The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X60SU 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, and the AirTAC MIC20X60SU delivers exactly that via needle-adjustable air cushions at both ends. This double-acting, round-body stainless steel mini cylinder conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for Ø20 bores, dropping directly into standard mini brackets and clevises.
Generating 157 N of push force and 131.9 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, it provides a safe working load of roughly 94 N, lifting about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches. It features a U-style 90-degree rear cover, an M8x1.25 male rod thread, and a 1/8" air port.

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 rapidly pushing small cartons off a belt line at high speed, using the adjustable cushion to softly stop the 8 kg load without slamming.
Ejects lightweight molded components from a press die, absorbing the shock of the 60 mm stroke to lower machine noise and protect tooling.
Pushes a gripper arm downward to place parts, relying on the 1/8" port and needle cushion to prevent harsh bottoming on the return stroke.
When sizing this 20 mm bore, stepping down drops you into the MI-series bumper cylinder at Ø16, which yields 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa and lacks adjustable cushions. Stepping up to the MIC25 provides 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa for heavier loads. Choose the MIC20X60SU specifically when operating at high speeds up to 800 mm/s, where tuning the needle cushion protects the load from end-stroke shock.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it is not a brake. If your application must hold a vertical load during air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. For mounting flexibility beyond the U rear cover, you can utilize LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion brackets.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder uses a 1/8" air port. At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 157 N and pulls with 131.9 N. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 219.8 N and pulls 184.7 N. The theoretical maximum force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end to reduce shock; it does not lock or hold the load on air loss.
