About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X60SU
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.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X60SU Is Used
Light Package Diverting
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.
Small Part Ejection
Ejects lightweight molded components from a press die, absorbing the shock of the 60 mm stroke to lower machine noise and protect tooling.
Vertical Lowering Arm
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.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X60SU the Right Cylinder?
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
- ✓ 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 MIC20X60SU FAQ
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.
