About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X500CM
Delivering 563 N of push force at 0.7 MPa, this double-acting round-body mini cylinder handles demanding long-stroke tasks. The stainless-steel barrel and Ø12 mm piston rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. A CM round rear cover provides specific port and mounting orientation for compact installations.
Twin adjustable air cushions at both stroke ends let you dial in needle valves to decelerate heavy 500 mm strokes smoothly. This cuts shock and noise versus fixed bumper models. Based on the 402.2 N push force at 0.5 MPa, it handles a safe working load of about 241 N, lifting roughly 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The 1/4" port feeds the bore for rapid actuation across the 30-800 mm/s speed range.

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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X500CM Is Used
Long-Stroke Diverters
Pushes heavy packages across a 500 mm gap with 241 N of safe working force while the needle-set air cushion prevents end-of-stroke slamming at high transit speeds.
Vertical Material Lifts
Lifts roughly 20.5 kg loads using the 402.2 N push force at 0.5 MPa, relying on the adjustable cushion to soften the descent and protect the load from shock.
Washdown Gate Actuation
Operates stainless-steel machinery gates in mildly corrosive environments, using the 1/4" port for rapid actuation and the CM rear cover for clean mounting.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X500CM the Right Cylinder?
For lighter duties, the Ø25 bore supplies 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger Ø40 steps up to 628.3 N if your application exceeds the 241 N safe working load of this Ø32 unit. The adjustable cushion shines on high-speed or heavy-load 500 mm strokes, absorbing kinetic energy without slamming. This SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches; order the -S variant for position sensing.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end—it is not a brake. If air pressure drops, the piston will drift and cannot hold a load. To maintain vertical position during air loss, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, and TC trunnion brackets.
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 MIC32X500CM FAQ
This double-acting round-body mini cylinder has a 32 mm bore, a 500 mm stroke, and a 1/4" port. 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. It operates at speeds of 30-800 mm/s.
This specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches; you need the -S variant for sensing. The adjustable air cushion at both ends only decelerates the piston near the stroke end to reduce shock—it is not a lock or brake. The piston will drift on air loss, so use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for position holding.
