The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X350SCM 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.
Delivering 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless steel round-body mini cylinder is built for demanding 20 mm bore automation. The defining feature of the MIC series is the adjustable air cushion at both ends. By turning a needle valve, you tune the end-of-stroke deceleration to absorb high-speed shock, protecting your payload and cutting noise far better than a fixed rubber bumper.
The 350 mm stroke operates at 30-800 mm/s via a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. It uses the standard ISO 6432 mounting interface for easy bracket interchange, while the stainless barrel and rod resist mild washdown corrosion. Equipped with a CM round end cover and a piston magnet (-S), it supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors. Based on the 0.5 MPa thrust, expect a safe working load of about 94 N, lifting roughly 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

MI-family variants: MI / MIC (double acting ±cushion), MSI / MTI (single acting push / pull), MID / MICD (double rod ±cushion), MIJ / MICJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / R / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
Pushes light parcels at high speed across sorting lines; the tuned air cushion halts the 350 mm stroke smoothly without jarring the mechanism.
Ejects machined parts from a fixture using the 157 N push force, relying on the stainless build to withstand light cutting fluid splash.
Raises an 8 kg access flap with a 2:1 safety margin, using the adjustable end cushioning to prevent slamming on the downward return.
When sizing this 20 mm bore unit, step down to an MIC16 (100.5 N push @0.5 MPa) for lighter duties, or up to an MIC25 (245.3 N push @0.5 MPa) if your payload exceeds the 94 N safe working load. The adjustable cushion is essential if you are driving the full 350 mm stroke at high speed, as it prevents harsh impacts. Remember the cushion only decelerates the piston near the end caps; it does not lock or hold the load. If you need to prevent drift on air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
Mount this cylinder using LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion brackets. The -S magnet in this SKU enables position sensing with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches, while the CM rear cover provides a compact rounded back for tight installations.
Quick checklist
This 20 mm bore cylinder pushes 157 N and pulls 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa, and pushes 219.8 N / pulls 184.7 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical max of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a 1/8" port, an 8 mm rod, and an M8x1.25 male rod thread.
The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end; it is not a brake, so the cylinder drifts on air loss. For holding, use an external rod lock. Because this model has the -S magnet, it fully supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches.
