The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X80SCM 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.
Tame high-speed end-of-stroke shock with the AirTAC MIC20X80SCM, a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built with a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mild washdown resistance. Because it carries the -S suffix, a built-in piston magnet enables position sensing using CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The CM rear cover provides a specific mounting and port orientation for tight spaces, while the 1/8" port feeds the 8mm piston rod.
At 0.5 MPa this 20mm bore generates 157 N of push force and 131.9 N of pull, making its safe working load roughly 94 N. That translates to lifting about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Unlike a fixed bumper, the integrated adjustable air cushion at both ends lets you dial in the needle valve to smoothly decelerate heavy loads, protecting your machinery and reducing noise at speeds up to 800 mm/s.

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.
Handles 8 kg cartons at high cycle rates on a sorting line, using the adjustable air cushion to softly stop the diverter arm without jarring the conveyor frame.
Raises and lowers a liquid filling nozzle, relying on the 157 N push force and washdown-resistant stainless construction to endure splash and chemical mist.
Pushes molded plastic parts out of a press at speed; the needle-set cushion absorbs the end impact to protect delicate product finishes.
If your application requires less force, stepping down to the MIC16 bore yields 100.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas moving up to the MIC25 bore provides 245.3 N for heavier payloads. Choose this 80mm stroke configuration when you need moderate travel with smooth cushioning at high velocities. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not lock or hold the load. If you need to prevent drift on air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. This Ø20 size uses the standard ISO 6432 mini-cylinder mounting interface, dropping easily into standard brackets and clevises.
Quick checklist
This 20mm bore cylinder uses a 1/8" port and an 8mm piston rod with an M8x1.25 male thread. 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.
Yes, the -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The adjustable air cushion at both ends only decelerates the piston near stroke end to reduce shock; it is not a brake. The piston will drift on air loss, so use an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a load.
