About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X250SU
Designed for high-speed actuation, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder features a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends to absorb end-of-stroke shock. The Ø20 mm bore generates 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, yielding a safe working load of roughly 94 N or a 2:1 vertical lift capacity of about 8 kg.
Built with a corrosion-resistant stainless barrel and rod, the unit includes a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. Because it carries the -S suffix, a built-in piston magnet supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG position switches. It conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface and uses a U-style 90-degree rear cover for versatile port and mounting orientation.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X250SU Is Used
Package Diverting
Pushes lightweight cartons at high speed onto adjacent conveyor lanes, relying on the adjustable cushion to prevent end-of-stroke slamming.
Small Parts Ejection
Ejects machined plastic components from a fixture, using the 157 N push force to clear the workspace efficiently.
Light Tray Handling
Lifts and positions empty storage trays weighing up to 8 kg vertically, benefiting from the smooth deceleration provided by the needle valve.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X250SU the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 157 N push class actuator, dropping down to the Ø16 bore reduces force to 100.5 N, while stepping up to the Ø25 bore increases it to 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa. The adjustable air cushion is essential when moving heavier loads at high velocities, as it decelerates the piston smoothly without harsh impacts.
Remember that the cushion only slows the rod near the stroke end and does not function as a brake; the piston will drift if air pressure is lost, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve for suspended loads. Alongside the U cover, you can utilize LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot or TC trunnion mounts to suit your frame.
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 MIC20X250SU FAQ
This double-acting cylinder features a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. It delivers 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.
Yes, the -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet compatible with CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches. The variable air cushion at both ends uses a needle valve to trap exhaust air, decelerating the piston to reduce shock at high speeds.
