The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X10CM is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 10mm 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, the AirTAC MIC32X10CM is a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built for rapid cycling. It features a 10 mm stroke and a CM round rear cover for clean port orientation. The stainless-steel barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, making it suitable for washdown environments.
A defining trait of this 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 the load and cutting noise. This SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot take a magnetic switch; choose the -S variant for CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors. With a safe working load of about 241 N, it lifts roughly 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin.

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.
Uses the 402.2 N push force to knock parts out of a fixture quickly, relying on the tuned cushion to stop the rod cleanly over 10 mm.
Snaps product across a belt in rapid cycles where the adjustable air cushion absorbs the shock of sudden direction changes.
Presses carton flaps with a 241 N safe working load, using the stainless construction to endure occasional washdowns.
For sizing context, stepping down to the MIC25 yields 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger MIC40 provides 628.3 N. The Ø32 bore here hits a strong middle ground for compact automation. The adjustable cushion matters most when driving heavier masses at high speed, as it prevents harsh impact over the short 10 mm travel. Note that the cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not hold position. If you need to prevent drift on air loss, fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve. This base model has no magnet and cannot support sensors, and it uses a 1/8" port.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder uses a 1/8" port and a Ø12 mm rod with an M10x1.25 male thread. It generates 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
This specific SKU has no magnet and cannot accept a sensor; you need the -S version for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG switches. The adjustable air cushion at both ends uses a needle to regulate deceleration, reducing shock at high speeds, but it acts only as a damper and not a load-holding brake.
