Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X235SU
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X235SU is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 235mm 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 MIC20X235SU
Tame high-cycle shock with the AirTAC MIC20X235SU, a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built on a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mild washdown resistance. A needle-set variable air cushion at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke impact, protecting your payload at speeds up to 800 mm/s. The U back cover provides a 90-degree port and mounting orientation for tight layouts.
Delivering 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this Ø20 bore unit handles a safe working load of roughly 94 N. That translates to lifting about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The 1/8" port and M8x1.25 male rod thread drop right into standard ISO 6432 mini-cylinder brackets. Because the -S suffix includes a piston magnet, you can mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for position detection.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X235SU Is Used
Light Package Diverting
Pushes small cartons at high speed across a transfer plate. The adjustable air cushion prevents jarring stops that would otherwise shake the conveyor frame.
Film Roll Tensioning
Feeds a 5 kg web roll into a wrapping machine. The stainless build resists mild humidity, while the 157 N push force maintains steady tension.
Small Parts Ejection
Ejects molded plastic parts from a die. The U back cover allows a 90-degree mount, saving space while the cushion softens the 235 mm throw.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X235SU the Right Cylinder?
If you need less force, dropping to the smaller Ø16 bore drops push force to 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa; stepping up to the Ø25 bore raises it to 245.3 N. Choose this Ø20 model when moving moderate masses at high speed where the adjustable cushion prevents harsh slamming. Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end—it does not lock or hold the load. If power fails, the rod drifts, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve for vertical safety.
This 235 mm stroke falls well inside the 500 mm standard limit. Match your mounting using LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion hardware. Position sensing requires the built-in magnet provided here; a non-S SKU cannot accept switches.
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 MIC20X235SU FAQ
This double-acting cylinder has a 1/8" 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 of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The -S suffix means a piston magnet is built-in, allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The variable air cushion only decelerates the rod near stroke end to reduce shock; it is not a brake. The cylinder will drift on air loss, so use a pilot check valve for holding.
