About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X350SCA
Tame high-speed end-of-stroke shock with the AirTAC MIC20X350SCA, a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built with a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mild washdown resistance. A needle-set variable air cushion at both ends absorbs kinetic energy, protecting your payload far better than a fixed bumper. Driven by a 1/8 inch port and an 8 mm rod, this ISO 6432 unit pushes 157 N and pulls 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa.
With a 350 mm stroke and an integrated piston magnet, this SKU supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors for position detection. Based on the 0.5 MPa push force, it handles a safe working load of roughly 94 N, meaning it lifts about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The rear CA clevis cover provides a robust pivot point for articulating mechanisms.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X350SCA Is Used
Diverting Gate Actuation
Snapping a diverting gate at high speed on a packaging line is smooth work for the 157 N push force, with the adjustable cushion preventing harsh slams that could misalign the conveyor belt.
Lightweight Indexing Shuttle
Moving an 8 kg workpiece carrier horizontally between stations uses the 350 mm stroke effectively, while the needle-set cushion halts the shuttle without jarring the payload.
Pivot Arm Dampening
Swinging a small machining fixture via the CA rear clevis benefits from the stainless build and the dual-end cushions, which quietly absorb the rotational inertia at the stroke limits.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X350SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 20 mm bore, stepping down is not an option for cushioned stops—the smaller 16 mm MIC yields 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa and may lack the necessary force, while the larger 25 mm bore provides 245.3 N if you need to move heavier masses. The adjustable cushion matters most when cycling at high speeds or moving bulky tooling, letting you dial in deceleration to prevent mechanical banging.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not act as a brake. If the air supply drops, the load will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve for position holding. The -S magnet enables switch sensing, and you can adapt the ISO 6432 mounting interface using LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion accessories.
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 MIC20X350SCA FAQ
This 20 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8 inch port and an 8 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 force of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of the stroke and is not a locking brake. If air pressure drops, the piston will drift, so you must use an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended load safely.
