The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X700SCA is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 700mm 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.
Handling long-reach linear tasks, this stainless steel round-body mini cylinder features a needle-set adjustable air cushion at both ends to absorb high-speed end-of-stroke shock. The 20 mm bore double-acting design pushes with 157 N and pulls with 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa, yielding a safe working load around 94 N and a vertical lift capacity of about 8 kg with a 2:1 margin. A 700 mm stroke makes this a non-standard, made-to-order unit that exceeds the 500 mm catalog maximum for this bore size.
Built with a corrosion-resistant stainless barrel and an 8 mm rod, it uses a 1/8 inch port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. Because it carries the S suffix, a built-in piston magnet enables position sensing with CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. The rear CA pivot cover suits clevis mounting, and the body conforms to ISO 6432 mini-cylinder mounting dimensions for straightforward bracket interchange.

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.
Pushes light packages across a wide conveyor belt using the 700 mm stroke, relying on the adjustable cushion to stop the 157 N push force smoothly without slamming.
Raises small bins up to 8 kg in a storage rack, taking advantage of the stainless build for mildly humid warehouse environments and the magnet for height confirmation.
Transfers lightweight product cartons along a packaging line where the extended travel is required and the needle-set cushion minimizes noise at high cycle speeds.
When sizing this 20 mm bore actuator, consider stepping down to the 16 mm bore (100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa) for lighter loads, or up to the 25 mm bore (245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa) if your application exceeds the 94 N safe working load. The adjustable cushion is essential for the 30-800 mm/s speed range when moving heavier masses, preventing harsh impacts over the extended 700 mm travel.
Note that this cylinder does not hold position on air loss; the piston will drift if pressure drops, as the cushion only decelerates near the stroke end and acts purely as a shock absorber rather than a brake. For suspended or vertical loads that must remain fixed during failure, specify an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, and TC trunnion alongside the CA rear pivot.
Quick checklist
This 20 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/8 inch port. It generates 157 N push and 131.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 219.8 N push and 184.7 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum force of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, 700 mm exceeds the 500 mm standard maximum for this bore, making it a non-standard, made-to-order stroke. The cylinder does not hold position on air loss; the piston drifts. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the load near stroke end and is not a brake.
