Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X230CM
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X230CM is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 230mm 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 MIC20X230CM
Built with a stainless-steel round barrel and rod, this double-acting mini cylinder handles mild washdown environments while surviving high-speed cycling. The CM round rear cover keeps port orientation clean for tight assemblies. A needle-set variable air cushion at both ends soaks up end-of-stroke impact, dropping noise and protecting payloads far better than a fixed bumper.
Delivering 157 N of push and 131.9 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, the Ø20 bore hits a safe working load of roughly 94 N. That translates to lifting about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. It features an M8x1.25 male rod thread, an 8 mm rod, and a 1/8 inch air port.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X230CM Is Used
Light Package Diverting
Routes small parcels at high speed on a 230 mm stroke, using the adjustable cushions to stop the diverter arm smoothly without jarring the conveyor frame.
Carton Flap Folding
Pushes cardboard flaps into position on a packing line, where the stainless build resists dust and the tuned cushioning prevents crushing the 8 kg load.
Small Part Ejection
Ejects molded components from a press area, relying on the 157 N push force and needle-set deceleration to prevent parts from bouncing off the chute.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X230CM the Right Cylinder?
For lighter tasks, the Ø16 bore outputs 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the Ø25 bore yields 245.3 N if you need more muscle. Choose this Ø20 model when moving masses close to its 8 kg vertical lift capacity at high speeds, where tuning the dual-end air cushions prevents harsh slamming. It conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for standard mini brackets.
Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end, so it will not hold a load if air pressure drops. Use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for fail-safe holding.
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 MIC20X230CM FAQ
This double-acting cylinder uses a 1/8 inch air port. At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 157 N and pulls with 131.9 N. At 0.7 MPa the push is 219.8 N and pull is 184.7 N. The theoretical maximum force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for sensing. The stainless steel construction and adjustable air cushions still provide excellent shock absorption for high-speed automation.
