About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X260SCM
Featuring an adjustable air cushion at both ends, the AirTAC MIC20X260SCM tames high-speed end-of-stroke shock far better than a fixed bumper. This 20 mm bore, 260 mm stroke double-acting actuator delivers 157 N of push force and 131.9 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, making it a solid fit for medium-duty mini tasks. The stainless-steel round barrel and rod shrug off mild corrosion and washdown environments.
Built to the ISO 6432 mounting interface, it drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises. The CM round rear cover handles specific port and mounting orientation needs. With a safe working load around 94 N, it lifts about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The built-in -S piston magnet supports CMSG, DMSG and EMSG position switches.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X260SCM Is Used
Package Diverting
Pushes small to medium cartons at high speed onto secondary lines; the adjustable cushion prevents harsh impacts that could damage packaging.
Light Assembly Press
Applies up to 157 N of push force to seat small bearings or clips, relying on the cushion to soften the end stop during rapid strokes.
Vertical Part Lift
Raises lightweight wares about 8 kg against gravity; the stainless build withstands humid or mildly washdown storage environments.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X260SCM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 157 N push actuator, dropping to an MIC16 lowers output to 100.5 N, while stepping up to an MIC25 raises it to 245.3 N. Choose this 20 mm bore when moving light-to-medium masses at high cycle rates where the needle-set cushion can decelerate the load smoothly. The cushion only reduces impact speed near the stroke ends; it is not a brake.
If your process requires the piston to stay put after a loss of air pressure, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. This SKU includes the -S magnet for electronic or reed sensors, and uses a 1/8 inch port. You can mount it using LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot-block, or TC trunnion hardware.
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 MIC20X260SCM FAQ
This 20 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/8 inch port. At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 157 N and pulls with 131.9 N. At 0.7 MPa it pushes with 219.8 N and pulls with 184.7 N. The theoretical maximum force is 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, not a brake. The piston will drift on air loss. To hold a vertical load, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
