About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X15CM
Delivering 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this 40 mm bore double-acting actuator handles heavy-duty work with ease. It features a stainless-steel round barrel and piston rod that resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. The CM round rear cover provides a clean, compact mounting footprint for tight machinery layouts. A 1/4 inch port feeds the chamber efficiently to drive the 16 mm rod.
Twin adjustable air cushions at both stroke ends distinguish this model from fixed-bumper designs, letting you needle-set the deceleration to absorb high-speed impact. For vertical lifting tasks, it safely handles about 32 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Note this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors; you must specify the -S variant for position detection.

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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø40mm)
| 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.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X15CM Is Used
Heavy Carton Diverter
Rapidly pushes heavy packaged goods at 800 mm/s onto a secondary line, relying on the adjustable air cushion to halt the 628 N thrust without slamming.
Short-Stroke Stamping
Executes 15 mm pressing actions on metal components, using the stainless build to endure light splashing from nearby coolant fluids.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a robust 40 mm pneumatic stop for incoming pallets, absorbing the kinetic impact through its needle-set end cushions.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X15CM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 40 mm bore unit, stepping down to the MIC32 drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 402.2 N, while no larger MIC bore exists above this. The adjustable cushion proves essential when moving heavy loads at high speeds up to 800 mm/s, preventing end-of-stroke banging. This unit uses a 1/4 inch port and an M12x1.25 male rod thread.
Because it is a standard double-acting cylinder, it will not hold a load if air pressure drops; the piston drifts, and the cushion only decelerates near the stroke end rather than acting as a brake. For suspended loads, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve. Furthermore, since this exact configuration ships without a magnet, it cannot support magnetic 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 MIC40X15CM FAQ
This 40 mm bore, 15 mm stroke cylinder uses a 1/4 inch port and a 16 mm rod with an M12x1.25 male thread. 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 SKU lacks a magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches; you need the -S variant for sensing. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end to reduce shock and noise; it is not a brake or lock, so the piston will drift on air loss.
