About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X40CM
Designed for high-speed actuation, this double-acting stainless steel round-body mini cylinder uses an adjustable air cushion at both ends to decelerate the piston smoothly. The needle-set cushioning absorbs end-of-stroke shock, protecting your payload and reducing noise far better than a fixed bumper. Its stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, making it suitable for washdown environments.
Delivering 157 N of push force and 131.9 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, this Ø20 bore model handles a safe working load of roughly 94 N. It lifts about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The unit features a CM round rear cover, an M8x1.25 male rod thread, and a 1/8" port. It conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions for easy bracket integration. Note this SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X40CM Is Used
Package Diverting
Handles light carton diverting on conveyors where the 94 N safe working load effortlessly pushes parcels at high speed without harsh end-of-stroke impacts.
Small Part Ejection
Ejects molded or machined components from a fixture; the adjustable air cushion silently decelerates the 8 kg load capacity to protect delicate part surfaces.
Bin Lid Actuation
Opens and closes lightweight access hatches or bin lids in mildly humid storage areas, relying on the stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X40CM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, consider stepping down to the Ø16 bore if your load is lighter—it provides 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, saving space. If you need more power, the Ø25 bore offers 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa. The adjustable air cushion is essential here when operating at high speeds or moving heavy loads, as it prevents harsh impacts. Remember that the cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function as a brake or lock.
For vertical loads or applications requiring position holding on air loss, the piston will drift. You must add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve to secure the load. This specific CM cover model has no internal magnet, meaning magnetic position sensing is not supported. If you require switches, select the -S magnet variant to enable CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
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 MIC20X40CM FAQ
This double-acting cylinder 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 delivers 219.8 N push and 184.7 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU lacks the internal magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors; you need the -S variant for sensing. The adjustable air cushion at both ends only decelerates the piston near stroke end to reduce shock—it is not a brake or lock. For load holding on air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
