The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X10SCM 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, this double-acting round-body mini cylinder handles heavier workloads with precision. The MIC32X10SCM features a 32 mm bore, a 10 mm stroke, and a 1/8 inch air port. Its stainless-steel barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, making the unit suitable for washdown environments. A built-in piston magnet allows for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor integration.
Unlike standard bumper models, this actuator uses a variable air cushion at both ends. You can tune the needle valve to decelerate loads smoothly at high speeds, reducing shock and noise. With a safe working load of roughly 241 N, it lifts about 20.5 kg vertically using a 2:1 safety margin. The CM round end cover provides a clean rear mounting interface for your assembly.

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 packages rapidly across sorting lanes. The adjustable air cushion absorbs the end-of-stroke impact, protecting the 402 N drive mechanism from high-cycle shock.
Applies steady clamping force on assembly lines. The stainless construction handles splashes, while the 10 mm short stroke delivers rapid, repeatable actuation.
Drives bearings into housings with precise force. The needle-set cushion decelerates the rod just before contact, preventing damage to sensitive parts at 800 mm/s.
When sizing this 32 mm bore actuator, stepping down to a MIC25 model reduces the push force to 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a MIC40 increases it to 628.3 N. Choose this 32 mm option when your application requires substantial force combined with high-speed cycling that would overwhelm a fixed bumper. The adjustable cushion needle lets you dial in the exact deceleration needed to protect the load.
Because this is a double-acting cylinder, it does not hold position on air loss; the piston drifts if pressure drops, as the cushion only decelerates near the stroke end and acts as no brake. For suspended loads, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve. The -S suffix confirms the magnet is present for switches, and you can mount the body using LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion brackets.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8 inch air port and a 12 mm rod. It generates 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end to reduce shock; it is not a brake or lock. The -S suffix indicates a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must use an external rod lock to hold a load on air loss.
