About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X250CM
Designed for high-speed actuation, the AirTAC MIC20X250CM uses a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends to decelerate the load smoothly, cutting shock and noise that a fixed bumper cannot. This double-acting, round-body stainless steel mini cylinder pairs a 20 mm bore with a 250 mm stroke, featuring a CM round rear cover for straightforward port orientation and mounting flexibility.
Built with a stainless-steel barrel and piston rod, it resists mild corrosion and washdown environments while conforming to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for standard mini brackets. It pushes with 157 N and pulls with 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa, yielding a safe working load of about 94 N or a 2:1 vertical lift capacity of roughly 8 kg. Air connects via a 1/8" port. Note this SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X250CM Is Used
Package Diverting
Handles fast diverting of small totes on a conveyor belt, using the adjustable cushion to stop the 250 mm stroke gently without jarring the packages.
Light Assembly Press
Applies a precise 94 N working force to seat lightweight components, relying on the stainless build to endure occasional coolant splash.
Bin Gate Actuation
Opens and closes small gravity-feed bin gates, where the 8 kg vertical lift margin and shock absorption extend mechanism life.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X250CM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 20 mm bore, stepping down drops you to the 16 mm bumper-only MI variant (100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa), while stepping up to the MIC25 provides 245.3 N if your load exceeds the 94 N safe working threshold. The adjustable air cushion is essential here for the 250 mm stroke at high cycling speeds, as it protects the mechanism from end-of-stroke impact. Remember the cushion only decelerates the load; it does not function as a lock or brake. If you need to hold position vertically on air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve. For position feedback, select the -S magnet version to enable CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG 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 MIC20X250CM FAQ
This 20 mm bore cylinder uses 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, or 219.8 N push and 184.7 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU lacks the internal magnet. You must order the -S variant to use CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The adjustable air cushion at both ends only serves to decelerate the piston near stroke end and does not lock the load.
