The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X600SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 600mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments.
Designed for heavy-duty mini actuation, this double-acting round-body mini cylinder features a 32 mm bore and an extended 600 mm stroke. Because 600 mm exceeds the 500 mm standard maximum for this bore size, this specific SKU is manufactured as a non-standard, made-to-order unit. The stainless-steel barrel and piston rod provide reliable mild corrosion and washdown resistance. A built-in piston magnet (-S) enables position sensing with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches, while the CM round rear cover dictates the port and mounting orientation.
The defining feature of the MIC series is the adjustable air cushion at both ends. By turning a needle valve, you tune the deceleration to absorb end-of-stroke shock at high cycling speeds, protecting the load and reducing noise far better than a fixed bumper. Operating at 0.5 MPa, it delivers 402.2 N of push force and 345.6 N of pull force. For practical sizing, this translates to a safe working load of roughly 241 N, or the ability to lift about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Air connections use a 1/8" port.

MI-family variants: MI / MIC (double acting ±cushion), MSI / MTI (single acting push / pull), MID / MICD (double rod ±cushion), MIJ / MICJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / R / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
Uses the 600 mm stroke to push heavy cartons across a transfer lane, relying on the tuned air cushion to stop the 402.2 N push force smoothly without slamming.
Lifts and folds packaging flaps on a washdown line, where the stainless build resists moisture and the 20.5 kg vertical lift capacity handles rigid board materials.
Ejects dense machined parts from a press at high speed, using the adjustable end cushions to decelerate the 12 mm rod and prevent impact damage over the extended stroke.
When sizing this 32 mm bore actuator, compare it directly against adjacent bores. If your application requires less force, the 25 mm MIC bore provides 245.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa; if you need substantially more power, stepping up to the 40 mm bore yields 628.3 N. The adjustable air cushion is essential here: for a 600 mm stroke moving heavy masses at speeds up to 800 mm/s, dialing in the end-of-stroke deceleration prevents mechanical damage. Note that the cushion only slows the piston near the end of travel; it does not function as a brake. If the air supply drops or the valve is centered, the piston will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold a suspended load safely. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, and TC trunnion brackets.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder uses a 1/8" air port and a 12 mm rod with an M10x1.25 male thread. At 0.5 MPa it generates 402.2 N of push force and 345.6 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa the push increases to 563 N and the pull to 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end to reduce shock; it is not a brake or lock. If air pressure drops, the piston will drift. To hold a load vertically, you must install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The -S magnet allows CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors to confirm position.
