About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X450SCA
Delivering 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless steel round-body mini cylinder tackles 450 mm strokes with precision. The integrated -S piston magnet enables position sensing with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches, while the 1/8" port supplies air efficiently. A CA rear clevis cover simplifies pivot mounting.
Twin adjustable air cushions at both stroke ends allow you to needle-set the deceleration, absorbing high-speed shock to protect your payload. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. It conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface, dropping into standard mini-cylinder brackets. With a safe working load of roughly 94 N, it lifts about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X450SCA Is Used
Light Parts Elevation
Raises 8 kg fixtures through a 450 mm vertical cycle, relying on the needle-set cushions to prevent dropping shock at the stroke ends.
High-Speed Diverting
Pushes lightweight cartons at speed, using the adjustable air cushions to silently absorb the kinetic energy of rapid direction changes.
Washdown Sorting
Performs repeatable sorting motions in damp packaging lines where the stainless steel rod and barrel resist mild corrosion.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X450SCA the Right Cylinder?
For lighter payloads, the Ø16 bore provides 100.5 N push force, whereas stepping up to the Ø25 bore yields 245.3 N if you need greater thrust. The adjustable air cushion is essential here; at high speeds over the 450 mm travel, setting the needle prevents harsh end-of-stroke impacts. Remember that the cushion only decelerates the piston and does not act as a brake. If the application requires holding a load vertically during air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
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 MIC20X450SCA FAQ
This double-acting cylinder uses a 1/8" air port. 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 force of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end and is not a lock; the piston will drift on air loss, so use an external rod lock for holding.
