About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X65SCA
Delivering 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder is built for double-acting operation with a 65 mm stroke. The defining feature of the MIC series is the adjustable air cushion at both ends, allowing you to dial in a needle valve to absorb end-of-stroke shock at high speeds, protecting your load and reducing noise compared to fixed bumper models. Its stainless barrel and piston rod provide reliable mild corrosion resistance for washdown or humid settings.
Conforming to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for standard mini-cylinder brackets, the Ø20 bore uses an M8x1.25 male rod thread and a 1/8" port. Equipped with a CA pivot rear cover, it drops easily into clevis mounts. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches. In practical terms, it handles a safe working load of roughly 94 N, meaning it can lift about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X65SCA Is Used
Package Diverting
Uses the 157 N push force to rapidly deflect small cartons on a sorting line, relying on the adjustable cushion to prevent harsh impacts during high-speed cycling.
Component Seating
Presses lightweight bearings or pins into housings, where the 8 kg vertical lift capacity and needle-set deceleration protect delicate parts from end-of-stroke shock.
Flap Folding
Actuates cardboard flaps on a packaging machine, benefiting from the stainless construction to endure mildly humid or washdown production zones.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X65SCA the Right Cylinder?
If you are moving lighter fixtures, the Ø16 bore offers 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the Ø25 bore yields 245.3 N for heavier indexing. The adjustable air cushion on this Ø20 model is essential when cycling at high speeds or moving masses that would otherwise slam into the end caps. You can tune the deceleration precisely to smooth out the motion.
Keep in mind that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function as a brake or lock. If your application must hold a vertical load during a sudden air loss or when a valve is centered, the piston will drift, requiring an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. For mounting flexibility, pair the CA back cover with LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion brackets, and utilize the built-in magnet for electronic sensor feedback.
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 MIC20X65SCA FAQ
This double-acting cylinder features 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, increasing to 219.8 N push and 184.7 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of the stroke to reduce shock; it is not a brake or locking mechanism. The piston will drift if air is lost or a valve is centered, so an external rod lock or pilot check valve is required for holding loads. The built-in -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors to track position.
