The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X60CM is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 60mm 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.
Dial in end-of-stroke deceleration with the AirTAC MIC20X60CM, a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built for high-speed actuation. A variable air cushion at both ends lets you turn a needle valve to absorb shock, protecting your payload and cutting noise far better than a fixed bumper. The stainless-steel barrel and piston rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. Conforming to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for Ø20 bores, it drops directly into standard mini brackets and clevises. This CM round-end version features a 60 mm stroke, an M8x1.25 male rod thread, and a 1/8" port.
In the 20 mm force class, this actuator generates 157 N of push and 131.9 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, peaking at a theoretical 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Translating that to real-world lifting, it handles a safe working load of roughly 94 N, lifting about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Note that this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors.

MI-family variants: MI / MIC (double acting ±cushion), MSI / MTI (single acting push / pull), MID / MICD (double rod ±cushion), MIJ / MICJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / R / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
Ideal for routing small cartons at high speed, where the adjustable air cushion gently stops the 60 mm stroke to prevent crushing lightweight packaging.
Provides reliable push force for ejecting machined components, using the 157 N thrust to clear the workspace without slamming into the end cap.
Handles delicate sample trays in washdown-prone lab settings, benefiting from the stainless construction and smooth deceleration at cycle endpoints.
When sizing this 20 mm bore, stepping down to the 16 mm variant drops your 0.5 MPa push force to 100.5 N, while moving up to the 25 mm bore raises it to 245.3 N. Choose the MIC20X60CM when cycle speeds demand the adjustable air cushion to prevent harsh impacts. Remember that the cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end; it does not function as a lock or brake. If your application must hold a load vertically during air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Mount this CM round-end cylinder using compatible front and rear accessories, and select the -S magnet version if you require sensing.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder features a 1/8" port and an 8 mm rod. It delivers 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 force of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for magnetic sensing. The adjustable air cushion at both ends functions solely to decelerate the load, not to hold position.
