The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X10U 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 stainless steel round-body mini cylinder handles heavy-duty actuation in tight spaces. The 32 mm bore uses a 1/8 inch port and a 12 mm rod with an M10x1.25 male thread. A 90-degree U back cover configures the port and mounting orientation for compact machinery layouts. Speeds span 30 to 800 mm/s.
Twin adjustable air cushions distinguish this unit from fixed-bumper designs, letting you needle-set the end-of-stroke deceleration to absorb shock and cut noise during fast cycles. The riveted stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. This specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors; order the -S variant if position feedback is required. Based on the 0.5 MPa push rating, it handles a safe working load of roughly 241 N, lifting about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 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.
Ideal for holding heavy metal castings during machining, using the 402.2 N push force across a fast 10 mm travel distance.
Rapidly presses carton flaps or lids with adjustable air cushions absorbing the impact to prevent crushing the packaging material.
Pushes items off a belt at high speed where the 1/8 inch port ensures rapid actuation and the cushion halts the rod smoothly.
For a 10 mm stroke, this 32 mm bore outputs 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, the 25 mm bore generates 245.3 N push, while stepping up to the 40 mm bore yields 628.3 N. The adjustable cushion proves essential when moving heavy loads at high speed, protecting both the workpiece and the machine frame from impact damage.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it functions strictly as a shock absorber, never as a brake. The cylinder will drift and drop its load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered. To secure a suspended load, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, and TC trunnion brackets.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8 inch port and a 12 mm rod. It generates 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa. 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 to enable magnetic sensing. The stainless steel build and adjustable air cushions are still present to manage high-speed shock.
