About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X250CM
Delivering 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting round-body mini cylinder handles heavy loads with precision. The stainless-steel barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. It features a CM round rear cover for straightforward port and mounting orientation. A 1/4" port feeds the 16 mm piston rod to drive substantial thrust.
Twin adjustable air cushions distinguish this unit from standard bumper models, letting you needle-set the deceleration to silence end-of-stroke bangs at high speed. Based on the 0.5 MPa push rating, it yields a safe working load of roughly 377 N, lifting about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors without switching to an -S variant.

Where the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X250CM Is Used
Heavy Carton Diversion
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 harsh impact at the stroke end.
Pallet Flap Folding
Folds large cardboard flaps on oversized pallets, where the 32 kg vertical lift capacity and stainless construction handle the rigorous washdown cycle.
Gate Actuation
Drives a heavy gravity roller gate in a distribution hub, using the needle-set air cushion to bring the 250 mm stroke to a smooth, quiet stop.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X250CM the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 40 mm bore, dropping down to a MIC32 yields 402.2 N push at 0.5 MPa, while no larger MIC bore exists for heavier demands. The variable air cushion is essential if you cycle at high speeds or move heavy masses, as it protects the machinery from end-of-stroke shock. This cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end; it does not lock or hold the load. If your application must prevent drift on air loss, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
You can mount this cylinder using LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion hardware. Because this specific model has no -S suffix, it cannot accept position sensors. Choose the -S magnet version if your control system requires 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 MIC40X250CM FAQ
This 40 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4" port and a 16 mm rod with an M12x1.25 male thread. 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, so it cannot host CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You must select the -S variant to enable magnetic sensing. The adjustable air cushion at both ends only decelerates the load near stroke end and does not function as a brake or lock.
