The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X35SCM is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 35mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a stainless-steel barrel and rod for mildly corrosive environments.
Delivering 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this 40 mm bore double-acting actuator brings adjustable air cushioning to heavy-duty mini cylinder tasks. The stainless-steel round barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments, while the needle-set cushions at both ends absorb end-of-stroke shock to protect your payload at high cycling speeds. Equipped with a CM round rear cover, it uses a 1/4 inch port and an M12x1.25 male rod thread.
With a theoretical maximum output of 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa, this model is built for substantial work. A practical computed insight shows a safe working load of roughly 377 N, translating to a vertical lift capacity of about 32 kg when applying a 2:1 safety margin. The integrated -S piston magnet enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensor switches for position detection.

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 positively deflect heavy packaged goods on a high-speed sorting line without end-of-stroke slamming.
Rapidly ejects dense machined metal components, relying on the adjustable air cushion to silently absorb the sudden deceleration.
Lifts approximately 32 kg of stacked product vertically with a 2:1 safety margin, benefiting from the stainless build in humid settings.
When sizing this actuator, stepping down to the MIC32 bore drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 402.2 N, whereas this 40 mm bore provides 628.3 N; no larger MIC bore exists, so for loads exceeding 879.6 N at 0.7 MPa you must switch to a different cylinder family. Select this model specifically when operating at high speeds up to 800 mm/s where the adjustable end cushions are essential to prevent impact damage.
Remember that the air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and does not function as a brake. If your application must hold a vertical load during air loss or valve centering, the piston will drift, requiring an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, and TC trunnion brackets.
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore cylinder features a 1/4 inch port and an M12x1.25 male rod thread. It generates 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 879.6 N push and 738.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and is not a locking brake; an external rod lock or pilot check valve is needed to hold loads on air loss. Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it fully supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensor switches.
