The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X400U is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 400mm 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 rod shrug off mild corrosion, while the U-style 90-degree rear cover simplifies port and mounting orientation. A 1/8 inch port feeds the 12 mm piston rod to support rapid actuation.
Twin adjustable air cushions replace fixed bumpers, letting you needle-set the deceleration to absorb end-of-stroke shock across the 400 mm travel. Based on the 0.5 MPa push rating, the safe working load is roughly 241 N, lifting about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors.

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.

| ×400 | 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.
Shifts heavier packages across a 400 mm stroke where the adjustable air cushion prevents harsh slamming at 800 mm/s.
Provides 402.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa to fold corrugated flaps, using the U-cover for clean 90-degree mounting.
Lifts roughly 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin, relying on the stainless build for humid storage environments.
For lighter loads, the MIC25X50 delivers 245.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the MIC40X400 provides 628.3 N if your application outgrows this 32 mm bore. Choose this 32 mm variant when moving heavier masses at high speed, as the needle-set air cushion actively decelerates the piston to prevent impact damage.
Because this is a non-magnet SKU, position sensing is unavailable; add the -S suffix if you require CMSG or DMSG switches. Remember the cushion only slows the piston near stroke end and does not act as a brake; fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a load securely during air loss.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder uses 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, 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet and cannot host 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 function as a locking brake.
