About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X175U
Delivering 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting round-body mini cylinder handles heavy loads within a 175 mm stroke. The stainless-steel barrel and piston rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. A 90-degree U rear cover provides flexible port and mounting orientation. It features a 1/4" air port and a male M12x1.25 rod thread.
Twin adjustable air cushions at both ends let you needle-set the deceleration to absorb high-speed stroke shock, protecting machinery and reducing noise. This unit yields a safe working load of roughly 377 N, lifting about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors without the -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.
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 MIC40X175U Is Used
Heavy Carton Diverting
Uses the 628.3 N push force to deflect heavy packed cartons on a high-speed sorting line, relying on the adjustable cushion to prevent end-of-stroke impact.
Vertical Press Assembly
Pushes a bearing into a housing with a 175 mm stroke, where the needle-set cushion smoothly decelerates the 16 mm rod before the bottom of the travel.
Pallet Lid Placement
Lowers heavy wooden lids onto pallets in washdown zones, benefiting from the stainless construction and the 90-degree U cover for tight frame clearances.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X175U the Right Cylinder?
For lower force needs, the MIC32 bore provides 402.2 N push at 0.5 MPa, while this Ø40 is the largest available MIC size with no larger bore offered. The adjustable cushion is essential when cycling at high speeds or moving heavy payloads, as it purely decelerates the piston near stroke end without acting as a lock or brake. If you need to hold a load vertically during air loss, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Mount via LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion.
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 MIC40X175U FAQ
This double-acting cylinder uses a 1/4" port and 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, this specific SKU does not include a magnet and cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for sensing. The adjustable air cushions at both ends only serve to decelerate the load, not to hold it in place.
