The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X200CM is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 200mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments.
Delivering robust linear motion, this double-acting round-body mini cylinder features a 40 mm bore and 200 mm stroke. The stainless-steel barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, making it suitable for washdown environments. A variable air cushion at both ends allows you to needle-set the deceleration, absorbing high-speed shocks to protect your load and reduce noise. It uses a 1/4" port and a male M12x1.25 rod thread.
In the larger non-ISO-6432 size class, this unit generates 628.3 N of push force and 527.8 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. For practical sizing, this translates to a safe working load of roughly 377 N, or the ability to lift about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Note that this specific SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position sensors without upgrading to 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.

| 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.

MI-family variants: MI / MIC (double acting ±cushion), MSI / MTI (single acting push / pull), MID / MICD (double rod ±cushion), MIJ / MICJ (adjustable stroke ±cushion). Back covers CA / U / R / CM. Mounting LB / FA / SDB / TC.
Uses the 628.3 N push force to deflect heavy cartons on a high-speed sorting line, relying on the adjustable cushion to stop the 200 mm stroke smoothly without slamming.
Maintains positive pull on packaging materials in mildly humid settings, where the stainless steel construction prevents rust and the 1/4" port delivers ample airflow.
Drives a pivoting pallet gate up to 32 kg, using the needle-set air cushion to decelerate the load safely at the end of its travel.
When sizing this 40 mm bore unit, consider stepping down to the MIC32 model if your application requires less force—it provides 402.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa. There is no larger standard MIC bore above 40 mm. The adjustable cushion is essential here if you are moving heavy loads at high speeds up to 800 mm/s, as it prevents destructive end-of-stroke impacts.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not function as a brake or lock. If your system loses air, the piston will drift, so install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for secure load holding. This model includes a CM round rear cover and supports LB, FA, SDB, and TC mounts.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4" port and a male M12x1.25 rod 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, this specific SKU does not include a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for sensing. Additionally, the stainless build offers mild corrosion resistance, and the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the load, serving as a bumper rather than a holding brake.
