About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X50CM
Tame high-speed end-of-stroke impacts with the AirTAC MIC20X50CM, a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built from stainless steel for mild washdown resistance. The integrated adjustable air cushion at both ends lets you dial in the needle valve to decelerate heavy loads smoothly, reducing noise and protecting your machinery. It conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for Ø20 bores, dropping directly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises.
Delivering 157 N of push force and 131.9 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, this 50 mm stroke unit handles a safe working load of roughly 94 N. That translates to lifting about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. It features an M8x1.25 male rod thread, a 1/8" port, and a CM round rear cover. Note this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors without switching to the -S variant.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X50CM Is Used
Light Package Diverting
Pushes small cartons at high speed onto a secondary line, using the adjustable cushion to stop the 8 kg load gently without damaging the packaging.
Small Parts Ejection
Ejects lightweight molded components from a press, relying on the 157 N push force and needle-set deceleration to prevent parts from launching.
Bin Lid Actuation
Opens and closes stainless-steel bin lids in mildly humid environments, where the riveted round-body construction resists corrosion and the cushion softens closure.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X50CM the Right Cylinder?
For lighter duties, the Ø16 bore provides 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the Ø25 bore yields 245.3 N if you need more muscle. Choose this Ø20 model when your cycle speed demands the adjustable air cushion to prevent harsh end-stroke slamming that a fixed bumper cannot absorb. The cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not lock or hold the load. If your application requires position holding on air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
Mount this cylinder using standard ISO 6432 hardware, such as LB foot brackets, FA flanges, or TC trunnions. Because this configuration ships without a magnet (-S), it cannot support magnetic sensing; select the -S version if your control system requires 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 MIC20X50CM FAQ
This double-acting cylinder uses a 1/8" port and an 8 mm piston rod. It generates 157 N push and 131.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 219.8 N push and 184.7 N pull at 0.7 MPa. 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 select the -S variant for sensor compatibility. The adjustable air cushion at both ends functions only to decelerate the load near stroke end, not to hold position.
