The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X250SU is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 250mm 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 MIC32X250SU is a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built for demanding motion tasks. It features a 32 mm bore, a 250 mm stroke, and a 1/8 inch air port. The stainless-steel barrel and piston rod provide reliable mild corrosion and washdown resistance. A U-style 90-degree rear cover offers flexible mounting orientation for your application.
The defining feature of this series is the adjustable air cushion at both ends. By turning a needle valve, you tune the deceleration to absorb end-of-stroke shock at high speeds, protecting the load and cutting noise. With a safe working load of about 241 N, it can vertically lift roughly 20.5 kg using a 2:1 safety margin. The built-in piston magnet (-S) directly supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for position sensing.

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 moderate carton weights on a sorting line, using the tuned end-cushions to stop the 250 mm stroke smoothly without jarring the conveyor belt.
Lifts and lowers a filling nozzle assembly, where the stainless build resists washdown chemicals and the 402.2 N push force moves the mechanism positively.
Acts as a high-cycle pallet stop, relying on the adjustable air cushions to absorb the kinetic energy of repeated gate extensions at speed.
When sizing this 32 mm bore unit, stepping down to an MIC25 model reduces the push force to 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to an MIC40 bore raises it to 628.3 N. Choose this 32 mm variant when moving heavier payloads at high cycle rates where the adjustable needle cushions are essential to prevent impact damage. Remember that the cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function as a brake. If your application must hold a load vertically during air loss, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, and TC trunnion to fit your frame.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8 inch air port and a male M10x1.25 rod thread. It generates 402.2 N of push and 345.6 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of the stroke to reduce shock; it is not a brake or lock. The piston will drift if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered. You must use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for load holding. The -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors to track position.
