About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X20U
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting round-body mini cylinder handles heavier tasks where smaller bores stall. The stainless-steel barrel and rod shrug off mild corrosion and washdown environments. A needle-set variable air cushion at both ends absorbs high-speed end-of-stroke shock, protecting your payload and cutting noise.
Equipped with a U-style 90-degree rear cover and a 1/8 inch port, it yields a safe working load of roughly 241 N. This translates to lifting about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Note this base SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors without switching 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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 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.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X20U Is Used
Package Diverting
Snaps a 20 kg carton across a transfer at 800 mm/s. The adjustable air cushion prevents the 402 N push from slamming the divert arm into the end cap.
Clamp Actuation
Secures aluminum housings for machining. The U-style 90-degree cover orients the 1/8 inch port cleanly, while the 345.6 N pull force holds the part firmly.
Lid Pressing
Presses plastic lids onto filled containers. The stainless build resists washdown spray, and the short 20 mm stroke delivers rapid, repeatable cycles.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X20U the Right Cylinder?
When sizing, stepping down to the MIC25 yields 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, while moving up to the MIC40 provides 628.3 N. Choose this 32 mm bore when moving moderate masses at high velocity, as the adjustable cushion is essential to prevent harsh impacts. Remember the cushion only decelerates near the stroke end; it is not a brake.
If your process drops air pressure, the piston will drift because a standard cylinder does not hold position. For suspended loads, 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
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/R/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check Use correct back cover (CA/U/R/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X20U FAQ
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, 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, this specific SKU does not include a magnet. To use CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches, you must select the -S variant. The defining feature here is the needle-adjustable air cushion at both ends, which decelerates the load near stroke end.
