Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X80CA
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X80CA is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 80mm 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.

About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X80CA
Tame high-speed end-of-stroke shock with the AirTAC MIC20X80CA, a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built with a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mild washdown resistance. An adjustable air cushion at both ends lets you dial in the deceleration needle to protect payloads and cut impact noise, a clear step up from a fixed bumper. This Ø20 bore runs on a 1/8" port with an M8x1.25 male rod thread, fitting neatly into the ISO 6432 mini-cylinder mounting interface for standard brackets.
Delivering 157 N of push and 131.9 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, it handles light positioning with ease. For vertical moves, the 157 N output lifts about 8 kg safely with a 2:1 margin. This specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors; add the -S variant if you need position feedback.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X80CA Is Used
Light Package Diverting
Uses the 157 N push force at 0.5 MPa to push small cartons off a belt, while the adjustable cushion prevents jarring stops at 800 mm/s.
Small Part Ejection
Ejects moulded parts from a tool with the CA clevis rear allowing pivot alignment, relying on the 131.9 N pull to retract safely.
Bin Lid Actuation
Opens and closes lightweight access hatches, where the stainless build resists mild humidity and the needle-set cushion ensures soft closure.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X80CA the Right Cylinder?
Size this Ø20 bore against its neighbours: step down to the Ø16 MIC for 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, or up to the Ø25 MIC for 245.3 N when you need heavier force. The 80 mm stroke sits well within the 500 mm maximum, and the CA rear pivot cover suits clevis mounting. Choose this adjustable-cushion model over the MI bumper type when cycling at high speeds or moving masses that would otherwise slam into the end caps.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it is not a brake. If air pressure drops, the piston will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended load. Because this non-S SKU has no magnet, position sensing is impossible without switching to the magnet-equipped version.
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 MIC20X80CA FAQ
This double-acting cylinder pushes with 157 N and pulls with 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, push is 219.8 N and pull is 184.7 N, with a theoretical maximum of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a 1/8" air port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread.
No, this specific SKU lacks the internal magnet, so CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches cannot be fitted; you need the -S variant for sensing. The adjustable air cushion at both ends uses a needle valve to trap exhaust air, decelerating the piston smoothly at high speed, but it does not lock or hold the load.
