About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X270SCA
Designed for ISO 6432 mini-cylinder mounting interfaces, the MIC20X270SCA is a stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder built for double-acting operation. A needle-set variable air cushion at both ends absorbs high-speed end-of-stroke shock, significantly reducing impact wear and noise compared to fixed bumper designs. The stainless barrel and rod offer reliable mild corrosion and washdown resistance.
At 0.5 MPa, this Ø20 bore generates 157 N of push force and 131.9 N of pull force, yielding a safe working load of about 94 N or a 2:1 margin vertical lift capacity of roughly 8 kg. It features an M8x1.25 male rod thread, a 1/8" port, and a 270 mm stroke. Because the SKU includes the -S suffix, it has a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X270SCA Is Used
Package Diverting
Pushes lightweight cartons at high speed on a sorting line, relying on the adjustable air cushion to halt the 270 mm stroke smoothly without jarring the mechanism.
Small Component Ejection
Ejects machined plastic parts from a fixture using 157 N of push force, where the stainless build withstands occasional coolant mist.
Bin Lid Actuation
Opens and closes access hatches on storage bins, using the CA clevis mount to accommodate the pivoting arc of the lid.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X270SCA the Right Cylinder?
For lighter duty, the smaller MI16 bumper version tops out at 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the MIC25 bore provides 245.3 N. Choose this Ø20 model when your application demands moderate force and high cycle speeds where the adjustable cushion is essential to prevent load damage. Note that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end; it does not function as a brake. The piston will drift if air supply is lost, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if you must hold a suspended load.
This specific configuration features a CA rear pivot or clevis mount, ideal for angular load alignment. Ensure you pair the built-in magnet with compatible CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for accurate end-position detection.
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 MIC20X270SCA FAQ
This double-acting cylinder uses a 1/8" port and generates 157 N push / 131.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 219.8 N push / 184.7 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. However, the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it is not a brake. The cylinder will drift on air loss, so you need an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended load.
