Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X500CM
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X500CM is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 500mm 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 MIC20X500CM
Delivering 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless steel mini cylinder handles long 500 mm strokes with precision. The adjustable air cushion at both ends lets you dial in the needle valve to absorb high-speed end-of-stroke shock, protecting your payload and reducing noise better than a fixed bumper. Its round-body riveted construction pairs a stainless barrel and rod for mild washdown resistance, while the 1/8" port and M8x1.25 male rod thread simplify integration.
With a theoretical maximum output of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa, it fits cleanly into ISO 6432 standard mini-cylinder mounting dimensions. This specific SKU lacks a magnet, meaning it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors; choose the -S variant if you require switch tracking. Based on the 0.5 MPa push rating, expect a safe working load around 94 N, lifting roughly 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X500CM Is Used
Long-Stroke Diverting
Pushes packages across a conveyor belt over a 500 mm span, using the adjustable air cushion to stop the 157 N thrust smoothly without slamming.
Lightweight Vertical Lowering
Lowers an 8 kg fixture down a 500 mm path, relying on the tuned needle cushion to prevent end-of-stroke bounce and protect the payload.
High-Speed Part Ejection
Ejects machined parts rapidly from a fixture, where the stainless build resists mild coolant spray and the cushion absorbs the rapid deceleration.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X500CM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 20 mm bore, stepping down is not an option for cushioned models, as the smaller 16 mm bore provides only 100.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa and lacks the adjustable cushion feature. If your application demands more power, moving up to the 25 mm bore increases thrust to 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa. The adjustable cushion proves essential when operating at high speeds or moving heavy masses, allowing you to tune the deceleration profile.
This CM round-end model utilizes a 1/8" port and offers standard LB, FA, SDB, and TC mounting options. Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not act as a brake. If you need to hold a load vertically during air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve. Additionally, because this non-S SKU has no magnet, you cannot mount magnetic sensors for position feedback.
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 MIC20X500CM FAQ
This 20 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 male 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 include a magnet, so CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches cannot be used. You would need the -S variant for sensor tracking. The adjustable air cushion at both ends functions only to decelerate the load, not to lock or hold position.
