The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X30CM is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 30mm stroke, 1/4" 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 32 mm bore actuator is a double-acting, round-body stainless mini cylinder built for rigorous duty. A variable air cushion at both ends allows you to dial in the deceleration via a needle valve, smoothly absorbing end-of-stroke shock at high cycle speeds to protect your payload and reduce noise. The stainless-steel barrel and piston rod provide reliable mild corrosion and washdown resistance.
Equipped with a CM round rear cover, the unit features a 12 mm piston rod, an M10x1.25 male rod thread, and a 1/4" port. Based on the 0.5 MPa push rating, it handles a safe working load of roughly 241 N, lifting about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Note this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept position switches; choose the -S variant if you require CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MI/MIC (ISO 6432) datasheet. Barrel & rod: stainless steel (round-body, riveted construction). Thread options: PT (blank) / G. Note: the Ø32 bore is a larger, non-ISO-6432 size.

| 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.
Uses the 402.2 N push force to positively divert heavier cartons at high speeds, with the adjustable air cushion preventing harsh slams at the 30 mm stroke end.
Ideal for seating small bearings or pins, where the 241 N safe working load provides consistent downward pressure without damaging delicate components.
Drives carton flaps rapidly on a packaging line, relying on the stainless round-body build to withstand occasional washdowns in food or pharma environments.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, stepping down to a 25 mm MIC 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 class when moving heavier payloads at high speeds where the adjustable needle cushions are essential to prevent harsh impact. Keep in mind 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, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
For mounting flexibility, you can pair the CM rear cover with LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot-block, or TC trunnion brackets. Because this base model has no internal magnet, it cannot support magnetic sensing. If your control system requires end-of-stroke confirmation, select the -S magnet version to enable CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4" port and generates 402.2 N push / 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 563 N push / 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must select the -S variant for sensing capabilities. The adjustable air cushion at both ends only decelerates the load near stroke end and does not lock or hold the position.
