The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X125CM is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 125mm 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 32 mm bore double-acting actuator brings needle-set air cushioning to high-speed automation. The MIC32X125CM is a round-body stainless steel mini cylinder featuring a 125 mm stroke and a CM round rear cover for flexible port orientation. Its riveted barrel and piston rod shrug off mild corrosion and washdown environments, while the 1/8" port feeds ample air volume for rapid cycling.
A defining trait of the MIC line is the adjustable air cushion at both ends, letting you dial in deceleration to protect payloads and cut noise far better than a fixed bumper. With a 0.5 MPa push rating, the computed safe working load is about 241 N, yielding a vertical lift capacity of roughly 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Note this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors without upgrading to 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.

| 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.
Handles heavier carton routing at high cycle rates where the 402.2 N push force and tuned end-cushioning prevent impact damage to the diverter arm.
Applies steady 0.5 MPa downward pressure for seating bearings or pins, using the 125 mm stroke to clear the workpiece during loading.
Halts loaded pallets on a conveyor; the adjustable cushion absorbs the kinetic energy of the load smoothly without a hard metal-on-metal crash.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, stepping down to an MIC25X25 unit drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 245.3 N, whereas stepping up to an MIC40X50 bore raises it to 628.3 N. Choose this 32 mm model when moving heavier masses at high speeds, as the needle-set cushioning is essential to absorb end-of-stroke shock. The unit operates between 30-800 mm/s.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function as a brake. If your application must hold a vertical load during air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. For mounting, pair the CM back cover with LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion brackets. Because this SKU has no -S magnet, position sensing is unavailable.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" air port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 402.2 N and pulls with 345.6 N. At 0.7 MPa the push is 563 N and pull is 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet. You must select the -S version of the MIC32 to mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed switches. The stainless steel build and adjustable air cushions are still present, but position sensing requires the magnet option.
