About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X60U
Damping high-speed strokes is the core strength of the AirTAC MIC20X60U, a round-body stainless-steel mini cylinder. Built with a 20mm bore and 60mm stroke, it features a variable air cushion at both ends. Turning the cushion needle lets you tune the end-of-stroke deceleration, absorbing kinetic energy to protect the payload and reduce noise far better than a fixed bumper.
This double-acting actuator pushes with 157N and pulls with 131.9N at 0.5MPa, yielding a safe working load of roughly 94N. It lifts about 8kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild washdown corrosion. It uses a 1/8" port, an M8x1.25 male rod thread, and a U-style 90-degree rear cover. Conforming to the ISO 6432 mounting interface, it drops into standard mini brackets. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X60U Is Used
Light Part Ejection
Pushes finished plastic parts out of a mold using 157N of force, relying on the tuned air cushion to stop the rod gently without cracking delicate components.
Package Diverting
Actuates a routing flap at 30-800 mm/s to sort small boxes on a line, using the U cover for a compact 90-degree pivot mount.
Vertical Lift Stop
Raises a light tote roughly 8kg against gravity, halting smoothly at the top of the 60mm stroke thanks to the adjustable end cushioning.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X60U the Right Cylinder?
If your payload is lighter, the MIC16 provides 100.5N push at 0.5MPa, whereas the heavier MIC25 offers 245.3N. Choose this 20mm bore when moving moderate masses at high speeds where the adjustable needle cushion is essential to prevent end-of-stroke banging. The U-style back cover simplifies 90-degree mounting. Because this is a non-magnetized SKU, position sensing is impossible; you would need the -S variant for switches. Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end—it is not a brake. The piston will drift on air loss, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve if you must hold a suspended load.
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 MIC20X60U FAQ
At 0.5MPa it pushes with 157N and pulls with 131.9N. At 0.7MPa the push is 219.8N and pull is 184.7N. The theoretical maximum force is 32kgf at 1.0MPa. This 20mm bore cylinder uses a 1/8" air port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread.
No, this specific SKU does not include a piston magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must order the -S magnet variant for position sensing. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the load near the stroke end and does not lock the rod.
