About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X40CM
With a 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, this 40 round-body mini cylinder handles substantial loads in tight spaces. The stainless-steel barrel and rod resist mild corrosion, making it a fit for washdown-adjacent stations where painted cylinders would soon show wear.
The MIC40X40CM stands apart from the bumper-style MI by its needle-adjustable air cushions at both ends. At speeds up to 800 mm/s, you dial in the deceleration to kill end-of-stroke shock, protecting both the load and the machine frame. The CM back cover provides a round rear end for compact mounting layouts.

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 MIC40X40CM Is Used
High-Speed Pick-and-Place
Move 30 kg payloads at up to 800 mm/s with the needle-set cushions absorbing end-of-stroke impact, preventing part damage and frame vibration.
Case Ejection on Packing Lines
The 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa shoves filled cases onto conveyors; the adjustable cushion keeps the ejection stroke quiet and shock-free at high cycle rates.
Washdown-Area Gate Actuation
Stainless barrel and rod shrug off mild moisture and cleaning agents, while the 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa retracts heavy safety gates reliably.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X40CM the Right Cylinder?
For a 40 mm bore, the next smaller MIC is the 32 at 402.2 N push - a 36% drop in force. If your application needs more than 628.3 N, there is no larger MIC; step up to a different AirTAC series. The cushion adjustment matters most when cycling fast with a heavy payload, as it prevents the piston from slamming into the end caps.
This SKU has no -S magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. Also note: a plain cylinder does not hold its load on air loss - the piston drifts. For vertical holding, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot block, and TC trunnion.
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 MIC40X40CM FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, push is 628.3 N and pull is 527.8 N. At 0.7 MPa, push rises to 879.6 N and pull to 738.9 N. Theoretical maximum force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa.
A needle valve at each end controls exhaust air near stroke end, decelerating the piston smoothly instead of a hard bumper stop. This SKU has no -S magnet, so magnetic switches (CMSG/DMSG/EMSG) cannot be mounted. The -S variant adds the magnet for sensing.
