About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X40U
Delivering 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, the AirTAC MIC32X40U is a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built for demanding actuation. It features a 32 mm bore, a 40 mm stroke, and a U-style 90-degree rear cover for flexible port and mounting orientation. The stainless-steel barrel and piston rod provide reliable mild corrosion and washdown resistance.
Unlike fixed bumper models, this unit uses an adjustable air cushion at both ends. You can tune a needle valve to decelerate the payload smoothly at high speeds, protecting the load and cutting noise. Based on the 0.5 MPa push rating, it handles a safe working load of roughly 241 N, lifting about 20.5 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. It uses a 1/8" port and a 12 mm rod.

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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X40U Is Used
Package Diverting
Handles the 241 N safe working load to push heavy cartons off a high-speed belt without harsh end-of-stroke impacts.
Clamp Actuation
Provides 402.2 N of clamping thrust at 0.5 MPa for securing metal parts during machining, with tuned cushions absorbing shock.
Vertical Lift Stops
Lifts roughly 20.5 kg payloads vertically in material handling tasks, relying on the stainless rod for washdown durability.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X40U the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore unit, stepping down to an MIC25X50 yields 245.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to an MIC40X50 provides 628.3 N. Choose this 32 mm model when your application requires that middle-ground force. The adjustable cushion proves essential when cycling at high speeds or moving heavy masses, as it prevents harsh end-of-stroke impacts.
Remember that the cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function as a brake or lock. If your system loses air, the piston will drift, so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for secure load holding. This specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors; select the -S variant if you require position sensing.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Back cover (CA/U/R/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Do not dismantle the riveted front/back covers.
- check Use correct back cover (CA/U/R/CM) & mount (LB/FA/SDB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC32X40U FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder features a 1/8" port and a 12 mm rod. 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 force of 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 choose the -S variant for position sensing. The stainless build and adjustable air cushions function identically.
