Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X350CA
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X350CA is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 350mm 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 MIC20X350CA
Designed for high-speed actuation over a 350 mm travel, this double-acting stainless steel round-body mini cylinder relies on a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends to decelerate the load smoothly. The Ø20 mm bore generates 157 N of push force and 131.9 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, yielding a safe working load of roughly 94 N or a vertical lift capacity of about 8 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Its stainless barrel and piston rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments.
Conforming to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for mini cylinders, the body drops directly into standard brackets and clevises. This specific SKU features a CA rear pivot cover and a 1/8" port, but ships without a magnet. Consequently, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors; you must specify the -S variant to enable position sensing.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X350CA Is Used
Package Diverter Gate
Snaps a sorting gate across a packaging line over 350 mm, using the adjustable cushion to halt the heavy aluminum flap softly without bouncing parcels.
Light Robotic Transfer
Pushes a 6 kg electronics tray into a testing cell, relying on the 157 N thrust at 0.5 MPa and the needle-set deceleration to protect fragile PCBs.
Pneumatic Carton Stop
Extends 350 mm to arrest rolling cartons on a gravity conveyor, where the stainless build withstands dusty warehouse edges and the cushion dampens repeated impacts.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X350CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 350 mm stroke unit, consider the 219.8 N push force available at 0.7 MPa if you need extra energy to overcome friction, but step up to the Ø32 bore (402.2 N push at 0.5 MPa) if the mass resists smooth cushioning. Conversely, lighter loads might suit the Ø16 bore, though its 100.5 N output may struggle with a long 350 mm rod. The adjustable air cushion is essential here: at high speeds over a long stroke, dialing in the needle valve prevents end-of-travel banging that a fixed bumper cannot absorb.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function as a brake or lock. If your application must hold a load vertically during air loss or valve centering, the piston will drift, requiring an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Mount this CA-clevis model using compatible pivot pins, and note again that this non-magnet version precludes switch mounting.
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 MIC20X350CA FAQ
This Ø20 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. 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.
No, this specific SKU lacks the internal magnet required for switches. You must purchase the -S version of the MIC cylinder to use CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG magnetic sensors. The adjustable air cushion and stainless steel construction remain identical.
