Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X60SCA
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X60SCA 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.

About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X60SCA
Built around a 20 mm bore and 60 mm stroke, this stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder delivers 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (131.9 N pull). The defining feature of the MIC series is the adjustable air cushion at both ends. By turning the cushion needle, you tune the end-of-stroke deceleration to absorb high-speed shock, protecting the payload and reducing noise far better than a fixed rubber bumper.
The riveted stainless barrel and Ø8 mm rod shrug off mild corrosion and washdown environments. Because the bore is Ø20, it conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface, dropping cleanly into standard mini-cylinder brackets. This specific SKU includes a piston magnet for position sensing and a CA rear pivot cover. It operates on a 1/8" port at 30-800 mm/s. For vertical lifts, expect to move about 8 kg safely with a 2:1 margin.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X60SCA Is Used
Package Diverting
Pushes lightweight cartons at high cycle rates on a sorting line; the tuned air cushion halts the 8 kg payload smoothly without slamming.
Small Part Ejection
Ejects machined components from a fixture using 157 N of thrust, relying on the stainless build to resist cutting fluid mist.
Flap Folding
Folds cardboard flaps at speed where a fixed bumper would cause premature wear, using the needle valve to soften the stop.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X60SCA the Right Cylinder?
If your payload is lighter, the Ø16 MIC bore provides 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa; stepping up to the Ø25 bore yields 245.3 N. Choose this Ø20 model for moderate thrust where high cycling speeds would otherwise slam the end caps. The adjustable cushion soaks up that kinetic energy, though it only decelerates the load near the stroke end and will not hold position on air loss. For vertical loads that must resist drifting when air is removed, add an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
Mounting is straightforward using the CA rear clevis cover, or you can select LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion brackets. Since this is an -S model, the internal magnet is present and ready for 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 MIC20X60SCA FAQ
This double-acting cylinder uses 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.
Yes, the -S suffix means a piston magnet is built-in, allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches to detect position. The adjustable air cushion at both ends uses a needle valve to trap exhaust air, decelerating the load smoothly at high speeds. It is not a brake and will not hold the load if air pressure is lost.
