About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X550SCM
Delivering 563 N of push force at 0.7 MPa, this double-acting round-body mini cylinder handles heavier workloads with confidence. The MIC32X550SCM features a stainless-steel barrel and piston rod, offering mild corrosion resistance for washdown or humid settings. A built-in piston magnet enables position sensing with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. This 550 mm unit is a non-standard, made-to-order stroke that exceeds the 500 mm catalog maximum for this bore.
The defining feature is the needle-adjustable air cushion at both ends, which decelerates the load smoothly at high speeds to cut shock and noise. Based on the 402.2 N push force at 0.5 MPa, it provides a safe working load of roughly 241 N, lifting about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Air connects via a 1/8" port, and the CM round rear cover provides specific mounting orientation.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X550SCM Is Used
High-Speed Diverting
Uses the 563 N thrust at 0.7 MPa to push heavy cartons off a belt, relying on the dual adjustable cushions to stop the 550 mm travel without slamming.
Case Packing Arms
Drives a folding mechanism over a long 550 mm reach, where the needle-set cushions protect the packaging film from tearing at stroke endpoints.
Pallet Load Pushing
Shifts lighter palletized goods horizontally, safely managing a 241 N working load while the stainless build withstands damp dock environments.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X550SCM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore, stepping down to the MIC25 yields 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the MIC40 provides 628.3 N. The adjustable cushion is essential here if you are moving heavy loads at high speeds, as it absorbs end-of-stroke impact far better than a fixed bumper. Note that the cushion only decelerates the piston; it does not lock or hold position. If your application must prevent drift on air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot 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 MIC32X550SCM FAQ
This double-acting cylinder uses a 1/8" port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. 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. The 550 mm stroke is non-standard and made-to-order, exceeding the 500 mm catalog maximum.
No, the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and acts purely as a shock absorber, never as a brake. If you need to hold a vertical load or prevent drift on air loss, you must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. The -S magnet allows CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors to confirm position.
