The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X600SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 600mm 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.
Handling long-reach linear tasks, this stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder delivers 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. It is a double-acting actuator featuring an adjustable air cushion at both ends, allowing you to needle-set the deceleration to absorb high-speed shock and reduce noise. The Ø20 mm bore uses a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. Because the 600 mm stroke exceeds the 500 mm standard maximum, this unit is supplied as a non-standard, made-to-order configuration.
The built-in piston magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches. It drops into standard mini-cylinder brackets via the ISO 6432 mounting interface. For vertical lifting, the 157 N output yields a safe working load of roughly 94 N, meaning it lifts about 8 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The CA rear pivot cover simplifies clevis mounting, while the stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments.

Uses the full 600 mm stroke to push finished parts clear of a machine bed. The needle-set air cushion decelerates the 8 kg load smoothly at high speed, preventing impact damage.
Actuates a pivoting diverter arm on a conveyor via the CA clevis mount. The ISO 6432 dimensions ensure easy bracket replacement in tight logistics spaces.
Moves test trays in a damp environment. The stainless-steel barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, while the -S magnet allows electronic sensors to confirm stroke ends.
When sizing this actuator, consider both force and speed. If you need less push, the smaller Ø16 bore provides 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa but lacks the adjustable cushion. If your load is heavier, stepping up to the Ø25 bore yields 245.3 N. The adjustable air cushion is essential for this 600 mm stroke at high cycling speeds, as it prevents harsh end-of-stroke impacts. Note that the cushion only decelerates the piston; it does not lock the load. If air pressure drops, the piston will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve for holding. The -S magnet enables sensor tracking, and the CA back cover provides a rear pivot point.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder has 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, 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. The 600 mm stroke is a non-standard, made-to-order length exceeding the 500 mm standard maximum.
No, the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end to reduce shock; it is not a brake. On air loss, the piston will drift, so you need an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a load. The -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for position sensing.
