The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X100U 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 handles heavier duty cycles within a compact footprint. The stainless-steel barrel and piston rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. Equipped with a U-style rear cover for 90-degree mounting, it features a 1/8" port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread.
The defining feature of the MIC series is the adjustable air cushion at both ends. By turning a needle valve, you tune the deceleration to absorb high-speed end-of-stroke shock, protecting the load and reducing noise far better than a fixed bumper. For sizing, a safe working load is approximately 241 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa push force). In a vertical lift with a 2:1 safety margin, it lifts about 20.5 kg. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors without the -S variant.

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.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |

| 0.5 MPa | 402 N | 346 N |
| 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.
Pushes medium-weight cartons at high speed onto secondary lines. The adjustable air cushion prevents harsh slamming that could damage packaging.
Applies up to 402.2 N of push force for seating small bearings or pins. The needle-set deceleration ensures a smooth contact transition.
Raises lightweight gates or product trays. With a 2:1 margin it lifts about 20.5 kg vertically, while the U cover provides stable 90-degree pivoting.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, stepping down to an MIC25X100 yields 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to an MIC40X100 provides 628.3 N. Choose this 32 mm model when moving moderate masses at high speeds, as the adjustable air cushion is critical for preventing end-stroke impact. The cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of travel; it does not function as a brake. If the application requires the load to be held in place upon air loss, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. This non-magnetic SKU cannot host position sensors; select the -S magnet version to enable CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. At 0.5 MPa it provides 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull force. 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.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must order the -S variant for sensing capabilities. The adjustable air cushion at both ends only decelerates the load near stroke end and does not lock or hold the position.
