The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X80UTC 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 MIC20X80UTC, a round-body stainless steel mini cylinder built for double-acting operation. An adjustable air cushion at both ends lets you dial in the needle valve to smoothly decelerate the load, protecting your machinery and cutting noise far better than a fixed bumper. The 20 mm bore generates 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, yielding a safe working load of about 94 N or a 2:1 vertical lift capacity near 8 kg.
The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments, while the 80 mm stroke operates at speeds from 30 to 800 mm/s. It uses a 1/8" port and an M8x1.25 male rod thread. This unit features a U back cover for 90-degree port orientation and includes a TC trunnion mount. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors; specify the -S variant if you require position sensing.

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.
Smoothly pushes small parcels on a sorting line at high cycle rates, using the adjustable cushion to prevent harsh impacts when shifting loads.
Drives a folding arm on a carton erector, relying on the 157 N push force and needle-set deceleration to handle the 80 mm stroke gently.
Ejects lightweight molded parts from a press, where the stainless build resists shop moisture and the cushion protects fragile components.
If you need less force, the smaller MI16 bumper cylinder offers 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa but lacks the adjustable cushion. For heavier loads, stepping up to the MIC25 provides 245.3 N push. The adjustable cushion on this MIC20X80UTC is essential when cycling at high speeds or moving masses that would otherwise slam into the end caps. Remember that the cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not act as a brake. If your application must hold a load vertically during air loss, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve to prevent drift.
This model drops directly into standard ISO 6432 mini-cylinder brackets via its TC trunnion mount. The absence of a magnet means no sensor switching is possible on this specific SKU, so choose the -S version if your control system requires end-of-stroke feedback.
Quick checklist
This 20 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/8" port. At 0.5 MPa it provides 157 N push and 131.9 N pull. 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.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for sensing. It features a stainless build with an adjustable air cushion at both ends to manage high-speed shock.
