About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X225CM
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, the AirTAC MIC32X225CM is a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built for demanding motion control. It features a 32 mm bore, a 225 mm stroke, and a 1/4 inch air port. A needle-set variable air cushion at both ends absorbs high-speed end-of-stroke shock, protecting your payload while cutting impact noise. The stainless-steel barrel and 12 mm piston rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments.
This non-magnetic SKU cannot accept position sensors; add the -S variant to enable CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. Based on the 0.5 MPa push rating, this actuator handles a safe working load of roughly 241 N, lifting about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The CM round rear cover provides specific port and mounting orientation for compact integration.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X225CM Is Used
High-Speed Carton Diverting
Uses the 402.2 N push force to rapidly deflect heavy packages on a sorting line, relying on the tuned air cushion to prevent harsh mechanical slamming during continuous fast cycling.
Vertical Flap Folding
Drives packaging flaps downward with a safe working load of 241 N, where the adjustable end cushioning smoothly slows the 225 mm stroke to protect delicate cardboard and sealing mechanisms.
Pallet Component Pushing
Pushes assembled parts onto pallets in damp washdown zones, leveraging the stainless steel construction and 82 kgf maximum theoretical force for robust, corrosion-resistant automation.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X225CM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore unit, stepping down to the MIC25X50 drops the output to 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, while moving up to the MIC40X50 increases it to 628.3 N. Choose this 225 mm stroke model when you need extended travel with heavy payloads at high cycling speeds, where tuning the needle cushion prevents destructive end-of-stroke banging. It operates at speeds from 30 to 800 mm/s.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it is not a brake. If air pressure drops, the piston will drift, so install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold a suspended load. This base SKU lacks a magnet and cannot support sensing switches. 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 MIC32X225CM FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4 inch 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 and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must select the -S magnet variant for position sensing. The adjustable air cushion at both ends only serves to decelerate the load near stroke end and does not lock or hold the piston in place.
