About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X500SCM
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore, 500 mm stroke double-acting actuator brings adjustable air cushioning to heavy-duty mini cylinder tasks. The needle-set cushions at both ends absorb end-of-stroke kinetic energy at speeds up to 800 mm/s, protecting payloads and cutting impact noise far better than a fixed rubber bumper. Its stainless-steel round barrel and Ø12 mm piston rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments, while the CM round rear cover keeps port orientation clean and compact.
Featuring a 1/8" air port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread, this round-body mini cylinder is built for substantial work. The integrated -S piston magnet enables position sensing with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. 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.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X500SCM Is Used
High-Speed Carton Diverting
Uses the 402.2 N push force to push heavy cartons off a high-speed belt, relying on the adjustable air cushion to stop the 500 mm stroke smoothly without jarring the conveyor frame.
Vertical Flap Folding
Drives packaging flaps downward at high speed, where the needle-set cushion absorbs the impact at the bottom of the stroke to prevent tearing the cardboard.
Pallet Component Loading
Handles the placement of dense sub-components onto pallets, using its 241 N safe working load capacity and stainless build to operate reliably in damp packing zones.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X500SCM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore unit, stepping down to a 25 mm MIC drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 245.3 N, whereas moving up to a 40 mm MIC increases it to 628.3 N. The adjustable air cushion is essential here if you are moving heavy masses at high cycling speeds, letting you dial in the exact deceleration to prevent end-cap slamming. Remember that the cushion only decelerates the load near the stroke end; it does not act as a brake. If your application must hold a vertical load on air loss, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve to prevent drift.
For mounting flexibility, you can pair the CM back cover with LB foot brackets, FA flanges, SDB pivot blocks, or TC trunnions. Because this specific SKU includes the -S magnet, it is fully ready for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches.
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 MIC32X500SCM FAQ
This 32 mm bore double-acting cylinder uses a 1/8" air 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.
No, the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of the stroke and is not a locking brake. The piston will drift if air pressure is lost. To hold a load safely, you must use an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
