The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X40CM is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 40mm stroke, 1/4" 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 where standard small bores stall. The Ø32 mm stainless-steel barrel and rod shrug off mild washdown and corrosion, while the CM round rear cover keeps port orientation clean for tight assemblies. A 1/4" port feeds the chamber efficiently.
Twin needle-set air cushions at both ends absorb end-of-stroke shock at high speeds, protecting your payload and lowering machine noise compared to fixed-bumper designs. Lacking the -S suffix, this specific SKU has no magnet and cannot host CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors; add an -S variant if you need position feedback.

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.

| ×40 | 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.
Uses the 402.2 N push force to snap heavier packaging cartons off a main conveyor line without bouncing them back.
Pushes lightweight bearings or pins into housings, relying on the adjustable cushion to soften the impact at the 40 mm stroke end.
Halts incoming pallets on a gravity roller track, where the needle-set cushion prevents a hard metal crash.
With a safe working load of roughly 241 N (about 60% of its 0.5 MPa push force), this bore fits mid-range pushing and lifting. If you need less force, stepping down to the Ø25 MIC drops push output to 245.3 N; if you need more, the Ø40 MIC raises it to 628.3 N. The adjustable cushion shines when moving heavier masses at high speed, but remember it only decelerates the load near the stroke end. It will not hold position on air loss, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve if drift is unacceptable. Mount it via LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot or TC trunnion brackets.
Quick checklist
It uses a 1/4" port with an M10x1.25 male rod thread. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 402.2 N and pulls 345.6 N. At 0.7 MPa it pushes 563 N and pulls 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No. Because this model lacks the -S suffix, it has no internal magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. You must select an -S version of the MIC cylinder to use magnetic sensing.
