About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X200SCM
Delivering 879.6 N of push force at 0.7 MPa, the MIC40X200SCM is a robust round-body mini cylinder built for demanding automated machinery. This double-acting actuator utilizes a stainless-steel barrel and a Ø16 mm piston rod to resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. It features a 1/4" port and a male M12x1.25 rod thread, carrying a 200 mm stroke. Unlike standard bumper models, this unit incorporates a variable air cushion at both ends, allowing you to tune the deceleration and eliminate end-of-stroke banging.
For sizing logic, the 628.3 N push force at 0.5 MPa translates to a safe working load of roughly 377 N. In a vertical lift scenario with a 2:1 safety margin, it lifts about 32 kg. The CM round rear cover provides a clean back-end profile for your mounting arrangement. Because the cushion only decelerates the load near the stroke end, it acts purely as a shock absorber rather than a brake.

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 MIC40X200SCM Is Used
Heavy Carton Diversion
Pushes heavy cardboard cartons across high-speed packaging lines without slamming, using the adjustable air cushion to absorb the 879.6 N impact energy at stroke end.
Vertical Press Assembly
Drives lightweight press fittings downward, safely lifting and lowering roughly 32 kg of tooling weight while the needle-set cushion prevents harsh bottoming.
Pallet Component Handling
Moves dense sub-components into staging zones on stainless construction that withstands humid or mildly washdown warehouse environments.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X200SCM the Right Cylinder?
When selecting this 40 mm bore actuator, compare it directly against the smaller Ø32 bore variant, which supplies 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires even more power, note that 40 mm is the largest available bore in this series. The adjustable air cushion is essential here when driving heavy loads at high cycling speeds, as it protects both the machinery and the workpiece from impact damage.
Keep in mind that a pneumatic cylinder cannot hold a load vertically if air pressure drops or the valve is centered; the piston will drift. To secure a suspended load, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. To add position sensing, ensure you specify the -S magnet option to enable CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches.
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 MIC40X200SCM FAQ
This double-acting cylinder uses a 1/4" port and generates a push force of 628.3 N and a pull force of 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 879.6 N and the pull force is 738.9 N. The theoretical maximum force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
You must order the -S magnet option to mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG position switches. The variable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end to reduce shock; it does not function as a brake or lock, so you need a pilot check valve to hold a load.
