About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X175CM
Delivering 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless steel round-body mini cylinder handles heavy-duty actuation with a 175 mm stroke. The CM round rear cover provides a clean back-end profile for straightforward port and mounting orientation. A 1/4" port feeds the 16 mm piston rod to generate substantial thrust without needing a larger profile body.
Twin adjustable air cushions let you dial in the end-of-stroke deceleration via a needle valve, effectively soaking up kinetic energy at high speeds to protect your payload and reduce noise. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. For vertical applications, this bore yields a safe working load of roughly 377 N, meaning it lifts about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Note this base SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG sensors; you must specify the -S variant for position sensing.

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 MIC40X175CM Is Used
Heavy Package Diversion
Snaps heavy cartons across a high-speed belt at 800 mm/s, using the adjustable cushion to stop the 628.3 N stroke without slamming the diverter arm.
Vertical Flap Folding
Drives thick packaging flaps downward with enough force to crease heavy cardboard, relying on the needle-set cushion to prevent tearing on the downstroke.
Pallet Component Pusher
Shoves dense assemblies into pallet lanes, where the 377 N safe working load easily shifts the weight while the stainless build tolerates dusty logistics hubs.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X175CM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 40 mm bore, dropping down to the MIC32X50 yields 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, while no larger MIC bore exists above this. Choose this 40 mm model when moving heavier masses at high speeds, as the adjustable air cushion is essential to prevent harsh end-of-stroke impacts that a fixed bumper cannot absorb. Operating speed ranges from 30 to 800 mm/s.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function as a lock or brake. If air pressure drops or the valve is centered, the piston will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve to hold a suspended load. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot-block and TC trunnion brackets to suit your layout.
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 MIC40X175CM FAQ
This 40 mm bore double-acting cylinder uses a 1/4" air port and a 16 mm piston 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 specific SKU does not include a magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG or EMSG switches. You must purchase the -S variant for position sensing. The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the load near the stroke end and will not hold the load in place on air loss.
