About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X100SU
Delivering 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, the AirTAC MIC40X100SU is a robust double-acting round-body mini cylinder built for demanding motion tasks. A 1/4 inch port feeds the 16 mm piston rod, while the U-type back cover provides a 90-degree mounting orientation for tight machinery layouts. The stainless-steel barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments.
Twin adjustable air cushions at both stroke ends let you needle-set the deceleration to absorb shock at high cycling speeds, protecting the load and reducing noise. This translates to a safe working load of roughly 377 N, or a vertical lift capacity of about 32 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. The built-in magnet (-S) directly supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X100SU Is Used
Heavy Package Diverting
Handles heavier cartons on high-speed sorting lines where the adjustable cushion absorbs the 628.3 N end-of-stroke impact during rapid routing changes.
Vertical Material Lowering
Lowers approximately 32 kg of raw material safely, using the needle-set cushion to prevent harsh dropping when reaching the 100 mm stroke bottom.
Carton Flap Folding
Drives thick cardboard flaps on packaging machinery, relying on the stainless steel rod to withstand mildly humid or washdown factory conditions.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X100SU the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 40 mm bore, stepping down to a MIC32 yields 402.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas this MIC40 provides 628.3 N; no larger bore exists in the MIC family. The adjustable air cushion is essential if you drive heavy 100 mm strokes at high speeds, as it softly decelerates the piston near the end caps without harsh impacts.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the load and never acts as a lock or brake. If your system loses air, the piston will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended load. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, and TC trunnion brackets.
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 MIC40X100SU FAQ
This 40 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4 inch port and a 16 mm rod. It generates 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 879.6 N push and 738.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum force of 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, the -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end to reduce shock; it does not lock or hold the load on air loss, so use a pilot check valve for vertical holding.
