The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X80CM is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 80mm stroke, 1/8" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments.
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting round-body mini cylinder handles heavier actuation tasks with confidence. It features a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mild corrosion resistance, making it suitable for washdown environments. The CM round rear cover provides a clean, standard mounting footprint for straightforward integration.
A defining trait of the MIC series is the adjustable air cushion at both ends. By turning a needle valve, you tune the end-of-stroke deceleration to absorb high-speed shock, protecting your payload and lowering noise far better than a fixed bumper. This base SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept position switches; choose the -S variant if you need CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors. With a 1/8" port and a safe working load around 241 N, it lifts about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

| 0.5 MPa | 402 N | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | 484 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 82 kgf | |
Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

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.
Pushes heavier corrugated cartons across a high-speed sorting line where the 402.2 N thrust and tuned cushioning prevent harsh slams at the end of the 80 mm stroke.
Folds thick packaging flaps rapidly, using the adjustable needle valve to gently decelerate the 12 mm rod before impact, protecting delicate film and mechanical joints.
Indexes rigid components into a palletizing zone, benefiting from the stainless build and CM rear cover for reliable mounting in mildly humid dispatch areas.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, compare it directly against adjacent models. Dropping down to the MIC25X50 reduces your push force to 245.3 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the MIC40X75 raises it to 628.3 N. Choose this 32 mm option when your application demands substantial thrust but you want to keep the physical footprint compact. The adjustable cushion is essential if you are cycling at high speeds or moving heavy masses, as it prevents harsh end-of-stroke impacts.
Because this is a non-magnetized SKU, it cannot support sensing switches. If your sequence requires position feedback, select the -S version to enable CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors. Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function as a brake. If you need to hold a load vertically during air loss or valve centering, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve to prevent drift.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder uses a 1/8" port and a 12 mm piston rod with an M10x1.25 male 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.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. You must order the -S variant for sensing capabilities. The adjustable air cushion at both ends only serves to decelerate the load near stroke end and does not lock or hold the position.
