The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X225U is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 225mm 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 heavier duty cycles. The 32 mm bore uses a 1/8 inch port and a 12 mm rod with an M10x1.25 male thread. It carries a U back cover that orients the port 90 degrees for tight machinery layouts. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG position switches.
Twin adjustable air cushions at both ends let you dial in a needle valve to decelerate the 225 mm stroke smoothly, absorbing end-of-stroke shock at high speeds. The rolled stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. For vertical moves, the 402.2 N output lifts about 20.5 kg safely with a 2:1 margin, yielding a safe working load near 241 N.

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.
Uses the 241 N safe working load to push medium cartons off a high-speed belt, relying on the adjustable cushions to stop the 225 mm stroke without slamming.
Folds heavy cardboard flaps on a packaging line where the 90-degree U back cover port keeps airlines clear of the folding mechanism.
Raises a 20 kg access gate vertically, using the twin needle cushions to soften the descent at the bottom of the stroke.
When sizing this 32 mm bore unit, stepping down to a 25 mm MIC drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 245.3 N, while moving up to a 40 mm bore raises it to 628.3 N. Choose this 32 mm model when moving moderate masses at high cycle rates where the adjustable end cushions are essential to prevent impact damage. The cushion only decelerates the load near the stroke end; it is not a brake. The piston will drift if air pressure drops, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended load.
Quick checklist
This double-acting 32 mm bore cylinder pushes 402.2 N and pulls 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 563 N and pulls 483.8 N, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a 1/8 inch air port, a 12 mm piston rod and an M10x1.25 male rod thread.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant of this round-body stainless cylinder to enable magnetic sensing. The adjustable air cushions at both ends function only to decelerate the load, not to hold it in place.
