About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X30SCA
Dial in end-of-stroke deceleration with the AirTAC MIC20X30SCA, a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built for high-speed actuation. Its stainless-steel barrel and piston rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments, while the needle-set adjustable air cushion at both ends absorbs kinetic energy to protect your payload. A 1/8" port feeds the Ø8 mm rod, yielding 157 N of push force and 131.9 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa.
This ISO 6432 mounting-compliant unit integrates seamlessly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises. The -S suffix equips the piston with a magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensing. For vertical moves, expect a safe working load around 94 N, lifting roughly 8 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The CA rear pivot cover further expands your mounting flexibility on compact machinery.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X30SCA Is Used
Light Parts Ejection
Rapidly kicks small plastic or metal parts out of a press area using 157 N of push force, relying on the adjustable cushion to prevent bounce.
Flap Folding
Folds cardboard flaps at high cycle rates on a packaging line, where the needle-set cushion ensures silent and shock-free end stops.
Diverter Gate
Actuates a lightweight sorting gate on a conveyor, with the stainless build holding up against occasional washdowns and the CA pivot handling the swing load.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X30SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 20 mm bore actuator, consider the adjacent options. Stepping down to the 16 mm bore drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 100.5 N, whereas moving up to the 25 mm bore increases it to 245.3 N. Choose this 30 mm stroke version for short, rapid traverses where the adjustable air cushion is critical to prevent harsh end impacts. The CA back cover provides a rear pivot point for articulated applications.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function as a brake. If your system loses air, the piston will drift, so install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for suspended loads. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you can directly mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors for precise positioning feedback.
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 MIC20X30SCA FAQ
This 20 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" port and an Ø8 mm rod. 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 of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The variable air cushion at both ends uses a needle valve to tune deceleration, reducing shock at high speeds. It is not a locking brake. Because this model has the -S magnet, you can attach CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for position detection.
