The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X150CM is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 150mm 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 loads within a compact 40 mm bore. The stainless-steel barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. A needle-set variable air cushion at both ends absorbs end-of-stroke shock, protecting payloads at high cycling speeds up to 800 mm/s.
Equipped with a 1/4 inch port and a CM round rear cover for straightforward mounting orientation, the unit yields a safe working load of roughly 377 N. This translates to lifting about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Note this specific SKU lacks a magnet, meaning it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors without upgrading to an -S variant.

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 Ø40 bore is a larger, non-ISO-6432 size.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 628 N | 528 N |
| 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.
Pushes loaded packaging cartons at high cycle rates, using the adjustable cushion to halt the 628.3 N stroke smoothly without jarring the conveyor belt.
Indexes dense metal parts into a staging area, where the stainless build withstands humid warehouse conditions and the 1/4 inch port drives rapid actuation.
Lowers a 32 kg fixture safely, relying on the dual air cushions to decelerate the descent just before the CM rear cover reaches its base mount.
When sizing this 40 mm bore, stepping down to an MIC32 provides 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, while no larger MIC bore exists for higher demands. Choose this 40 mm model when moving heavier assemblies at high velocities where the adjustable air cushion is essential to prevent end-of-stroke impact. The cushion strictly decelerates the piston near the stroke end and does not function as a lock or brake.
Because this SKU has no -S magnet, position sensing is unavailable out of the box. Furthermore, a standard pneumatic cylinder will drift and lose its load if air pressure drops; for suspended or gravity-loaded applications, integrate an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold the position securely.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4 inch port and a Ø16 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.
No, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches cannot be used. You must select an -S variant for sensing capabilities. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the load near stroke end and does not lock the rod.
