The AirTAC Airtac MIC Cushioned Mini Cylinder MIC40X600SCM 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 879.6 N of push force at 0.7 MPa, the MIC40X600SCM is a heavy-duty round-body mini cylinder built for demanding automation. This double-acting actuator features a stainless-steel barrel and Ø16 mm piston rod that resist mild corrosion and washdown environments. A 1/4" port supplies the air, while the M12x1.25 male rod thread handles secure mounting. Because this 600 mm stroke exceeds the 500 mm standard maximum, it is manufactured as a non-standard, made-to-order unit.
Twin adjustable air cushions at both ends set this model apart from fixed-bumper designs, letting you needle-set the deceleration to eliminate end-of-stroke shock at high speeds. The built-in magnet (-S) supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG switches for position sensing, and the CM round rear cover provides specific port and mounting orientation. Based on the 628.3 N push force at 0.5 MPa, this actuator provides a safe working load of roughly 377 N, meaning it lifts about 32 kg vertically with a 2:1 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.
Uses the 879.6 N push force at 0.7 MPa to rapidly deflect heavy packaging on a conveyor, relying on the adjustable air cushion to softly stop the 600 mm stroke without slamming.
Lowers approximately 32 kg of raw material safely with a 2:1 margin, where the needle-set cushion prevents harsh drops at the end of the downward travel.
Pushes metal parts into a washdown station, leveraging the stainless-steel round barrel and rod to endure mildly corrosive moisture while handling the 600 mm traverse.
When sizing this 40 mm bore actuator, consider stepping down to the MIC32 bore, which provides 402.2 N push at 0.5 MPa if your load is lighter, as there is no larger MIC bore available above 40 mm. The adjustable air cushion is essential for this model if you are moving heavy loads at high speeds up to 800 mm/s, as it smoothly decelerates the piston to protect the workpiece. Note that the cushion only decelerates near the stroke end; it is not a brake. Because a standard cylinder does not hold position on air loss, you must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for suspended loads. You can mount this unit using LB foot, FA flange, SDB pivot, or TC trunnion brackets to suit your frame.
Quick checklist
This double-acting round-body mini cylinder has a 40 mm bore, a 600 mm non-standard stroke, a Ø16 mm rod, and a 1/4" port. 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. It operates at speeds of 30-800 mm/s.
No, the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and acts purely as a shock absorber, never as a lock or brake. If air loss occurs, the piston will drift, so you need an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold a suspended load. The -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors for position tracking.
