About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X10SCM
Delivering robust push force, the MIC40X10SCM is a double-acting, round-body stainless steel mini cylinder built for demanding actuation. It generates 628.3 N of push force and 527.8 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The stainless barrel and Ø16 mm piston rod supply mild corrosion resistance for washdown settings, while the 1/4" port feeds the chamber efficiently. A built-in magnet enables position sensing.
Unlike standard bumper models, this unit features an adjustable air cushion at both ends. Turning the cushion needle lets you tune end-of-stroke deceleration, absorbing high-speed shock to protect the load and reduce noise. For sizing, it yields a safe working load of roughly 377 N, meaning it lifts about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. The CM round rear cover provides a clean, standard mounting interface.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X10SCM Is Used
High-Mass Diverting
Pushes heavy cartons at high speed on a packaging line, using the adjustable air cushion to bring the 628.3 N thrust to a smooth halt without slamming.
Controlled Lowering
Lowers a 30 kg fixture vertically, relying on the needle-set deceleration to prevent end-of-stroke shock while benefiting from the stainless build in damp areas.
Heavy Clamp Actuation
Drives a clamping jaw in a machining cell, where the 1/4" port and 16 mm rod handle the substantial force needed to secure metal workpieces.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X10SCM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 40 mm bore actuator, compare it against the adjacent MIC32 option, which provides 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If the MIC32 lacks sufficient thrust, this model steps up the output to 628.3 N at the same pressure. Since the MIC40 is the largest available bore in the series, moving beyond 879.6 N at 0.7 MPa requires a different cylinder family entirely.
The adjustable air cushion proves essential when driving heavier masses at high speeds, as it prevents harsh end-of-stroke impacts. Note that the cushion only decelerates the piston; it does not function as a lock or brake. If your application must hold a load vertically during air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. The included -S magnet supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches, and you can mount the body using LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or 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 MIC40X10SCM FAQ
This 40 mm bore double-acting cylinder features a 1/4" port and a 16 mm piston rod. It delivers 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.
The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for use with CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end and does not act as a brake; you need an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a load on air loss.
