The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X80U 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 duty cycles. The stainless-steel barrel and piston rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. A needle-set variable air cushion at both ends absorbs high-speed end-of-stroke shock, protecting your payload and reducing noise. This U-style configuration features a 90-degree rear cover for specific mounting orientations.
Equipped with a 12 mm rod, M10x1.25 male thread, and a 1/8" port, it operates at speeds from 30 to 800 mm/s. Without the -S magnet option, this specific SKU cannot accept position sensors. For vertical applications, it safely lifts about 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Note that the cushion only decelerates the load near stroke end; it does not function as a brake.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC MI/MIC (ISO 6432) datasheet. Barrel & rod: stainless steel (round-body, riveted construction). Thread options: PT (blank) / G. Note: the Ø32 bore is a larger, non-ISO-6432 size.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 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.

| ×80 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -S | Optional built-in magnet for CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensors. |
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.
Drives conveyor sorting arms at high cycle rates, using the adjustable cushion to halt the 402.2 N thrust smoothly without slamming the payload.
Opens and closes packaging jaws rapidly; the stainless build handles washdown while the needle-set cushion protects the cardboard folding mechanics.
Lifts light access gates or product trays up to 20.5 kg vertically, relying on the 1/8" port airflow for swift, cushioned actuation.
When sizing this 32 mm bore, stepping down to the MIC25X50 yields 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the MIC40X80 provides 628.3 N. Choose this 32 mm model when moving moderate masses at high velocities where the adjustable cushion is critical for smooth stops. The U back cover suits 90-degree port or mounting layouts.
Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet, it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches; add the -S suffix if you need sensing. Remember that a standard cylinder drifts on air loss—the cushion decelerates but does not hold position. Specify an external pilot check valve or rod lock for load holding.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" port and a 12 mm rod with an M10x1.25 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, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must order the -S variant for sensing capabilities. The adjustable air cushion will decelerate the load at stroke end but will not lock or hold the position.
