The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X100CM is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 100mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments.
Delivering 563 N of push force at 0.7 MPa, this double-acting round-body mini cylinder handles heavier duty cycles than smaller bores while retaining a compact footprint. The stainless-steel barrel and Ø12 mm piston rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. A needle-set variable air cushion at both ends absorbs high-speed end-of-stroke shock, protecting your payload and reducing noise. This CM rear-cover configuration provides specific port and mounting orientation for tight machinery layouts.
Featuring a 1/4" air port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread, the unit operates at speeds from 30 to 800 mm/s. Based on the 402.2 N push force at 0.5 MPa, it handles a safe working load of roughly 241 N, lifting about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Note that this non-magnetic SKU cannot accept position switches; adding the -S magnet variant enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.

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.
Drives heavy cardboard cartons at high cycle rates on a sorting line where the adjustable air cushion prevents harsh impacts at the stroke ends.
Secures metal workpieces in a CNC fixture, using the 563 N push force to hold parts firmly while the stainless build resists cutting fluid splash.
Acts as a high-speed stop gate for loaded pallet rollers, relying on the needle-set cushions to absorb the kinetic energy of repeated strikes.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, stepping down to the MIC25X50 yields 343.4 N of push force at 0.7 MPa, while stepping up to the MIC40X50 provides 879.6 N for heavier payloads. Choose this 32 mm model for applications requiring substantial thrust in a compact round-body format. The adjustable air cushion is essential when cycling at high speeds or moving heavy masses, as it decelerates the piston smoothly without slamming.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the stroke near the end caps; it does not function as a brake or lock. If your application must hold a vertical load during air loss or valve centering, the piston will drift, requiring an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. For mounting flexibility, you can utilize LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion brackets alongside the CM back cover.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder uses a 1/4" air port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. It generates a push force of 402.2 N and a pull force of 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 563 N and the pull force is 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU lacks a piston magnet and cannot accept magnetic switches. To use CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors, you must select the -S magnet variant of the MIC cylinder. The stainless-steel construction provides mild corrosion resistance, and the adjustable air cushions at both ends only decelerate the load near stroke end without locking the position.
