Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X50U
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X50U is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 50mm 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 MIC20X50U
Delivering 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless steel round-body mini cylinder is built for rapid actuation. The Ø20 mm bore uses a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. A variable air cushion at both ends lets you dial in the deceleration to absorb end-of-stroke shock, protecting your payload at high cycle rates. The U back cover provides a 90-degree port and mounting orientation.
The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. It conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for standard mini-cylinder brackets. Based on the 0.5 MPa push force, it handles a safe working load of roughly 94 N, lifting about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. This specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X50U Is Used
Package Diverting
Uses the 8 kg vertical lift capacity to push light cartons off a high-speed belt, relying on the adjustable cushion to prevent slamming at the end of the 50 mm stroke.
Small Part Ejection
Ejects molded components from a press with 157 N push force, tuning the needle valve to decelerate the rod smoothly and avoid marking the parts.
Bin Sorting
Handles rapid diverting of small totes in a washdown-resistant stainless build, using the U cover for compact 90-degree mounting in tight spaces.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X50U the Right Cylinder?
If 157 N push is too much, step down to the bumper-only MI16 (100.5 N); if you need more muscle, the MIC25 offers 245.3 N. Choose this adjustable-cushion model over a standard bumper cylinder when cycling at high speeds or moving sensitive masses that need smooth deceleration. Note that the air cushion only slows the piston near stroke end and does not lock the rod. The piston will drift on air loss, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve for suspended loads. Mount it using LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion hardware. Because this is the non-magnet SKU, position sensing is not possible.
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 MIC20X50U FAQ
This Ø20 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 it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for sensing. It uses a stainless steel round-body build with adjustable air cushions at both ends to manage shock.
