About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X30U
High-speed strokes run smoother with the AirTAC MIC20X30U, a round-body stainless steel mini cylinder built for double-acting service. An adjustable air cushion at both ends lets you dial in the needle valve to absorb end-of-stroke shock, protecting your payload and cutting noise far better than a fixed bumper. The stainless barrel and rod shrug off mild corrosion and washdown environments, while the U-style back cover provides a 90-degree mounting orientation. It uses a 1/8 inch port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread.
In the 20 mm bore class, this ISO 6432 mounting-interface cylinder generates 157 N of push force and 131.9 N of pull at 0.5 MPa. That translates to a safe working load of roughly 94 N, or enough thrust to lift about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X30U Is Used
Light Part Diversion
Uses the 157 N push force to rapidly deflect small packages on a belt line, with the air cushion preventing harsh slams at 800 mm/s.
Flap Folding
Ideal for tucking carton flaps at speed, where the adjustable end cushioning protects delicate cardboard from impact damage.
Small Press Ejection
Pushes lightweight stamped parts out of a die area, relying on the stainless build to resist mild shop coolant splashes.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X30U the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 20 mm bore, dropping down to the 16 mm version reduces your 0.5 MPa push force to 100.5 N, while stepping up to the 25 mm bore raises it to 245.3 N. Choose this model when operating at high speeds up to 800 mm/s where the adjustable cushion is essential to prevent harsh impacts. Note that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function as a brake. If your application must hold a load vertically during air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve. For mounting flexibility beyond the U cover, match the cylinder with LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets.
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 MIC20X30U FAQ
This 20 mm bore double-acting cylinder uses a 1/8 inch port. It delivers 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, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for sensing. The adjustable air cushion and stainless steel construction are standard.
