About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X5U
Designed for high-impact duty, this round-body stainless mini cylinder delivers 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The adjustable air cushion at both ends uses a needle valve to absorb end-of-stroke shock, protecting your machinery at high cycle speeds. Its riveted stainless-steel barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. Because this is a non-magnet SKU, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. The U-style rear cover provides a 90-degree mounting interface for compact installations.
With a 32 mm bore and a 5 mm stroke, the unit operates at speeds from 30 to 800 mm/s via a 1/8 inch port. Based on the 0.5 MPa push rating, the safe working load is approximately 241 N. In a vertical lift scenario with a 2:1 safety margin, it lifts about 20.5 kg. The M10x1.25 male rod thread handles secure load connections, while the double-acting design ensures reliable operation in both directions.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X5U Is Used
Short-Stroke Clamping
Ideal for securing heavy metal parts in machining fixtures, using the 402.2 N push force to hold components firmly against a stop.
High-Speed Sealing
Perfect for rapidly pressing carton flaps, where the adjustable air cushion prevents crushing the cardboard at the end of the 5 mm travel.
Product Diverting
Excels at abruptly pushing items off a conveyor belt, relying on the stainless build to endure washdown cycles in food processing lines.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X5U the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore unit, stepping down to a MIC25 model reduces the 0.5 MPa push force to 245.3 N, whereas stepping up to a MIC40 increases it to 628.3 N. The adjustable air cushion is essential here if you are moving heavy loads at high speeds, as it prevents harsh mechanical impacts. Note that the cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function as a brake. If your application requires the load to be held in place during air loss, you must add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. This specific configuration lacks the -S magnet, so position sensing is not supported. You can mount it using the U back cover or adapt it with LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion accessories.
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 MIC32X5U FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8 inch port and an M10x1.25 male rod thread. It generates 402.2 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include the -S magnet option, meaning it cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for sensing. The adjustable air cushion at both ends only decelerates the load near stroke end and does not lock or hold the position on air loss.
