The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X25SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 25mm 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 heavy-duty tasks with precision. The Ø32 bore operates on a 1/8 inch port and features a Ø12 mm piston rod with an M10x1.25 male thread. A built-in piston magnet (-S) enables position sensing with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
Twin adjustable air cushions at both ends allow you to needle-set the deceleration, absorbing high-speed end-of-stroke shock to protect your payload and reduce noise. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. For practical sizing, expect a safe working load around 241 N, lifting about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

| 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.
Handles the 402 N push required to rapidly divert heavier packages on a conveyor, using the adjustable cushion to stop the stroke smoothly without slamming.
Drives a sealing head with enough force for thick cardboard, relying on the stainless build to endure dusty or mildly humid packaging plant conditions.
Pushes bearings or pins into housings at speed, where the needle-set cushion slows the rod just before contact to prevent damaging the 241 N working load.
When sizing this 32 mm bore unit, dropping down to the MIC25X50 yields 245.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the MIC40X50 provides 628.3 N. Choose this Ø32 model when moving heavier masses at high speeds where the adjustable air cushion is essential to prevent harsh impacts. The CM round rear cover provides specific port and mounting orientation for your layout.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not act as a brake. If the air supply drops, the piston will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for secure load holding. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it is fully ready for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder uses a 1/8 inch 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 adjustable air cushion at both ends only decelerates the piston near the stroke end to reduce shock; it is not a brake or lock. The piston will drift if air pressure drops, so you must use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for load holding. The -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors to track position.
