The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X600CM is a genuine double acting + cushion round-body mini air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 600mm 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 double-acting round-body mini cylinder handles heavy-duty tasks with a 600 mm stroke. Because 600 mm exceeds the 500 mm standard maximum for this bore, the MIC40X600CM is produced as a non-standard, made-to-order unit. The stainless-steel barrel and Ø16 mm piston rod provide reliable mild corrosion and washdown resistance, while the CM round rear cover dictates specific port and mounting orientations.
A defining feature is the adjustable air cushion at both ends, letting you tune a needle valve to absorb high-speed end-of-stroke shock, protecting the load and reducing noise. Based on the 0.5 MPa push rating, it handles a safe working load of about 377 N, lifting roughly 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 safety margin. Note this SKU lacks a magnet, so it cannot accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors without switching to an -S variant.

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.

| 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.

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.
Pushes heavy pallets along a 600 mm conveyor lane, relying on the 628.3 N thrust and tuned air cushion to halt the load smoothly without slamming.
Folds large corrugated boxes at high speed, where the adjustable end-cushioning prevents tearing the board during the long 600 mm travel.
Actuates stainless-steel routing gates in damp logistics hubs, using the 377 N safe working load to pivot heavy assemblies reliably.
When sizing this actuator, stepping down to the MIC32 bore drops the 0.5 MPa push force to 402.2 N, while no larger MIC bore exists above Ø40. The adjustable cushion is essential here for high-speed or heavy loads moving through the extended 600 mm stroke, as it decelerates the piston smoothly. Remember this cushion only slows the piston near stroke end; it is not a brake. To prevent drift on air loss, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
Mounting options include LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot-block, and TC trunnion brackets. This specific model uses a 1/4" port and an M12x1.25 male rod thread. Because it has no -S magnet, position sensing is unavailable on this SKU.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder has a 40 mm bore, a 1/4" port, and a 600 mm non-standard stroke. It generates 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 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 accept CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. You would need the -S variant for sensing. The adjustable air cushion at both ends only decelerates the load near stroke end and does not lock or hold the position if air pressure is lost.
