Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X25SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X25SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 25mm 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 MIC20X25SCA
Tame high-speed end-of-stroke shock with the AirTAC MIC20X25SCA, a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built with a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mild washdown resistance. A variable air cushion at both ends lets you dial in the deceleration needle to protect payloads and cut noise, a major step up from a fixed bumper. It conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for Ø20, dropping into standard mini brackets, and features a CA rear pivot cover plus an integrated magnet for position sensing.
Delivering 157 N of push force and 131.9 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, this 20 mm bore unit handles short 25 mm strokes with a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. The built-in magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for precise end-position feedback. Based on the 0.5 MPa thrust, it yields a safe working load of roughly 94 N, lifting about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X25SCA Is Used
Package Diverting
Snaps small cartons across a sorting lane with a 25 mm stroke, using the adjustable cushion to stop the 8 kg payload smoothly without bounce.
Component Seating
Presses lightweight bearings into housings on an assembly line, relying on the 157 N push force and stainless build for mild washdown areas.
Gripper Actuation
Opens and closes small pneumatic grippers at high cycle rates, where the needle-set cushion absorbs the rapid shock at both ends of travel.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X25SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 20 mm bore actuator, compare it directly against its neighbors: step down to an MIC16 for lighter duty (100.5 N push @0.5 MPa), or move up to an MIC25 if you need more thrust (245.3 N push @0.5 MPa). The adjustable air cushion is essential if you are cycling at high speeds or moving a heavy load, as it prevents harsh impacts at the stroke ends. For vertical or suspended loads, remember this cylinder does not hold position on air loss—the piston will drift. To lock a load safely, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
The integrated -S magnet allows seamless mounting of CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors without extra hardware. You can pair the standard ISO 6432 body with LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion brackets, while the factory CA back cover provides a fixed rear clevis mount for pivot applications.
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 MIC20X25SCA FAQ
This 20 mm bore cylinder features 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 force of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S suffix means it has a built-in piston magnet compatible with CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches. The variable air cushion at both ends uses a needle valve to decelerate the piston near stroke end, reducing shock at high speeds, but it is not a braking lock.
