Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X400CM
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X400CM is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 400mm 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 MIC20X400CM
Delivering 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless steel round-body mini cylinder handles long 400 mm strokes with precision. The adjustable air cushion at both ends lets you dial in the deceleration needle to absorb high-speed end-of-stroke shock, protecting your payload and cutting noise better than a fixed bumper. Its stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments.
Built to the ISO 6432 mounting interface, it drops directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises. With a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread, it generates a safe working load of about 94 N, lifting roughly 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors; specify the -S variant if you need position detection.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X400CM Is Used
Package Diverting
Pushes light parcels across sorting lanes at high speed, using the adjustable cushion to stop the 400 mm stroke gently without damaging boxes.
Small Part Ejection
Ejects machined components from a fixture, relying on the 157 N push force and shock absorption to prevent parts from launching.
Bin Gate Actuation
Opens and closes lightweight hopper gates, where the stainless build resists mild washdown moisture and the cushion prevents gate slamming.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X400CM the Right Cylinder?
If you need less force, stepping down is not an option within the MIC cushioned range, as the smaller bores (Ø8/10/12) only offer fixed bumpers. Stepping up to the MIC25X400 provides a heavier 245 N push at 0.5 MPa. The adjustable cushion matters most when cycling at high speeds or moving heavy loads over this long 400 mm travel, preventing harsh impacts. This CM round-end cover suits basic rear porting and mounting configurations.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not act as a brake or lock. If air pressure drops, the piston will drift, so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for secure load holding. For position feedback, you must select the -S magnet version to use CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
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 MIC20X400CM FAQ
This model features a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. At 0.5 MPa it provides 157 N push and 131.9 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa it provides 219.8 N push and 184.7 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must order the -S variant for position sensing. The adjustable air cushions at both ends only serve to decelerate the load near stroke end, not to hold it.
