About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X450CA
High-speed automation gets smoother with the AirTAC MIC20X450CA, a round-body stainless steel mini cylinder engineered for double-acting operation. Its defining feature is the adjustable air cushion at both ends; a needle valve lets you dial in deceleration to absorb end-of-stroke shock, protecting your payload and cutting noise better than a fixed bumper. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments, while the CA rear pivot cover simplifies clevis mounting.
Operating at 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, this Ø20 bore generates 157 N of push force and 131.9 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. That translates to a safe working load of about 94 N, or roughly 8 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 safety margin. It features an M8x1.25 male rod thread, an 1/8" port, and a 450 mm stroke. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept position sensors; choose the -S variant if you need CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X450CA Is Used
Package Diverting
Ideal for routing small to medium parcels on a 450 mm stroke at high cycle rates, where the adjustable cushion prevents jarring stops that could shift lightweight boxes.
Light Assembly Press
Provides 157 N of push at 0.5 MPa for seating small bearings or clips, with the needle-set cushion ensuring delicate components are not crushed at the stroke end.
Vertical Lift Gate
Lifts about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin, using the CA clevis mount to pivot a small access panel smoothly without slamming at the top.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X450CA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this unit, consider stepping down to the Ø16 bore if your payload is very light—it yields 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa. If you need more muscle, the Ø25 bore offers 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa. The adjustable cushion matters most when cycling at high speeds or moving heavy loads, preventing harsh impacts at the 450 mm stroke ends. Remember that the cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of travel; it does not lock or hold the load. If your application must prevent drift on air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
The CA back cover provides a rear pivot point for clevis mounting, and you can adapt the unit with LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot-block, or TC trunnion brackets. Because this specific SKU has no -S magnet, it cannot support magnetic sensing. For position feedback, you must select the -S 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 MIC20X450CA FAQ
This double-acting cylinder has a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 rod thread. 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 of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not have a magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must order the -S variant for sensing. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the load near stroke end and does not function as a brake or lock.
