About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X160CM
Delivering 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this 40 mm bore double-acting actuator brings adjustable air cushioning to heavy-duty mini cylinder tasks. The needle-set cushions at both ends absorb end-of-stroke shock at high speeds, protecting your payload while cutting noise. A stainless-steel round barrel and piston rod supply mild corrosion resistance for washdown environments.
This riveted round-body mini cylinder runs at 30-800 mm/s and features a 1/4" port with an M12x1.25 male rod thread. It yields a safe working load of about 377 N, lifting roughly 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Equipped with a CM round rear cover, this specific SKU lacks a magnet and cannot host position sensors; choose the -S variant for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.

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 MIC40X160CM Is Used
Heavy Carton Diverting
Uses the 628.3 N push force to deflect heavy packed cartons at high speed, with the adjustable cushion preventing harsh impacts at the stroke end.
Vertical Flap Folding
Pushes thick packaging flaps down rapidly; the needle-set cushion ensures a soft landing without crushing the cardboard.
Pallet Component Pusher
Shifts dense components across a stainless workstation, benefiting from the 377 N safe working load and washdown-ready construction.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X160CM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 40 mm unit, dropping down to the MIC32 bore reduces the 0.5 MPa push force to 402.2 N, while the 40 mm is the largest available MIC bore. The adjustable cushion is essential when moving heavy loads at high speeds, as it decelerates the piston smoothly without bouncing. Remember that the air cushion only slows the stroke near the end points; it does not function as a brake. If your application must hold a load vertically during air loss, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
For mounting flexibility, you can pair the CM back cover with LB foot brackets, FA flanges, SDB pivot blocks, or TC trunnions. Because this model has no internal magnet, it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors. If you need position feedback, select the -S magnet option and mount the switch directly onto the stainless steel barrel.
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 MIC40X160CM FAQ
This double-acting 40 mm bore cylinder pushes with 628.3 N and pulls with 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, push is 879.6 N and pull is 738.9 N. The theoretical maximum force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a 1/4" air port and an M12x1.25 male rod thread.
This SKU has no internal magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors; you need the -S variant for sensing. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end to reduce shock, but it does not lock or hold the load. For position holding on air loss, use an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
