About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X500SU
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, the AirTAC MIC32X500SU is a robust double-acting round-body mini cylinder built for a 500 mm stroke. Its stainless-steel barrel and Ø12 mm piston rod provide reliable mild corrosion and washdown resistance. A 1/8" port supplies the air, while the U-style 90-degree rear cover simplifies port and mounting orientation in tight machinery layouts.
Unlike standard bumper units, this model features an adjustable air cushion at both ends. You can tune a needle valve to decelerate heavy 32 mm loads smoothly at high speeds, protecting the workpiece and cutting noise. With a safe working load of roughly 241 N, it lifts about 20.5 kg vertically using a 2:1 safety margin. The -S suffix denotes a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X500SU Is Used
High-Speed Carton Diversion
Uses the 402.2 N push force to deflect heavy packages on a sorting line, relying on the tuned air cushion to prevent harsh slamming during rapid 500 mm strokes.
Vertical Film Roll Lift
Raises a 20 kg web roll into a packaging machine, benefiting from the stainless build and smooth end-of-stroke deceleration to protect the material.
Automated Gate Control
Actuates a heavy machine guard at high cycle rates, using the U-style rear cover for compact 90-degree mounting and the cushion to reduce impact noise.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X500SU the Right Cylinder?
Choosing this 32 mm bore makes sense when you need substantial thrust without stepping up to a 40 mm unit. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.2 N and pulls 345.6 N. If your application is lighter, the 25 mm bore offers 245.3 N push; if you need more power, the 40 mm bore provides 628.3 N. The adjustable cushion is essential here for high-velocity 500 mm strokes, as it absorbs end-of-travel kinetic energy. Note that the cushion only decelerates the piston and does not lock or hold the load. If your system loses air, the rod will drift. To maintain position, 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 MIC32X500SU FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" air port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.2 N and pulls 345.6 N. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 563 N and pulls 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
It has a needle-adjustable air cushion at both ends that decelerates the piston near stroke end to reduce shock, but it is not a brake or lock. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, you can mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for position detection.
