About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X280SCM
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore, 280 mm stroke actuator is a robust round-body mini cylinder built for double-acting operation. The stainless-steel barrel and Ø12 mm piston rod provide reliable mild corrosion and washdown resistance, while the 1/8" port and M10x1.25 male rod thread ensure solid pneumatic and mechanical connections. Featuring a CM round rear cover for straightforward port orientation, it handles speeds from 30 to 800 mm/s.
Unlike standard bumper models, the MIC series integrates an adjustable air cushion at both ends. By turning a needle valve, you tune the end-of-stroke deceleration to absorb high-speed shock, protecting the load and cutting noise. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 241 N, meaning it lifts about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Note that the cushion only decelerates; it does not lock the rod.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X280SCM Is Used
High-Speed Diverters
Uses the 563 N push force at 0.7 MPa to push heavy cartons on a conveyor, relying on the adjustable air cushion to silently stop the 280 mm stroke at high speed.
Packaging Press
Ideal for sealing or forming operations where the stainless build resists washdown, and the tuned cushion prevents crushing the package at stroke end.
Pallet Stops
Acts as a robust pneumatic stop for pallets, using its 82 kgf maximum theoretical force to arrest momentum smoothly without a hard metal-on-metal crash.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X280SCM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm unit, stepping down to a 25 mm bore drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 245.3 N, while stepping up to a 40 mm bore increases it to 628.3 N. Choose this 32 mm model when moving heavier payloads at high speeds where the adjustable dual-end air cushion is essential to prevent impact damage. If your mechanism must hold position during air loss, remember the piston will drift; you must add an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, and TC trunnion brackets. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you can directly mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG electronic or reed switches for precise position sensing.
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 MIC32X280SCM FAQ
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 adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and acts as a brake. The rod will drift on air loss; use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for position holding. The -S magnet allows CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors for stroke confirmation.
