The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X60SCM 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.
High-speed actuation demands precise end-of-stroke control, which the AirTAC MIC20X60SCM delivers through needle-set variable air cushions at both ends. This double-acting, round-body stainless steel mini cylinder provides a push force of 157 N and a pull force of 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa, dropping directly into ISO 6432 standard mini-cylinder mounting brackets and clevises.
The stainless barrel and piston rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. Equipped with a built-in piston magnet (-S), it supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches. With a practical safe working load of roughly 94 N, it lifts about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The CM round rear cover offers a clean back-end profile, and the 1/8" port ensures rapid airflow for its 30-800 mm/s speed range.

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.
Routes small cartons at high speed on a sorting line where the adjustable air cushion prevents harsh slams that could scuff packaging.
Pushes machined parts out of a lathe chuck, using the 157 N push force to clear the workspace without marring the metal surface.
Handles rapid stroke movements on a wrapping machine, relying on the stainless build to resist humidity and the cushion to stabilize the load.
When sizing this 20 mm bore, stepping down to the MIC16 drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 100.5 N, while moving up to the MIC25 raises it to 245.3 N. Choose this 60 mm stroke model when cycle speeds are high enough that impact shock would damage a standard bumper cylinder. The adjustable cushion needle lets you tune the deceleration to protect the payload.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it is not a brake. If power drops, the piston drifts, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, and TC trunnion. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it is fully ready for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder features a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. It generates a push force of 157 N and a pull force of 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 219.8 N and the pull force is 184.7 N. The theoretical maximum force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet, allowing you to mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic or reed switches directly to the body. The variable air cushion at both ends uses a needle valve to trap exhaust air, decelerating the piston smoothly at high speeds to reduce shock and noise.
