About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X250U
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting round-body mini cylinder handles heavier actuation tasks with ease. It features a stainless-steel barrel and piston rod for mild corrosion and washdown resistance. The U-style rear cover provides a 90-degree pivot mounting interface, while the 1/4 inch port ensures adequate flow for the bore.
A defining trait of the MIC series is the adjustable air cushion at both ends, letting you dial in needle settings to absorb high-speed end-of-stroke shock and reduce noise. This unit offers a safe working load of about 241 N, meaning it can lift roughly 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Note that this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors without switching to an -S variant.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X250U 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 adjustable cushion to prevent harsh impacts at the end of the 250 mm stroke.
Vertical Flap Folding
Drives packaging flaps downward at speed, where the needle-set air cushion catches the load to minimize mechanical shock and noise during continuous cycling.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a robust stopping barrier for pallets, using its 345.6 N pull force to retract the gate quickly while the cushion softens the high-speed return.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X250U the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore against adjacent models, stepping down to a MIC25 yields 245.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a MIC40 provides 628.3 N. Choose this 32 mm option when your application requires roughly 400 N of force and you need to smooth out high-velocity strokes. The adjustable cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not act as a brake. If the machine loses air, the rod will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended load.
Because this specific configuration uses a U back cover, you get a fixed 90-degree rear pivot for compact mounting. Since there is no -S suffix, position sensing is unavailable. For automated feedback, select the magnet-equipped version to support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
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 MIC32X250U FAQ
This double-acting cylinder has a 32 mm bore, a 250 mm stroke, and a 1/4 inch port. It generates 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa, with an operating speed range of 30-800 mm/s.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must select the -S variant for position sensing. Additionally, the stainless steel build resists mild corrosion, and the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the load near stroke end without locking it in place.
