The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X100SUTC is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 100mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments.
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting round-body mini cylinder is built for demanding actuation. The stainless-steel barrel and rod shrug off mild corrosion, making it highly suitable for washdown environments. Because this is a Ø32 bore, it uses a larger 1/8 inch port and a 12 mm rod with an M10x1.25 male thread, stepping outside the ISO 6432 standard dimensions.
The defining feature of the MIC series is the adjustable air cushion at both ends. By turning a needle valve, you tune the end-of-stroke deceleration to absorb shock at high speeds, protecting your payload and cutting noise. For practical sizing, expect a safe working load of roughly 241 N, or a vertical lift of about 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MI/MIC (ISO 6432) datasheet. Barrel & rod: stainless steel (round-body, riveted construction). Thread options: PT (blank) / G. Note: the Ø32 bore is a larger, non-ISO-6432 size.

| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | 484 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 82 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

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 heavier carton diverting on conveyors where the 402.2 N push force easily shifts loads, while the adjustable cushion prevents slamming at 800 mm/s.
Ideal for pressing small bearings or pins, providing reliable force and using the TC trunnion mount to accommodate slight misalignment during the stroke.
Acts as a robust stop mechanism for medium-weight pallets, using the U 90-degree rear cover for compact mounting and the cushions to absorb impact.
When sizing this 100 mm stroke actuator, compare it directly with adjacent bores. If you need less force, the smaller Ø25 MIC generates 245.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa; if you need more, the larger Ø40 MIC pushes 628.3 N. Choose this Ø32 model when moving heavier masses at high cycling rates where the twin adjustable air cushions prevent destructive end-stroke impacts. The included TC trunnion mount and U-style 90-degree rear cover provide flexible pivot installation options.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function as a brake. If air pressure drops, the piston will drift, so you must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold a suspended load safely. Furthermore, because this specific SKU includes the -S magnet, it is fully ready for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder uses a 1/8 inch port and generates 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, it delivers 563 N push and 483.8 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 82 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 only decelerates the piston near stroke end to reduce shock; it is not a brake, so you need a pilot check valve to hold loads vertically.
