Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X250CA
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X250CA is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 250mm 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 MIC20X250CA
Dial in end-of-stroke deceleration with the AirTAC MIC20X250CA, a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built for high-speed actuation. A needle-set variable air cushion at both ends absorbs shock, protecting your payload far better than a fixed bumper. The stainless-steel barrel and Ø8 mm piston rod resist mild corrosion and washdown, while the 250 mm stroke operates at 30-800 mm/s.
Generating 157 N of push and 131.9 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, this ISO 6432 mounting-interface unit handles a safe working load of about 94 N. That translates to lifting roughly 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. It uses a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors without switching to the -S version.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X250CA Is Used
Package Diverting
At 30-800 mm/s, the adjustable cushion smoothly halts the 250 mm stroke to push parcels weighing up to 8 kg without jarring the conveyor frame.
Light Assembly Press
Apply 157 N of push at 0.5 MPa to seat small bearings, relying on the stainless build to withstand occasional coolant spray.
Pallet Stop Gate
Use the CA clevis mount to pivot a gate that controls pallet flow, tuning the needle valve to prevent bounce at stroke end.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X250CA the Right Cylinder?
If you need less force, the smaller Ø16 bore yields 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa; if your payload exceeds 94 N, step up to the Ø25 bore for 245.3 N. The adjustable cushion is essential when cycling this 250 mm stroke at high speeds or moving heavy loads, as it prevents harsh impacts. The CA rear pivot cover suits clevis mounts, and you can pair it with LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets.
Because a standard cylinder drifts on air loss, do not rely on the cushion to hold a load—it only decelerates near stroke end. For vertical or suspended loads, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
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 MIC20X250CA FAQ
This double-acting cylinder pushes 157 N and pulls 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 219.8 N and pulls 184.7 N. The theoretical maximum force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features a 1/8" air port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must select the -S variant to enable magnetic sensing. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the load near stroke end and does not lock or hold the piston.
