC20X225CA FAQ
This double-acting cylinder has a 20 mm bore and a 225 mm stroke. It pushes with 157 N and pulls with 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, push is 219.8 N and pull is 184.7 N. The theoretical maximum force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The air port is 1/8" and the male rod thread is M8x1.25.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet, meaning it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for sensing. It features a stainless steel build for mild corrosion resistance and an adjustable air cushion at both ends to decelerate high-speed loads.
