The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X240SU is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 240mm 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 MIC32X240SU is a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built for demanding actuation. It features a stainless-steel barrel and Ø12 mm piston rod that resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. A U-type back cover provides a 90-degree port orientation for tight machinery layouts. The -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet, enabling CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic switches for position sensing.
Unlike standard bumper cylinders, this model uses a needle-set variable air cushion at both ends to absorb kinetic energy at high cycle speeds, protecting the load from end-of-stroke shock. Operating at 30-800 mm/s, it yields a safe working load of roughly 241 N. With a 2:1 safety margin, it lifts about 20.5 kg vertically. The 1/8" port and M10x1.25 male rod thread ensure robust pneumatic and mechanical connections for this 240 mm stroke unit.

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 240 mm strokes to push packages at 800 mm/s, relying on the adjustable air cushion to prevent harsh impacts when redirecting heavy cartons.
Lifts roughly 20.5 kg masses smoothly using its 402.2 N push force, with the U-type cover easing port routing in compact packaging machinery.
The stainless steel round-body construction withstands mild corrosive cleaning environments while positioning test samples over a 240 mm travel.
When sizing this 32 mm bore unit, consider the adjacent options. Stepping down to the MIC25 bore drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 245.3 N, while stepping up to the MIC40 bore raises it to 628.3 N. The adjustable air cushion is essential here if you are moving heavier masses at high velocities, as it decelerates the piston smoothly without metal-on-metal impact. Note that this cushion only eases the stop; it does not lock the rod. If your application must hold a load vertically during air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
Mounting flexibility is extensive, supporting LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, and TC trunnion brackets alongside the standard U back cover. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you can directly mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. For lighter duties without sensing needs, the MI bumper variant offers a simpler alternative, while the MID provides a double-rod option.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. It generates 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum force of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it is not a brake or lock, so the rod will drift on air loss. Use a pilot check valve for holding. The -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for position detection.
