About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X225SU
Designed for high-speed automation, the AirTAC MIC20X225SU relies on a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends to decelerate the piston smoothly, cutting end-of-stroke shock and noise that a fixed bumper cannot absorb. This double-acting stainless steel round-body mini cylinder features a 20mm bore, a 225mm stroke, and a U 90-degree rear cover for flexible port orientation. It uses a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread.
Delivering 157N of push force and 131.9N of pull force at 0.5MPa, it handles a safe working load of roughly 94N and lifts about 8kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The stainless barrel and piston rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it is fully ready for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches. It conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for standard mini-cylinder brackets.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X225SU Is Used
Package Diverting
Pushes light parcels at high speed on a sorting line where the adjustable air cushion prevents harsh slams during rapid diverting strokes.
Small Part Ejection
Ejects machined components from a fixture, using the 157N push force to clear parts quickly without damaging the surface finish.
Vertical Lowering
Lowers an 8kg tooling head smoothly, relying on the needle-set cushion to absorb kinetic energy at the bottom of the 225mm travel.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X225SU the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 20mm bore unit, consider stepping down to the 16mm MIC if your load is lighter, which provides 100.5N push at 0.5MPa. If your application requires more power, the 25mm MIC offers 245.3N push at 0.5MPa. The adjustable cushion is essential when operating at high speeds or moving heavier masses, as it prevents harsh impacts. Remember that the cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function as a brake. If you need to hold a load vertically during air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. You can mount this cylinder using LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion hardware.
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 MIC20X225SU FAQ
This 20mm bore cylinder uses a 1/8" port. At 0.5MPa it provides 157N push and 131.9N pull. At 0.7MPa it provides 219.8N push and 184.7N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 32kgf at 1.0MPa.
No, the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of the stroke and acts purely as a shock absorber, not a brake. The piston will drift on air loss. For vertical load holding, you must use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
