About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X80SCA
Dial in end-of-stroke deceleration with the AirTAC MIC20X80SCA, a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built for high-speed actuation. Its integrated needle valves provide an adjustable air cushion at both ends, absorbing kinetic energy to protect your payload and reduce noise far better than a fixed rubber bumper. The stainless-steel barrel and Ø8 mm piston rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments, while the CA rear pivot cover simplifies direct clevis mounting.
Operating at 0.5 MPa, this Ø20 mm bore generates 157 N of push force and 131.9 N of pull force. That translates to a safe working load of roughly 94 N, or the ability to lift about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Because the -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet, you can easily mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches for precise end-of-stroke detection. It uses a 1/8" port and conforms to ISO 6432 mounting dimensions for easy bracket interchangeability.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X80SCA Is Used
Package Diverting
Ideal for routing small cartons at high speeds; the dual adjustable air cushions silently absorb the 8 kg load impact at stroke end without jarring the conveyor frame.
Light Assembly Press
Drives small bearings or pins into housings, using the 157 N push force and needle-tuned deceleration to prevent damaging delicate components on contact.
Lab Automation
Moves sample trays in washdown-prone testing areas, leveraging the stainless steel construction and CMSG sensor compatibility for reliable positioning feedback.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X80SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 80 mm stroke unit, consider the step down to the MIC16, which yields 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, or the step up to the MIC25, which pushes 245.3 N. Choose this Ø20 bore when moving light payloads at high cycling speeds where the adjustable air cushion is essential to prevent harsh impact. If your mechanism requires the cylinder to hold a vertical load during a loss of air pressure, note that the cushion only decelerates the stroke end and acts purely as a decelerator, never a brake; you will need an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for secure load holding.
For installation flexibility, pair the CA pivot cover with standard clevis brackets, or utilize LB foot, FA flange, or TC trunnion mounts. The 1/8" port and M8x1.25 male rod thread simplify integration into existing pneumatic setups.
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 MIC20X80SCA FAQ
This double-acting cylinder features a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. At 0.5 MPa it provides 157 N push and 131.9 N pull force. At 0.7 MPa it provides 219.8 N push and 184.7 N pull. 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 at both ends uses a needle valve to trap and exhaust air to smoothly decelerate the load near stroke end; it is a shock absorber, not a locking brake.
