The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X150CM is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 150mm 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 MIC32X150CM is a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built for demanding motion control. It features a stainless-steel barrel and piston rod that resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. A 1/8" port supplies the air, while the 150 mm stroke is driven by a 12 mm rod. The rear CM round cover provides specific mounting and port orientation for tight machinery layouts.
The defining feature of this 32 mm bore unit is the adjustable air cushion at both ends. By turning a needle valve, you tune the deceleration to soak up high-speed shock, protecting the load and cutting noise far better than a fixed bumper. For sizing, this yields a safe working load of roughly 241 N, or about 20.5 kg of vertical lift with a 2:1 safety margin. Note that this specific SKU lacks the -S magnet, meaning it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors.

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.
Handles heavier carton diverting on conveyors where the 402.2 N push force moves boxes firmly, while the adjustable cushion prevents slamming at 150 mm stroke end.
Ideal for pressing lightweight packaging materials or lids, using the tuned air cushion to soften the 241 N safe working load impact during rapid cycling.
Acts as a high-speed stopper for pallets in washdown-prone zones, leveraging the stainless steel construction and dual-end cushions to absorb repeated shocks.
When sizing this 32 mm bore actuator, compare it directly against adjacent bores. If your application requires less force, the smaller MIC25 provides 245.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa; if you need more power, the larger MIC40 outputs 628.3 N. Choose this 32 mm model when moving heavier masses at high speeds, as the adjustable needle cushions are essential for preventing end-of-stroke impact damage.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function as a brake or lock. If the air supply drops, the cylinder will drift and cannot hold its load. For vertical or suspended loads that must remain fixed during a pressure loss, 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 double-acting cylinder uses a 1/8" port and generates 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, it outputs 563 N push and 483.8 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
This SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors; you would need the -S variant for sensing. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end to reduce shock, but it is not a brake and will not hold the load if air pressure is lost.
