About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X90SCA
Delivering 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless-steel round-body mini cylinder is built for high-speed actuation. The MIC20X90SCA features an adjustable air cushion at both ends, letting you tune a needle valve to absorb end-of-stroke shock, protecting your payload and reducing noise compared to fixed bumper models. Its stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments, while the 1/8" port and M8x1.25 male rod thread simplify integration.
Designed with a 90 mm stroke and a built-in piston magnet (-S), this model supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches for precise end-of-stroke detection. It conforms to the ISO 6432 mounting interface for Ø20 bores, dropping seamlessly into standard mini-cylinder brackets and clevises. Based on the 0.5 MPa push force, it handles a safe working load of roughly 94 N, lifting about 8 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The rear CA pivot cover provides flexible rod-end load alignment.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X90SCA Is Used
Package Diverting
Uses the 157 N push force at 0.5 MPa to push small cartons off a high-speed belt, relying on the adjustable air cushion to stop the 90 mm stroke smoothly without slamming.
Component Sorting
Ideal for diverting lightweight metal or plastic parts on a washdown line, where the stainless steel rod and barrel resist mild corrosion from coolant splashes.
Small Tray Indexing
Indexes empty trays into a filling station; the -S magnet works with DMSG switches to confirm positioning, while the CA pivot absorbs slight lateral misalignment.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC20X90SCA the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 20 mm bore, stepping down to an MIC16 drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 100.5 N, while moving up to an MIC25 increases it to 245.3 N. Choose this Ø20 if your payload sits near that 94 N safe working load. The adjustable air cushion is essential when cycling at high speeds (up to 800 mm/s) or moving heavier masses, as it prevents harsh end-of-stroke impacts. Remember that the cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function as a brake or lock.
If your application must hold position during a loss of air pressure, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve, as the piston will drift. This SKU includes the -S magnet for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. For mounting flexibility, pair the CA rear pivot cover with LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion brackets. Related alternatives include the MI bumper version, MID double-rod, and MIJ adjustable-stroke cylinders.

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 MIC20X90SCA FAQ
This 20 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/8" port and an 8 mm 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.
No, the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of the stroke and is not a locking brake. The piston will drift on air loss. To hold a vertical load, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve. The -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors for position feedback.
