The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X100SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 100mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments.
Delivering 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting round-body mini cylinder handles heavy-duty actuation with precision. The MIC40X100SCM features a 40 mm bore, a 100 mm stroke, and a robust stainless-steel barrel and rod that resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. A 1/4" port supplies the air, while the M12x1.25 male rod thread secures your load.
Twin adjustable air cushions at both ends set this model apart, letting you needle-set the deceleration to eliminate end-of-stroke shock at high cycling speeds. It yields a safe working load of roughly 377 N, meaning it lifts about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The built-in -S piston magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches, and the CM round rear cover provides flexible mounting orientation.

| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | 739 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 128 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.
Uses the 628.3 N push force to positively deflect heavy cartons on a high-speed sorting line without bounce.
Pulls 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa to fold thick cardboard packaging, relying on the needle-set cushion to prevent slamming.
Ejects dense stamped parts rapidly, using the adjustable end cushions to softly decelerate the 16 mm rod before impact.
When sizing this 40 mm bore unit, consider stepping down to the MIC32 (402.2 N push @0.5 MPa) for lighter loads, as no larger standard MIC bore exists. The adjustable cushion proves essential when driving heavy payloads at high speeds, protecting both the machinery and the workpiece from impact damage. Keep in mind the cushion only decelerates near the stroke end; it does not function as a brake. If your application must hold a load vertically during air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. The -S magnet enables sensor tracking, and you can pair the CM back cover with LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion mounts.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore cylinder operates at speeds of 30-800 mm/s. It generates 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 879.6 N push and 738.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Air is supplied via a 1/4" port.
No, the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it is not a lock or brake, so the load will drift on air loss. Use an external rod lock for holding. The -S designation means a magnet is built in for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches.
