Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X30CA
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X30CA is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 30mm 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 MIC20X30CA
High-speed actuation meets smooth deceleration in the AirTAC MIC20X30CA, a round-body stainless steel mini cylinder built for double-acting service. A needle-set variable air cushion at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke shock, protecting your payload and lowering machine noise far better than a fixed rubber bumper. The stainless barrel and rod shrug off mild corrosion and washdown environments, while the CA rear pivot cover simplifies clevis mounting. This Ø20 mm bore runs on a 1/8" port and generates 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa.
In practical terms, this actuator handles a safe working load of roughly 94 N, letting you lift about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. It conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for standard mini-cylinder brackets. Note that this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X30CA Is Used
Light Package Diverting
Snaps small cardboard cartons off a main belt at high speed, relying on the adjustable air cushion to stop the 8 kg payload gently without bounce.
Film Roll Tensioning
Tracks a moving web in a packaging line, using the 157 N push force and CA pivot mount to maintain steady tension while the cushion absorbs rod shocks.
Small Part Ejection
Pushes molded plastic parts out of a die quickly, where the stainless build resists shop coolant and the needle-set cushion prevents cracking the product.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X30CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 30 mm stroke unit, compare it directly against the adjacent bores: the smaller MIC16 offers 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger MIC25 steps up to 245.3 N. Choose this Ø20 model when your payload sits right in that middle force band and you need the needle-adjustable cushion to tame high-speed cycling. The cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it is not a brake. If your application must hold a load vertically during air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
Mounting flexibility is excellent thanks to the CA pivot rear cover, and you can adapt the body using LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets. Because this base SKU has no internal magnet, position sensing is impossible here; order an -S variant if your control system requires CMSG or DMSG switches.
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 MIC20X30CA FAQ
This double-acting cylinder uses a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 157 N and pulls with 131.9 N. At 0.7 MPa the push increases to 219.8 N and the pull to 184.7 N. The theoretical maximum force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include the internal magnet required for sensing. You must order the -S version of the MIC to use CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic switches. The adjustable air cushion and stainless steel construction are still standard on this base model.
