The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X360SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 360mm 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 demanding mid-range automation. The defining feature of the MIC series is the adjustable air cushion at both ends. By turning a needle valve, you tune the end-of-stroke deceleration to absorb shock at high travel speeds, protecting the load and cutting noise far better than a fixed bumper.
The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. This specific configuration includes a built-in piston magnet for position sensing and a CM round rear cover. It operates at 30-800 mm/s on a 1/8 inch port. With a safe working load around 241 N, it lifts about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

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.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |

| 0.5 MPa | 402 N | 346 N |
| 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.
Pushes heavy cartons at high speed across transfer belts, using the adjustable cushion to stop the 402 N stroke smoothly without smashing the load.
Drives packaging flaps down rapidly on a filling line, relying on the tuned air cushion to decelerate before the end of travel and reduce mechanical noise.
Positions dense components toward a pallet wrapper, managing the 241 N safe working load while the stainless build handles humid dock environments.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, stepping down to a 25 mm MIC bore drops the push force to 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 40 mm bore raises it to 628.3 N. Choose this 32 mm model when moving heavier masses at high speeds where the adjustable cushion is essential to prevent impact damage. Note that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not hold the load. If air pressure drops, the piston will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve for position holding.
Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, and TC trunnion brackets. Because this SKU carries the -S suffix, it is ready for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG reed and electronic sensors. A non-S SKU cannot accept a switch.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder uses a 1/8 inch port and a 12 mm rod. It generates 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 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. If air pressure drops, the piston will drift. You must add an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a load.
