Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X80U
The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X80U 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 MIC20X80U
Built with a stainless-steel round barrel and rod, the MIC20X80U handles mild washdown environments while delivering a 157 N push force at 0.5 MPa. The 80 mm stroke operates at speeds from 30 to 800 mm/s. A needle-set adjustable air cushion at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke shock, protecting your payload and cutting noise compared to fixed bumper models.
This double-acting actuator uses a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. It yields a safe working load of roughly 94 N, lifting about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. This specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors; choose the -S variant if you require position detection. The rear U cover provides a 90-degree mounting orientation.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X80U Is Used
Package Diverting
Pushes light cartons at high speed on a sorting line, using the adjustable cushion to stop the 80 mm stroke gently without damaging packaging.
Small Part Ejection
Ejects machined components from a fixture, relying on the 157 N push force and stainless build to withstand mild coolant splash.
Bin Loading
Deposits items into lower-level bins using the 90-degree U cover for compact pivoting, safely handling an 8 kg vertical load.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X80U the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 20 mm bore, dropping down to the 16 mm bore reduces the 0.5 MPa push force to 100.5 N, while stepping up to the 25 mm bore increases it to 245.3 N. The adjustable cushion is essential for this 20 mm unit when moving loads at high speed or slamming into the end of the 80 mm stroke. Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not act as a brake. The piston will drift if air pressure drops, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended load securely. Because this base SKU has no internal magnet, it cannot support sensing switches.
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 MIC20X80U FAQ
This 20 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. It generates a push force of 157 N and a pull force of 131.9 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push is 219.8 N and the pull is 184.7 N. The theoretical maximum force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include an internal magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must select the -S magnet variant for position sensing. The stainless-steel round-body construction and adjustable air cushions at both ends function identically across both versions.
