About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X160SCM
Delivering serious thrust for a compact unit, the AirTAC MIC40X160SCM is a double-acting round-body mini cylinder built with a stainless-steel barrel and rod. It pushes with 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa and pulls 527.8 N, making it suitable for heavy-duty handling. A 1/4" port feeds the 16 mm piston rod, while the CM round rear cover provides flexible mounting orientation.
The defining feature is the adjustable air cushion at both ends, letting you tune deceleration to protect payloads at high cycling speeds. The stainless construction offers mild washdown resistance. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 377 N, meaning it lifts about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Because this is a 40 mm bore, it is a non-ISO-6432 size. The S suffix indicates a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X160SCM Is Used
Heavy Package Diverting
Handles stout cartons on high-speed sorting lines where the 628.3 N push force and tuned end-cushions prevent harsh impacts during rapid stroke changes.
Pallet Stopper Arms
Halts loaded pallets securely; the stainless build survives damp packaging areas and the adjustable cushion softens the 879.6 N peak stop force.
Vertical Lift Gates
Lifts roughly 32 kg access doors with a 2:1 safety margin, relying on the 1/4" port and 16 mm rod for stable mechanical motion.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X160SCM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 40 mm bore unit, stepping down to a MIC32 drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 402.2 N, while no larger MIC bore exists. Choose this model when moving heavier masses at high speeds, as the needle-set air cushions actively decelerate the load near stroke end to cut shock and noise. Remember the cushion only slows the piston; it does not lock the rod. If gravity or air loss could cause drift, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, and TC trunnion blocks.
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 MIC40X160SCM FAQ
This double-acting cylinder uses a 1/4" 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, or 879.6 N push and 738.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and acts purely as a shock absorber, never as a brake. If you need to hold a vertical load against air loss or drifting, you must add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
