The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X25SCM 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.
Dialing in end-of-stroke deceleration is effortless with the AirTAC MIC20X25SCM, a round-body stainless steel mini cylinder built for double-acting service. A needle-set variable air cushion at both ends absorbs high-speed shock, protecting your payload far better than a fixed rubber bumper. The stainless barrel and Ø8 mm piston rod shrug off mild corrosion and washdown environments, while the 1/8" port and M8x1.25 male rod thread simplify integration.
Generating 157 N of push and 131.9 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, this 20 mm 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 built-in piston magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG switches, and the CM round rear cover offers a clean, compact mounting footprint that drops directly into standard ISO 6432 mini-cylinder brackets.

MI-family variants: MI / MIC (double acting ±cushion), MSI / MTI (single acting push / pull), MID / MICD (double rod ±cushion), MIJ / MICJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / R / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
Shoots small plastic or metal parts out of a press at high speed. The adjustable air cushion catches the 8 kg load smoothly at stroke end, preventing frame-damaging impact.
Pushes light cartons off a conveyor belt. The stainless build resists humidity in washdown packing lines, while the 157 N push force easily moves the payload.
Handles short 25 mm strokes for electronic component transfer. The built-in magnet triggers DMSG sensors for precise end-position confirmation.
If your payload is lighter, the 16 mm bore pushes 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa and relies on a fixed bumper rather than an adjustable cushion. If you need more muscle, stepping up to the 32 mm bore yields 402.2 N of push force. The MIC20X25SCM is the sweet spot for compact, high-speed strokes where tuning out impact shock is essential. Because the cushion only decelerates near the stroke end, it will not hold a load vertically if air pressure drops; add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for fail-safe holding.
The -S magnet enables position sensing with CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. Mounting versatility is excellent: pair the CM back cover with LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot-block or TC trunnion hardware to suit your frame. For related designs, consider the MID for double-rod rigidity or the MIJ for adjustable stroke lengths.
Quick checklist
This 20 mm bore double-acting 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, 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.
No, the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and acts purely as a shock absorber, never as a brake. If air loss occurs, the piston will drift. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold a suspended load safely.
