Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X35SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X35SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 35mm 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 MIC20X35SCA
Damping high-speed strokes cleanly, the AirTAC MIC20X35SCA relies on a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends to absorb shock rather than bouncing off a fixed bumper. This double-acting round-body stainless steel mini cylinder pushes with 157 N and pulls with 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa, yielding a safe working load of roughly 94 N. It lifts about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin, making it ideal for brisk, light-duty cycling.
The stainless barrel and Ø8 rod shrug off mild washdown, while the 35 mm stroke drops into standard ISO 6432 mini-cylinder brackets. A 1/8" port feeds the bore, and the CA rear pivot cover simplifies clevis mounting. Because the -S suffix includes a piston magnet, you can bolt on CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches for position sensing.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X35SCA Is Used
Package Diverting
Snaps a 35 mm stroke to nudge light cartons between belts at speed, relying on the 157 N push force and cushioning to prevent jarring impacts.
Small Part Clamping
Holds delicate plastic or aluminium components during machining, using the 94 N safe working load without crushing the workpiece.
Lab Sample Handling
Moves test tubes or vials in washdown-prone environments, where the stainless build resists mild corrosion and the cushion ensures gentle stops.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X35SCA the Right Cylinder?
If you need less punch, the smaller MI16 bumper cylinder lacks adjustable damping and offers 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa; stepping up to the MIC25 provides 245.3 N push for heavier tooling. Keep this 20 mm bore in the sweet spot for rapid 30-800 mm/s cycling where the adjustable cushion prevents end-of-stroke slamming.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the load near the stroke end—it is not a brake. If air drops, the piston drifts, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended load. Mount it via LB foot, FA flange, or the included CA clevis, and use the internal magnet for electronic sensing.
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 MIC20X35SCA FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 157 N and pulls with 131.9 N. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 219.8 N and pulls 184.7 N. The theoretical maximum is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a 1/8" air port and an Ø8 mm piston rod with an M8x1.25 male thread.
The variable air cushion at both ends uses a needle valve to decelerate the piston near stroke end, cutting shock at high speeds. It is not a locking brake. The -S suffix means a magnet is built in, allowing CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches to detect position.
