About the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X450SCM
Delivering 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting stainless steel round-body mini cylinder handles heavy-duty actuation with precision. The Ø40 mm bore uses a 1/4 inch port and a robust Ø16 mm rod with an M12x1.25 male thread. A built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches.
Twin adjustable air cushions at both ends allow you to needle-set the deceleration, soaking up high-speed kinetic energy to protect your payload and reduce noise. The stainless barrel and rod resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. With a 628.3 N push rating, it yields 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 MIC40X450SCM Is Used
Heavy Carton Diverting
Pushes loaded packaging cartons at high speed on a sorting line, using the adjustable cushion to stop the 450 mm stroke smoothly without slamming.
Pallet Component Loading
Lifts approximately 32 kg of fixture components vertically into a palletizing jig, relying on the 628.3 N thrust and stainless build.
Filler Head Actuation
Drives a filling nozzle assembly on a washdown packaging machine where the stainless rod and barrel resist mild moisture exposure.
Is the Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X450SCM the Right Cylinder?
For lower force needs, the Ø32 bore supplies 402.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while the Ø40 is the largest available MIC size. The adjustable cushion proves essential when moving heavy loads at high speeds up to 800 mm/s, preventing end-of-stroke impact. The CM round rear cover provides specific mounting and port orientation for your layout.
Because the air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end and acts as no brake, the rod will drift if air pressure drops. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for secure load holding. The -S magnet enables sensor tracking; a SKU without S cannot take a switch.
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 MIC40X450SCM FAQ
This double-acting cylinder features a 1/4 inch port and generates 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa it yields 879.6 N push and 738.9 N pull. The theoretical maximum force is 128.1 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Needle-set air cushions at both ends decelerate the piston near stroke end to cut shock, but this is not a lock or brake. The built-in -S magnet allows you to mount CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches for position detection.
