Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X530SU
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X530SU is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 530mm 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 MIC20X530SU
Engineered for high-speed actuation, the AirTAC MIC20X530SU features a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends to decelerate the piston smoothly, eliminating end-of-stroke shock. This double-acting round-body mini cylinder utilizes a stainless-steel barrel and rod to resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. It conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface, dropping directly into standard mini brackets and clevises.
Delivering 157 N of push and 131.9 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, it provides a safe working load of roughly 94 N, capable of lifting about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The 530 mm stroke is a non-standard, made-to-order length exceeding the 500 mm maximum for this bore. It includes a 1/8 inch port, an M8x1.25 male rod thread, and a U-type 90-degree rear cover. The -S suffix adds a piston magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensing.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X530SU Is Used
High-Speed Diverting
Uses the 94 N safe working load to push light parcels off a belt at 800 mm/s, relying on the adjustable air cushion to prevent end-stroke hammering.
Carton Flap Folding
Extends the full 530 mm stroke to fold large corrugated flaps, where the needle-set deceleration protects the 8 kg vertical lift mechanism from shock.
Vertical Parts Lift
Raises lightweight plastic totes using the 157 N push force, requiring a pilot check valve since the cushion only slows the piston and cannot hold the load.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X530SU the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this unit, consider the 32 mm bore if your load exceeds the 157 N push force available here, as the larger bore provides 402.2 N at 0.5 MPa. Conversely, if your application is lighter, the 16 mm bore offers 100.5 N but lacks the adjustable cushion feature, being a bumper-only MI variant. The adjustable cushion on this model is critical for the 530 mm stroke at high cycling speeds, as it prevents impact damage without relying on fixed bumpers.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and does not function as a brake. If the air supply drops, the piston will drift, so you must integrate an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold a suspended load. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, and TC trunnion brackets, while the internal magnet supports reed or electronic sensors.
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 MIC20X530SU FAQ
This double-acting cylinder has a 1/8 inch port and an 8 mm rod. 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.
The -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The adjustable air cushion at both ends only decelerates the piston near stroke end to reduce shock; it is not a brake, so the cylinder will drift on air loss.
