About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X225CM
Delivering 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting round-body mini cylinder handles heavy-duty actuation within a compact footprint. The MIC40X225CM features a 40 mm bore, a 225 mm stroke, and a 1/4 inch air port. Its stainless-steel barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. A CM round rear cover provides specific mounting orientation for your assembly.
A defining trait of this series is the needle-adjustable air cushion at both ends, which decelerates the piston near stroke extremes to absorb high-speed shock and reduce noise. This unit lacks a magnet, meaning it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors; choose the -S variant if position detection is required. Based on the 0.5 MPa push rating, it handles a safe working load of roughly 377 N, lifting about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin.

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 MIC40X225CM Is Used
Heavy Package Diversion
Uses the 628.3 N push force to deflect heavy cartons on a high-speed sorting line, relying on the adjustable air cushion to stop the 225 mm stroke without slamming.
Pallet Component Pusher
Pushes dense components into a palletizing zone, where the stainless build withstands damp ambient conditions and the cushion absorbs the kinetic energy of the load.
Vertical Flap Folding
Drives a folding arm downward on a packaging machine, lifting about 32 kg against gravity and using the needle-set deceleration to prevent crushing the box.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X225CM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 40 mm bore unit, consider the adjacent options in the range. Stepping down to the MIC32 yields 402.2 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, while the 40 mm bore provides the maximum thrust available in this series at 628.3 N. The adjustable air cushion is essential here if you are moving heavy loads at high speeds, as it prevents harsh end-of-stroke impacts that could damage your payload. If your mechanism must maintain its position during a loss of air pressure, note that this cylinder will drift; you must integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve to hold the load securely.
This specific SKU ships without a magnet and therefore cannot support CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You can mount it using LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot-block, or TC trunnion brackets. For bumper-only operation without the needle-set deceleration, the standard MI series is the related alternative.
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 MIC40X225CM FAQ
This 40 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4 inch air port and a 16 mm piston rod. It generates 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 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 must select the -S variant of the MIC series to enable magnetic position sensing. The adjustable air cushion at both ends only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and does not lock or hold the load.
